Proposed Collection; Comment

Request; The Family Health Survey

(Validation of a Family History of

Cancer Questionnaire for Risk Factor

Surveillance)

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

for opportunity for public comment on

proposed data collection projects, the

National Cancer Institute (NCI), the

National Institutes of Health (NIH) will

publish periodic summaries of proposed

projects to be submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

review and approval.

Proposed Collection

Title The Family Health Survey

(Validation of a Family History of

Cancer Questionnaire for Risk Factor

Surveillance). Type of Information

Collection Request: New. Need and Use

of Information Collection: In this

methologic pilot study, the NCI will

develop a family history of cancer

questionnaire for use in cancer risk

factor surveillance, and will evaluate

how accurately individuals in the

general population can report major

cancers occurring in their immediate

and extended family. This study is

needed because there are currently no

validated questionnaires with which to

collect comprehensive data for assessing

the burden of family history of cancer in

the U.S. population, and no general

population estimates of reporting error

for the major cancers that affect families.

The results on reporting accuracy will

be used to determine whether the

quality of data is sufficient to justify

conducting a comprehensive national

prevalence study of family history of

cancer. The questionnaire will be

administered in a telephone survey of

adults, age 25 to 64 years who will be

randomly selected from households in

Connecticut. Respondents will be asked

to report about family structure and

cancer diagnoses occurring in their first

and second degree relatives. Positive

and negative reports of five major cancer

sites (i.e. breast, prostate, colorectal,

lung, and ovarian cancers) will be

validated for approximately four

relatives per respondent through data

linkage to state and federal health

registries or by review of death

certificates and medical records. Living

relatives and next-of-kin of deceased

relatives may be interviewed as part of

the validation process. Information

about the accuracy of reports and factors

associated with reporting error will help

to evaluate the feasibility of conducting

surveys on family history of cancer.

Frequency of Response: One-time study.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households. Type of Respondents:

Adults, age 25 to 64, who reside in the

state of Connecticut and their selected

adult relatives over age 25 or the
