experiment. New guidelines for training 

for unexpected situations will be 

developed from the results of the 

laboratory experiment. The results and 

guidelines will be published in journal 

research papers and presented in 

international conferences and meeting. 

The Dynamic Decision Making 

Laboratory conducted this research with 

a total of 28 students from Carnegie 

Mellon University and the University of 

Pittsburgh between January 2010 and 

December 2010. Participants were 

recruited through an online research 

participant pool from Carnegie Mellon 

University and the University of 

Pittsburgh to participate in a simple 

DMGame, called the ‘‘Work Hazard 

Game.’’ Participants were asked to read 

and sign a consent form. After signing 

the form, participants were provided 

with instructions on how to play the 

game. They then completed the Work 

Hazard Game. Overall, participation 

lasted about 30 minutes. The game 

recorded participants’ actions and the 

data was transferred to statistical 

software (i.e., SPSS) for analysis. There 

were no costs to respondents other than 

their time. The total estimated annual 

burden hours are 14.

Proposed Project 

Underreporting of Occupational 

Injuries and Illnesses by Workers— 

New—National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

In 2008, the Congressional Committee 

on Education and Labor released the 

report, ‘‘Hidden Tragedy: 

Underreporting of Workplace Injuries 

and Illnesses,’’ indicating ‘‘that workrelated injuries and illnesses in the 

United States are chronically and even 

grossly underreported.’’ This report 

focused on employer-based reporting of 

occupational injuries and illnesses and 

the associated underreporting. Based in 

part on the report’s results, Congress 

allocated funds for NIOSH to conduct a 

follow-up study using the NIOSH’s 

occupational supplement to the 

National Electronic Injury Surveillance 

System (NEISS–Work) to estimate 

underreporting among individuals who 

seek care at an ED for an occupational 

illness, injury, or exposure. NEISS– 

Work, collected by the Consumer 

Product Safety Commission (CPSC), 

captures people who were treated in the 

emergency department (ED) for workrelated injuries or illnesses. 

Objectives for this project are to (1) 

assess the reporting behavior of workers 

that are injured, ill, or exposed to a 

harmful substance at work; (2) 

characterize the chronic aspects of 

work-related injuries or illnesses; and 

(3) estimate the prevalence of workrelated chronic injuries and illnesses 

among United States workers treated in 

emergency departments (EDs). 

Particular attention will be paid to selfemployed workers, workers with workrelated illnesses, and workers with 

chronic health problems. 

Data collection for the telephone 

interview survey will be done via a 

questionnaire containing questions 

about the respondent’s injury, illness, or 

exposure that sent them to the ED; the 

characteristics of the job they were 

working when they were injured, 

became ill, or were exposed; their 

experiences reporting their injury, 

illness, or exposure to the ED and their 

employer (if applicable); the presence of 

an underlying chronic condition that is 

associated with their ED visit; and the 

nature of any other work-related chronic 

conditions they have experienced. The 

questionnaire was designed to take 30 

minutes to complete. It contains a brief 

introduction that includes the elements 

of informed consent and asks for verbal 

consent to be given. The study has 

received a waiver of written informed 

consent by the NIOSH Human Subjects 

Review Board. The questionnaire 

includes a brief series of questions to 

screen out individuals who were not 

seen in the ED for a work-related injury, 

illness, or exposure; who are younger 

than age 20 or older than age 64; who 

do not speak English or Spanish; or who 

were working as volunteers or day 

laborers when the injury, illness, or 

exposure occurred or was made worse. 

The informed consent procedure and 

screening questions take approximately 

five minutes to complete. 

It is estimated that between 1,500 and 

3,000 interviews will be completed. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time.

Proposed Project 

Comparing the Effectiveness of 

Traditional Evidence-Based Tobacco 

Cessation Interventions to Newer and 

Innovative Interventions Used by 

Comprehensive Cancer Control 

Programs—New—National Center for 

Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion, Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) provides funding and 

technical assistance for tobacco control 

through Tobacco Control Programs 

(TCPs), which offer evidence-based 

cessation interventions to increase 

successful quit attempts. CDC also 

supports Comprehensive Cancer Control 

(CCC) programs, which address cancerrelated interventions from primary 

prevention to treatment and 

survivorship. TCPs and CCC programs 

are based in states, the District of 

Columbia, Tribal organizations, and 

U.S. territories. 

Evidence-based tobacco cessation 

interventions include counseling offered 

through telephone quitlines (QLs) as 

well as Web-based counseling services. 

Mass media (e.g., television, radio, 

print) has been shown to be the most 

important and consistent driver of call 

volume to QLs in some localities, but is 

resource intensive. To date there are no 

comprehensive studies that have 

examined TCP promotional strategies, 

the populations affected by these 

strategies, and their effect on QL and 

Web-based cessation program usage. 

To address this gap in knowledge, 

CDC proposes to conduct a new study 

of state-based TCPs and their client 

populations. The study will consist of 

two components: (1) Quitline 

promotional activities, and (2) cessation 

intervention. The promotional activities 

component involves secondary analysis 

of information already collected by 

TCPs and CCC programs. The cessation 

intervention component involves new 

information collection. 

Quitline Promotional Activities. The 

overall goal of this study component is 

to characterize state-based TCP 

promotional activities in terms of type 

and level of advertising; impact in 

relation to QL call volume; and client 

characteristics. Up to 50 state-based 

TCPs will be asked to participate. 

Existing sources of information will be 

used to minimize burden to 

respondents. Participating states will 

provide CDC with media purchasing 

information related to cessation 

promotional activities and permission to 

extract de-identified QL call volume 

data from the National Quitline Data 

Warehouse (NQDW, OMB No. 0920– 

0856, exp. 7/31/2012). Information will 

be transmitted to CDC on a quarterly 

basis. The estimated burden for each 

electronic transmission is 10 minutes. 

Cessation Intervention. The overall 

goal of this study component is to 

describe relationships among mode of 

cessation service delivery (telephone vs. 

Web); client demographics; and quit 

success in the last 30 days. Participating 

TCPs in up to four states will use 

existing sources of information to 

produce study files containing client 

intake data, i.e., information obtained 

from clients when they request tobacco 

cessation services through a telephone 

Quitline or a Web-based service. TCPs 

will transmit intake information to CDC 

four times per year. The estimated 

burden of each transmission is 15 

minutes. 

CDC also plans to conduct a followup data collection with a total of 8,000 

individuals aged ≥ 18 years who have 

voluntarily agreed to participate in the 

study (4,000 clients who use QL 

services and 4,000 clients who use Webbased services). The 15-minute followup survey will be administered online 

or by telephone. Clients who choose not 

to participate in the study will receive 

regular access to QL or Web-based 

cessation services. 

The results of this study will provide 

TCPs, policy makers, CDC, and others 

with information about the impact of 

promotional activities and the 

comparative effectiveness of traditional 

versus new and innovative cessation 

services. This study is funded through 

the American Reinvestment and 

Recovery Act (ARRA). 

Information will be collected over a 

24-month period. OMB approval is 

requested for two and one-half years to 

permit flexibility in scheduling start and 

stop dates. There are no costs to 

respondents other than their time. The 

total estimated annualized burden hours 

are 1,037.
