SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

OHRP, Office of Public Health and 

Science, is announcing the availability 

of a guidance document entitled, 

‘‘Guidance on the Genetic Information 

Nondiscrimination Act: Implications for 

Investigators and Institutional Review 

Boards.’’ The guidance document 

provides OHRP’s first formal guidance 

on this topic. The document applies to 

non-exempt human subjects research 

conducted or supported by HHS and is 

intended primarily for investigators who 

conduct, and IRBs that review, genetic 

research. 

The guidance document provides 

some general background information 

regarding GINA and discusses some of 

the implications of GINA with respect to 

the criteria for IRB approval of research 

and the requirements for obtaining 

informed consent under the HHS 

regulations for the protection of human 

subjects (45 CFR part 46). 

II. Electronic Access 

Persons with access to the Internet 

may obtain the guidance document on 

OHRP’s Web site at http://www.hhs.gov/ 

ohrp/humansubjects/guidance/ 

gina.html and http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/ 

humansubjects/guidance/gina.pdf. 

III. Request for Comments 

Interested persons may submit 

comments regarding this guidance 

document to OHRP at any time. Please 

see the ADDRESSES section for 

information on where to submit written 

comments.

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Comment Request 

Proposed Projects 

Title: Cross-Site Evaluation of the 

Infant Adoption Awareness Training 

Program for Projects Initially Funded in 

Fiscal Year 2006. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF), Children’s 

Bureau (CB), will conduct the Cross-Site 

Evaluation of the Infant Adoption 

Awareness Training Program (IAATP). 

Title XII, Subtitle A, of the Children’s 

Health Act of 2000 (CHA) authorizes the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services to make Infant Adoption 

Awareness Training grants available to 

national, regional, and local adoption 

organizations for the purposes of 

developing and implementing programs 

that train the staff of public and nonprofit private health service 

organizations to provide adoption 

information and referrals to pregnant 

women on an equal basis with all other 

courses of action included in nondirective counseling of pregnant 

women. Participants in the training 

include individuals who provide 

pregnancy or adoption information and 

those who will provide such services 

after receiving the training, with Title X 

(relating to voluntary family planning 

projects), Section 330 (relating to 

community health centers, migrant 

health centers, and centers serving 

homeless individuals and residents of 

public housing), and CHA-funded 

school-based health centers, receiving 

priority to receive the training. A total 

of six organizations were awarded 

IAATP funding in 2006. 

Section 1201(a)(2)(A) of the IAATP 

legislation requires grantees to develop 

and deliver trainings that are consistent 

with the Best Practice Guidelines for 

Infant Adoption Awareness Training. 

The IAATP guidelines address training 

goals, basic skills, curriculum and 

training structure. A complete 

description of the guidelines is available 

at http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/ 

programs_fund/discretionary/iaatp.htm. 

In addition, grantees are required to 

conduct local evaluation of program 

outcomes and participate in the national 

evaluation of the extent to which IAATP 

training objectives are met. The Infant 

Adoption Awareness Training Program: 

Trainee Survey is the primary data 

collection instrument for the national 

cross-site evaluation. Respondents will 

complete the survey prior to receiving 

training and approximately 90 days after 

the training to assess the extent to 

which trainees demonstrate sustained 

gains in their knowledge about 

adoption, and to determine the impact 

of the training on their subsequent work 

with pregnant women. 

1. Do health care workers who 

participate in the IAATP training: 

Demonstrate enhanced knowledge, 

attitudes, skills, and behaviors with 

respect to adoption counseling 

following completion of the program? 

Provide adoption information to 

pregnant women on an equal basis with 

other pregnancy planning options? 

Demonstrate enhanced awareness of 

community adoption-related resources 

and refer expectant mothers to them as 

needed? 

2. Are trainees more confident about 

discussing all three pregnancy planning 

options (parenting, abortion, and 

adoption) in a non-directive counseling 

style than they were prior to 

participating in the training? Cross-site 

evaluation data will be collected on an 

annual basis throughout the five-year 

funding period. Pre-test and follow-up 

versions of the survey are expected to 

require approximately 10 to 15 minutes 

to complete. Estimated response time 

for the follow-up survey includes time 

for respondents to access the Web-based 

survey, complete the survey online, and 

electronically submit the survey. 

Respondents will not need to 

implement a recordkeeping system or 

compile source data in order to 

complete the survey. Where possible, 

fields in the follow-up version of the 

survey will be pre-filled with static data 

from the respondents pre-test (e.g., 

demographics, agency type) in order to 

further expedite completion of the 

survey and minimize respondent 

burden. 

Respondents: Infant Adoption 

Awareness Program Trainees.

Proposed Project 

A Study of Primary and Secondary 

Prevention Behaviors Practiced Among 

Five-Year Survivors of Colorectal 

Cancer—New—National Center for 

Chronic Disease Prevention and Control 

(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third 

most prevalent cancer and the second 

leading cause of cancer death in both 

men and women in the United States. In 

2004, there were an estimated 145,083 

new cases of colorectal cancer 

diagnosed and 53,580 deaths. However, 

the five-year relative survival rates of 

patients diagnosed with CRC have been 

steadily increasing since 1975 and there 

are now over one million CRC survivors 

in the U.S. 

Despite improved survival rates, CRC 

survivors are at an elevated risk for 

cancer recurrence, second primary 

cancers, and other health problems after 

being treated for cancer. Research 

evidence suggests that these elevated 

risks can be mitigated by healthy 

lifestyle practices and by undergoing 

regular medical follow-up and cancer 

screenings, however, little is known 

about the factors that motivate or hinder 

the adoption of recommended cancer 

prevention and screening behaviors in 

this population. 

CDC proposes to conduct a survey of 

five-year CRC survivors to collect 

information about knowledge, attitudes, 

psychosocial factors, health status and 

behaviors, and utilization of health care 

services including screening services. 

Potential survey respondents will be 

identified through California Cancer 

Registry records. Each physician 

associated with one or more CRC 

patients will be responsible for 

reviewing a customized list of names to 

identify patients who should not be 

contacted for recruitment into the study. 

Following receipt of physician 

permission to contact potential 

participants, and receipt of participant 

consent, 1,000 respondents will 

complete a survey of health behaviors. 

Approximately 900 respondents are 

expected to complete a selfadministered survey that will be 

delivered and returned by mail, and 100 

respondents are expected to complete 

the survey by computer-assisted 

telephone interview, in response to a 

follow-up call from study staff. OMB 

clearance is being requested for one year 

of data collection. 

Findings from this study will help 

guide future policies, programs, and 

interventions developed to enhance and 

improve the long-term health and well 

being of cancer survivors. 

There are no costs to respondents 

except the time to complete the survey. 

The total estimated burden hours are 

1,095.
