Proposed Project

    Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) 
Evaluation--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC). The REACH 2010 Demonstration Program is a part of the Department 
of Health and Human Services' response to the President's Race 
Initiative and to the Healthy People 2010 goal to eliminate disparities 
in the health status of racial and ethnic minorities. The purpose of 
REACH 2010 is to demonstrate that adequately funded community-based 
programs which are designed and led by the communities they serve can 
reduce health disparities in infant mortality, deficits in breast and 
cervical cancer screening and management, cardiovascular diseases, 
diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and deficits in childhood and adult immunizations. 
The communities served by REACH 2010 include: African American, 
American Indian, Hispanic American, Asian American, and Pacific 
Islander. Thirty-two communities were funded in Phase I to construct 
Community Action Plans (CAP). In Phase II, seventeen of those 
communities will receive continued funding to implement their CAP.
    As part of the President's Race Initiative, it is imperative that 
REACH 2010 demonstrate success in reducing health disparities among 
racial and ethnic minority populations. Toward that end, it is of 
critical importance that CDC collect uniform survey data from each of 
the seventeen communities funded for the Phase II REACH 2010 
Demonstration Program. The same survey will be conducted in each 
community; it will contain questions that are standard public health 
performance measures for each health priority area. Surveys will be 
administered by either telephone or household interview. These surveys 
will be administered annually for four years using a different sample 
from each community.
    The total annualized burden hours for this project is 5358 hours.
