DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

National Institutes of Health 

Proposed Data Collection; Comment 

Request; National Physician Survey of 

Practices on Diet, Physical Activity, 

and Weight Control 

SUMMARY: Under the provision of 

section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the National 

Institutes of Health (NIH), National 

Cancer Institute (NCI), has submitted to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request for review and 

approval of the information collection 

listed below. This proposed information 

collection was previously published in 

the Federal Register on June 28, 2007, 

page 43609 and allowed 60-days for 

public comment. One public comment 

was received asking about the 

possibility of doing studies of autism 

rather than the proposed survey. The 

comment was out of the scope of this 

current project. The purpose of this 

notice is to allow an additional 30 days 

for public comment. The National 

Institutes of Health may not conduct or 

sponsor, and the respondent is not 

required to respond to, an information 

collection that has been extended, 

revised, or implemented on or after 

October 1, 1995, unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

Proposed Collection 

Title: Physician Survey of Practices on 

Diet, Physical Activity, and Weight 

Control. 

Type of Information Collection 

Request: NEW. 

Need and Use of Information 

Collection: This study will obtain 

current, national data on primary care 

physicians’ knowledge, attitudes, and 

practices related to diet, physical 

activity, and weight control. Obesity, 

poor diet, and lack of physical activity 

are becoming recognized as major 

public health problems in the United 

States, and have been linked to 

increased risk, adverse prognosis, and 

poor quality of life for cancer and many 

other chronic diseases. The data 

collected in this study will support and 

further NCI work in monitoring and 

evaluating providers’ cancer prevention 

knowledge, attitudes, and practices and 

their impact on pupulation health, as 

well as enable monitoring of progress 

toward major cancer control goals. Data 

from the survey will be used to profile 

existing physician practice, understand 

barriers to counseling and referral, and 

to inform methods for improving the 

utilization of these services for adults 

and children. Two questionnaires, one 

sent to physicians and one sent to their 

practice administrators, will be 

administered by mail or telephone to a 

randomly-selected national sample of 

2,000 physicians belonging to primary 

care specialties. Study participants will 

be 2,000 practicing physicians who are 

family practitioners, general internists, 

pediatricians, and obstetrician/ 

gynecologists and 2,000 practice 

administrators. 

The annual reporting burden is as 

follows: Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 4,000; Estimated Number 

of Responses per Respondent: 1; 

Average Burden Hours Per Response: 

.333; and Estimated Total Annual 

Burden Hours, Requested: 1,332. The 

annualized cost to respondents is 

estimated at: $65,048. There are no 

Capital Costs to report. There are no 

Operating or Maintenance Costs to 

report.

Proposed Project: National 

Methamphetamine Use Prevention 

Initiative—NEW 

Prevention of Methamphetamine 

Abuse grants are authorized under 

section 519E of the Public Health 

Service Act, as amended. This program 

addresses the growing problem of 

methamphetamine abuse and addiction 

by assisting localities to expand 

prevention interventions that are 

effective and evidence-based and/or to 

increase capacity through infrastructure 

development. According to the 2005 

National Survey on Drug Use and 

Health, 10.4 million Americans age 12 

and older had tried methamphetamine 

at least once in their lifetime. In 

addition, the number of 

methamphetamine users who were 

dependent on or abused some kind of 

illicit drug rose significantly from 

164,000 in 2002 to 257,000 in 2005. The 

goal of the Methamphetamine Abuse 

Prevention grants is to intervene 

effectively to prevent, reduce, or delay 

the use and/or spread of 

methamphetamine abuse. 

Proposed Methamphetamine 

Prevention and Abuse grants will focus 

on conducting community-based 

prevention programs targeting those 

populations within the community that 

are most at risk for methamphetamine 

abuse and addiction. In addition, grants 

may be used for assisting local 

government entities to conduct 

appropriate methamphetamine 

prevention activities in rural and urban 

areas that are experiencing increases in 

methamphetamine abuse and addiction. 

This can be documented by local and 

specific epidemiological, health service 

use, judicial and/or environmental data. 

Activities may include: training and 

educating state and local law 

enforcement officials, prevention and 

education officials, members of 

community anti-drug coalitions, and 

parents on the signs of 

methamphetamine abuse and addiction 

and the options for prevention; 

planning, administration, and 

educational activities related to the 

prevention of methamphetamine abuse 

and addiction; monitoring and 

evaluating of methamphetamine 

prevention activities, and reporting and 

disseminating resulting information to 

the public; or conducting and evaluating 

targeted pilot programs. 

The grantees will be collecting data 

on Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) No. 0930–0230 approved 

National Outcomes Measures (NOMs) 

and program specific questions on 

youth and adult methamphetamine use. 

There are two questionnaire forms: one 

for adults ages 18 and older and another 

for youths under the age of 18. The 

adult and youth questionnaires contain 

40 and 42 questions, respectively, with 

the first 12 questions covering the OMB 

approved NOMs questions. The focus 

areas for the adult questionnaires 

comprise attitudes toward tobacco, 

alcohol, and other substances; attitudes 

and experiences; family relationships, 

relationships with those around you; 

future goals; thoughts, beliefs, and 

experiences related to 

methamphetamines; and thoughts on 

possible effects of methamphetamine 

use. The youth survey focus areas 

include: general information; attitudes 

toward tobacco, alcohol, and other 

substances; attitudes and experiences; 

family relationships; school 

experiences; perceived probability to try 

substances; where they receive 

substance abuse information; thoughts, 

beliefs, and experiences relating to 

methamphetamine; effects of 

methamphetamine use; and how 

comfortable they were with answering 

the survey questions. Additional nonVerDate Aug<31>2005 00:43 Aug 31, 2007 Jkt 211001 PO 00000 Frm 00056 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\31AUN1.SGM 31AUN1
