Proposed Project 

Longitudinal follow-up of Youth with 

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder 

identified in Community Settings: 

Examining Health Status, Correlates, 

and Effects associated with treatment for 

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder 

[OMB #0920–0747 exp. 7/31/1010]— 

Revision—National Center on Birth 

Defects and Developmental Disabilities 

(NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

This project will collect data from 

proxy respondents and youths with and 

without ADHD. This program addresses 

the Healthy People 2010 focus area of 

Mental Health and Mental Disorders, 

and describes the prevalence, incidence, 

long-term outcomes, treatment(s), select 

co-morbid conditions, secondary 

conditions, and health risk behavior of 

youth with ADHD relative to youth 

without ADHD. 

The National Center on Birth Defects 

and Developmental Disabilities at CDC 

promotes the health of children with 

developmental disorders. As part of 

these efforts, two contracts were 

awarded in FY 2007–2010 to follow up 

a sample of children originally enrolled 

in community-based epidemiological 

research on ADHD among elementaryaged youth, known as the Project to 

Learn about ADHD in Youth (PLAY 

Study Collaborative), which informed 

community-based prevalence, rates of 

comorbidity, and rates of health risk 

behaviors among elementary-age youth 

with and without ADHD as determined 

by a rigorous case definition developed 

by the principal investigators and in 

collaboration with CDC scientists. 

The purpose of the longitudinal 

follow-up program is to study the longterm outcomes and health status for 

children with Attention-Deficit/ 

Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) 

identified and treated in community 

settings through a systematic follow-up 

of the subjects who participated in the 

PLAY Study Collaborative. There is a 

considerable interest in the long-term 

outcomes of youth with ADHD as well 

as the effects of treatment, lack of 

treatment, and quality of care in average 

US communities, emphasizing the 

public health importance of 

longitudinal research in this area. 

Given the lack of detailed information 

about longitudinal development in 

children with and without ADHD, there 

is need to continue assessing the 

children into older adolescence. This 

program extends data collection for two 

additional waves. 

Minor changes to the assessment 

instruments are planned in order to 

include age appropriate assessment of 

treatment and health risk behaviors in 

older adolescents, such as 

understanding motor vehicle operation 

and dating behavior. 

There are no costs to the respondents 

other than their time.

Proposed Project 

Occupational Injuries and Illnesses 

Among Emergency Medical Services 

(EMS) Workers: A NEISS–Work 

Telephone Interview Survey—New— 

National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Studies have reported that EMS 

workers have higher rates of non-fatal 

injuries and illnesses as compared to the 

general worker population. As EMS 

professionals are tasked with protecting 

the health of the public and treating 

urgent medical needs, it follows that 

understanding and preventing injuries 

and illnesses among EMS workers will 

have a benefit reaching beyond the 

workers to the general public. 

As mandated in the Occupational 

Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub.L 

91–596), the mission of NIOSH is to 

conduct research and investigations on 

occupational safety and health. Related 

to this mission, the purpose of this 

project is to conduct research that will 

provide a detailed description of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses 

incurred by EMS workers. The project 

will use two related data sources. The 

first source is data abstracted from 

medical records of EMS workers treated 

in a nationally stratified sample of 

emergency departments. These data are 

routinely collected by the occupational 

supplement to the National Electronic 

Injury Surveillance System (NEISS– 

Work). The second data source, for 

which NIOSH is seeking OMB approval, 

is responses to telephone interview 

surveys of the injured and ill EMS 

workers identified within NEISS–Work. 

The proposed telephone interview 

surveys will supplement NEISS–Work 

data with an extensive description of 

EMS worker injuries and illnesses, 

including worker characteristics, injury 

types, injury circumstances, injury 

outcomes, and use of personal 

protective equipment. Previous reports 

describing occupational injuries and 

illnesses to EMS workers provide 

limited details on specific regions or 

sub-segments of the population. As 

compared to these earlier studies, the 

scope of the telephone interview data 

will be broader as it includes sampled 

cases nationwide and has no limitations 

in regards to type of employment (i.e., 

volunteer versus career). Results from 

the telephone interviews will be 

weighted and reported as national 

estimates. 

The sample size for the telephone 

interview survey is estimated to be 

approximately 175 EMS workers 

annually for the proposed four year 

duration of the study. This estimate is 

based on the number of EMS workers 

identified in previous years of NEISS– 

Work data and a 50% response rate that 

is comparable to the rate of previously 

conducted National Electronic Injury 

Surveillance System telephone 

interview studies. Each telephone 

interview will take approximately 20 

minutes to complete, resulting in an 

annualized burden estimate of 58 hours. 

This project is a collaborative effort 

between the Division of Safety Research 

in the NIOSH and the Office of 

Emergency Medical Services in the 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration. Both agencies have a 

strong interest in improving 

surveillance of EMS worker injuries and 

illnesses to provide the information 

necessary for effectively targeting and 

implementing prevention efforts and, 

consequently, reducing occupational 

injuries and illnesses among EMS 

workers. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time. The total estimated 

annualized burden hours are 58.
