Partnerships Activities Form: Partners 

may be asked to complete a brief 

electronic form to provide information 

on each partner activity that they 

complete. The form will collect 

information on information such as the 

type of event, the audience, and key 

highlights; the number of HIV tests 

administered (if any) and the number of 

preliminary positives; the number and 

type of materials distributed. This 

information will allow CDC to know 

what partners are doing to advance HIV 

prevention and education, and how 

CDC can alter their partnership efforts to 

facilitate HIV prevention and education 

in the future. 

The information obtained from the 

proposed study will be used by federal 

policy makers to assess the effectiveness 

of the partnership activities and the 

appropriateness of continued or 

expanded funding of partnership 

projects. 

There is no cost to participants other 

than their time. The total estimated 

annualized burden hours are 5,200.

Proposed Project 

Developing a Self-Management Tool 

for Individuals with Systemic Lupus 

Erythematosus—New—National Center 

for Chronic Disease Preventions and 

Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) 

is an autoimmune disease in which the 

immune system produces antibodies to 

cells within the body leading to 

widespread inflammation and tissue 

damage. SLE has a variety of clinical 

manifestations and can affect joints, 

skin, the brain, lungs, kidneys, and 

blood vessels. 

Effective SLE management depends 

not only upon clinical interventions, but 

also on self-management— those things 

done on a day-to-day basis to manage 

SLE. SLE self-management requires 

gaining essential knowledge, skills, and 

confidence to manage the condition. 

CDC previously launched a two-year 

project called ‘‘Filling a Gap: Creating 

Educational Program, Tools, or 

Materials to Enhance Self-Management 

in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus’’ to 

identify and address the needs of lupus 

patients in practicing effective selfmanagement. The purpose of this 

project is to develop a SLE selfmanagement tool to improve the ability 

of people living with lupus to manage 

their condition. 

The proposed information collection 

will assess a prototype CDC SLE selfmanagement tool that is in development 

to ensure that the tool is usable and 

useful to members of the target 

audience. The tool is expected to be 

comprised of multiple SLE selfmanagement resources that may 

include, but are not limited to: 

Education resources about fatigue 

management, pain management, healthy 

diet, and exercise; symptom trackers; 

medication trackers; appointment 

calendars; resources about 

communication with family, friends, 

and co-workers about SLE; and 

strategies for coping with depression 

and anxiety. 

CDC plans to make the tool available 

in an electronic format (web-based or a 

native mobile application) and will 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 20 / Monday, February 1, 2016 / Notices 5127 

consider making it available as a printed 

resource, depending on the feedback 

obtained during the testing process. 

The information collection will also 

gauge the needs of the target 

audience(s), tool format and delivery 

method(s), and the tool’s clarity, 

relevance, salience and appeal. A series 

of focus groups with women with a 

diagnosis of SLE, and one-on-one 

telephone interviews with men with a 

diagnosis of SLE will be conducted to 

assess the tool. The same discussion 

guide will be used for all information 

collections. 

The estimated burden per response 

for participating in a focus group 

discussion is two hours. The estimated 

burden per response for a discussion 

conducted via telephone interview is 45 

minutes. Respondent burden also 

includes two hours for reviewing the 

prototype CDC SLE Self-management 

Tool in advance of the focus group 

meeting or telephone interview. 

OMB approval is requested for one 

year. Participation is voluntary and 

there are no costs to respondents other 

than their time. 

The total estimated burden hours are 

646.
