Proposed Project 

Case Studies of Communities and 

States Funded under Community 

Activities under the Communities 

Putting Prevention to Work Initiative— 

New—National Center for Chronic 

Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Chronic diseases such as cancer, heart 

disease, and diabetes are among the 

leading causes of death and disability in 

the United States, but are among the 

most preventable health problems. 

Adopting healthy behaviors such as 

eating nutritious foods, being physically 

active and avoiding tobacco use can 

prevent or control the devastating 

effects of these diseases. 

The American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) 

allotted $650 million to the Department 

of Health and Human Services (HHS) to 

support evidence-based prevention and 

wellness strategies. The cornerstone of 

the initiative is the Communities 

Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) 

Community Program, administered by 

the Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). Through this 

program, all States and territories, and 

44 communities, have received 

cooperative agreement funding to 

implement evidence-based community 

approaches to chronic disease 

prevention over a 24-month period. In 

September 2010, the initiative was 

expanded to include additional 

communities funded through a $34 

million allotment from the Affordable 

Care Act. The long-term goals of the 

CPPW are to modify the environmental 

determinants of risk factors for chronic 

diseases, prevent or delay chronic 

diseases, promote wellness in children 

and adults, and provide positive, 

sustainable health change in 

communities. 

Grantees are working with partners 

such as local and State health 

departments and agencies, health 

centers, schools, businesses, community 

and faith-based organizations, academic 

institutions, health care and mental 

health organizations, and others to 

create policies, systems, and 

environments that promote 

improvements in physical activity and 

nutrition, and decrease the prevalence 

of obesity and tobacco use. Each grantee 

has selected strategies for implementing 

change from five categories involving 

media, access, price, point of purchase 

decision, and support services 

(MAPPS). These approaches were 

selected from a reference set of 

evidence-based strategies provided by 

CDC. 

CDC proposes to collect information 

from a subset of CPPW States and 

communities to gain insight into the 

factors that facilitate or hinder 

implementation of the MAPPS strategies 

and effective creation of the desired 

policy, system, and environmental 

changes. Intensive case studies will be 

conducted with 24 sites: Six ARRAfunded CPPW States, 15 ARRA-funded 

CPPW communities, and three 

communities funded by the Affordable 

Care Act. The case study sites will be 

selected to include a mix of State or 

community characteristics related to 

population density, geographic region, 

and targeted population. 

Information will be collected during 

personal interviews with an average of 

20 respondents at each case study site. 

On average, each site’s respondents will 

consist of the program director and one 

additional member of the site 

management team; four additional 

CPPW staff members; a mix of seven 

Community Partners, Leadership Team 

Members and implementers; and a mix 

of seven policy- and decision-makers. 

To obtain a variety of perspectives, 

respondents will include 

representatives of the private sector as 

well as representatives from the State 

and local government sector. The length 

of the interview and the questions asked 

will vary according to the type of 

respondent being interviewed. Three 

Interview Guide instruments have been 

developed to facilitate the case study 

interviews. 

The interview scheduling process is 

also estimated to entail six hours of 

burden per site. Each site’s program 

director will take about one hour to 

complete an Interview Planning Tool, 

and a CPPW staff member will devote 

approximately five hours to 

coordinating interviews and completing 

the final Worksheet for Scheduling Site 

Visit Interviews. 

Participation is required for each case 

study site, however, participation in the 

interviews will be voluntary for 

individual respondents. 

The case study information to be 

collected will assist the Federal 

government, State and local 

governments, and communities in 

planning future strategies designed to 

promote sustainable policy, systems and 

environmental changes that improve 

public health. As a result of the CPPW 

program, powerful models of success 

are expected to emerge that can be 

replicated in other States and 

communities. 

OMB approval is requested for two 

years. Information will be collected at 

the beginning of the CPPW funding 

period and again approximately 18 

months post-award. The total estimated 

annualized burden to respondents is 

678 hours. There are no costs to 

respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project 

The Outcomes Data Collection of the 

National Prevention Information 

Network, (OMB No. 0920–0768 Exp: 3/ 

31/2011)—Extension with change— 

National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral 

Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention 

(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

NCHHSTP has the primary 

responsibility within the CDC and the 

U.S. Public Health Service for the 

prevention and control of HIV infection, 

viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted 

diseases (STDs), and tuberculosis (TB), 

as well as for community-based HIV 

prevention activities, syphilis, and TB 

elimination programs. NPIN serves as 

the U.S. reference, referral, and 

distribution service for information on 

HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and 

TB, supporting NCHHSTP’s mission to 

link Americans to prevention, 

education, and care services. NPIN is a 

critical member of the network of 

government agencies, community 

organizations, businesses, health 

professionals, educators, and human 

services providers that educate the 

American public about the grave threat 

to public health posed by HIV/AIDS, 

viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB. NPIN 

provides the most comprehensive listing 

of HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STD, and 

TB resources and services for 

prevention partners and the American 

public throughout the country and 

makes it available on the NPIN Web site. 

More than 29 million hits to the Web 

site are recorded annually. 

To accomplish CDC’s goal of 

consistently improving NPIN’s Web site, 

and NPIN’s other products and services, 

and meet the ever-growing needs of the 

the prevention professionals, prevention 

partners, and the general public, it is 

necessary to collect feedback from 

visitors to the NPIN Web site and the 

users of NPIN’s products and services 

on an on-going basis. Every effort has 

been made to minimize the burden on 

prevention professionals and the general 

public. 

This request is for 3-years. The 

evaluation will be accomplished by 

survey data collection from two 

groups—users of the NPIN Web site and 

users of NPIN products and services. 

Respondents for each survey will 

include representatives from 

government agencies, community-based 

organizations, advocacy organizations, 

various other organizations involved in 

the prevention and/or treatment of HIV/ 

AIDS, STDs, TB, and/or viral hepatitis, 

and the general public. The NPIN Web 

site user survey will be conducted on an 

ongoing basis via the Web site and a 

blast e-mail reminder will be sent out 

annually. The NPIN products and 

services user survey will be conducted 

on a bi-annual basis with a blast e-mail 

sent out every 6 months. When 

appropriate, NPIN will distribute the 

surveys at conferences and via social 

networks. Some of the NPIN Web site 

user surveys and the NPIN products and 

services surveys will be conducted over 

the phone as needed, which will be kept 

to an absolute minimum. 

The information collected from the 

surveys is not intended to provide 

statistical data for publication. The 

purpose of this activity is solely to 

obtain user feedback that will help 

identify opportunities to improve the 

services and products provided to the 

public by NPIN and to ultimately allow 

NPIN to fulfill its mission. Approval of 

this information collection request will 

allow PIN to acquire accurate, up-todate information from users of the NPIN 

Web site, and other products and 

services on a regular basis and in a 

timely manner. This data collection will 

also help the NPIN team to identify the 

service needs of NPIN users and 

implement new features to meet those 

needs. The data collected will help to
