Proposed Project

    Minimum Data Elements (MDEs) for the National Breast and Cervical 
Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) (OMB<greek-i> 0920-0571 exp. 
1/31/2010)--Extension--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention 
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Congress established the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early 
Detection Program (NBCCEDP) in 1991 by enacting the Breast and Cervical 
Cancer Mortality Prevention Act of 1990. This legislation authorized 
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to provide funding 
to states for the development and maintenance of early detection 
programs designed to ensure that under-served, low income, and under-
insured women receive access to breast and cervical cancer screening 
services. Services provided through the NBCCEDP include clinical breast 
examinations, mammograms and Pap tests, timely and adequate diagnostic 
testing for abnormal results, and referrals to appropriate treatment. 
The NBCCEDP has operated for 19 years and currently funds 68 programs 
including all 50 states, five U.S. Territories, 12 American Indian/
Alaska Native organizations and the District of Columbia.

    NBCCEDP awardees collect patient-level screening and tracking data 
to manage the program and clinical services, and transmit a de-
identified subset of data on patient demographics, screening tests and 
outcomes to CDC twice per year (Minimum Data Elements (MDEs) for the 
NBCCEDP, OMB No. 0920-0571, exp. 1/31/2010). CDC requests OMB approval 
to continue electronic information collection for three additional 
years.
    CDC uses the MDEs to monitor and evaluate NBCCEDP awardees; improve 
the availability and quality of screening and diagnostic services for 
underserved women; develop outreach strategies for women who are never 
or rarely screened for breast and cervical cancer; and report program 
results to Congress and other legislative authorities. There are no 
costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated 
annualized burden hours are 544.
