Proposed Project 

The Study to Explore Early 

Development, [OMB# 0920–0741 Exp. 

6/30/2010]—Revision—National Center 

on Birth Defects and Developmental 

Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

The Children’s Health Act of 2000 

mandated CDC to establish autism 

surveillance and research programs to 

address the number, incidence, 

correlates, and causes of autism and 

related disabilities. Under the 

provisions of this act, CDC funded 5 

Centers for Autism and Developmental 

Disabilities Research and Epidemiology 

(CADDRE) including the California 

Department of Health and Human 

Services, Colorado Department of Public 

Health and Environment, Johns Hopkins 

University, the University of 

Pennsylvania, and the University of 

North Carolina at Chapel Hill. CDC 

National Center on Birth Defects and 

Developmental Disabilities participates 

as the 6th CADDRE site. The SEED 

multi-site, collaborative project is an 

epidemiological investigation of 

possible causes for the autism spectrum 

disorders. 

Study participants are to be selected 

from children born in and residing in 

the following six areas: Atlanta 

metropolitan area, San Francisco Bay 

area, Denver metropolitan area, 

Baltimore metropolitan area, 

Philadelphia metropolitan area, and 

Central North Carolina. Children with 

autism spectrum disorders are 

compared to children with other 

developmental problems, referred to as 

the neurodevelopmentally impaired 

group (NIC), as well as children who do 

not have developmental problems, 

referred to as the subcohort. 

Data collection methods consist of the 

following: (1) Medical record review of 

the child participant; (2) medical record 

review of the biological mother of the 

child participant; (3) packets sent to the 

participants with self-administered 

questionnaires and a buccal swab kit; (4) 

a telephone interview focusing on 

pregnancy-related events and early life 

history (biological mother and/or 

primary caregiver interview); (5) a child 

development evaluation (more 

comprehensive for case participants 

than for the control group participants); 

(6) parent child development interview 

(for case participants only) administered 

over the telephone or in-person; (7) a 

physical exam of the child participant; 

(8) biological sampling of the child 

participant (blood and hair); and, (9) 

biological sampling of the biological 

parents of the child participant (blood 

only). Minor changes to some of the self 

administered questionnaires and the 

telephone interview include 

clarification of instructions to the 

respondent and clarifying specific 

questions to make the instruments 

easier to complete and further improve 

data quality. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time.

Survey, and Post Construction O&M 

Survey. Need and Use of Information 

Collection: The IHS goal is to raise the 

health status of the American Indian 

and Alaska Native people to the highest 

possible level by providing 

comprehensive health care and 

preventive health services. To support 

the IHS mission, the Sanitation 

Facilities Construction Program (SFCP) 

provides technical and financial 

assistance to American Indian Tribes 

and Alaska Native villages for 

cooperative development and continued 

operation of safe water, wastewater, and 

solid waste systems and related support 

facilities. 

The IHS of Environmental Health and 

Engineering (OEHE), SFCP ‘‘Customer 

Satisfaction Surveys,’’ will provide the 

information needed to complete these 

goals. With the information collected 

from Tribal homeowners, Tribal leaders, 

and Tribal operation and maintenance 

operators, the Sanitation facilities 

programs will make improvements that 

will result in improved quality of 

services. 

Voluntary customer satisfaction 

surveys will be conducted through 

phone calls, mail, and the Internet. The 

information gathered will be used by 

agency management and staff to identify 

strengths and weaknesses in current 

service provision, to plan and redirect 

resources, to make improvements that 

are practical and feasible, and to 

provide vital feedback to partner 

agencies, Tribal leaders, system 

operators, health boards, and 

community members regarding 

customer satisfaction or dissatisfaction 

with the SFCP. Affected Public: 

Individuals. Type of Respondents: 

Tribal homeowners, Tribal leaders, and 

Tribal operation and maintenance 

operators. 

The table below provides: Types of 

data collection instruments, Estimated 

number of respondents, Number of 

responses per respondent, Annual

Project: Adult Treatment Drug Court 

Cross-Site Evaluation for the Substance 

Abuse and Mental Health Services 

Administration (SAMHSA)—NEW 

SAMHSA’s Center for Substance 

Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is responsible 

for collecting data from 20 recently 

funded Adult Treatment Drug Court 

grantees and clients being served by 

expansion and/or enhancement grants. 

The main evaluation question is 

whether the addition of substance abuse 

treatment resources increases the 

positive results of drug courts. 

SAMHSA’s CSAT-funded grantees are 

required to participate in a cross-site 

evaluation as a contingency of their 

award. Data on each drug court and 

their processes will be collected during 

three annual site visits. Some data will 

be obtained through courtroom 

observations; no questionnaire will be 

administered to collect observational 

data. Additional data will be collected 

through interviews with drug court 

personnel and focus groups and 

interviews with drug court clients. 

CSAT requests approval for 

administering questionnaires to drug 

court personnel. CSAT also requests 

approval for conducting focus groups 

with drug court clients and 

administering questionnaires at 6- 

months post-discharge from the drug 

court.
