in this country have the disorder. 

Asthma accounts for 13.3 million health 

care visits and more than 3,400 deaths 

per year. Except for a few cases linked 

to occupational exposures, the causes of 

asthma remain unknown, and there 

exists no cure. In the absence of means 

to eliminate the disorder, treatment to 

minimize the frequency and intensity of 

asthmatic attacks is of paramount 

importance and patients must take 

action at appropriate times. Several 

treatment tools are available, including 

the use of corticosteroids and control of 

exposure to allergens and irritants. 

Thus, the education provided by health 

care providers to asthmatic patients 

forms a critical link in efforts to control 

asthma. 

Anecdotal evidence suggests that 

there is substantial variability, in type 

and amount, in patient education. Some 

causes of this are suspected: Billing 

codes for asthma education are not 

universally present and the degree of 

health literacy among patients varies 

and is likely not universally sufficient. 

Nevertheless, in large part, the factors 

influencing asthma education by health 

care providers are unknown. To help 

address this situation, the Air Pollution 

and Respiratory Health Branch of CDC 

wishes to conduct a study to identify 

barriers to, and facilitators of, asthma 

education among health care providers. 

The target audiences for the study are 

primary care physicians who routinely 

provide an initial diagnosis of asthma 

and nurses who routinely provide 

asthma education to patients. The 

overall objectives of this study are to 

explore practices, barriers, and 

facilitators regarding provisions of 

control education to people diagnosed 

with asthma and to explore the 

practices, barriers, and facilitators to 

routine development and use of written 

asthma action plans. 

The target audiences for the study are 

physicians and nurses. Up to eight 

physicians will be selected for 

individual 30-minute interviews per 

city. A total of three cities will be 

visited. 

Data from the nurses will be collected 

by means of a 60-minute focus group 

session. Up to four participants will be 

selected for each focus group, and a 

total of two focus groups will be held in 

each city. A total of three cities will be 

visited. 

There is no cost to the physicians and 

the nurses except their time.

Title: National Medical Support 

Notice—NPRM. 

OMB No.: 0970–0222. 

Description: The information 

collected by State IV–D Child Support 

Enforcement agencies is used to 

complete the National Medical Support 

Notice NMSN), which is sent to 

employers of employee/obligors and 

used as a means of enforcing the 

healthcare coverage provision in a child 

support order. Primarily, the 

information the State Child Support 

enforcement agencies use to complete 

the NMSN is information regarding 

appropriate persons, which is necessary 

for the enrollment of the child in 

employment-related health care 

coverage, such as the employee/obligors 

name, address, and Social Security 

Number; the employer’s name and 

address; the name and address of the 

alternate recipient (child); and the 

custodial parent’s name and address. 

The employer forwards the second part 

of the NMSN to the group health plan 

administrator, which contains the same 

individual identifying information. The 

plan administrator requires this 

information to determine whether to 

enroll the alternate recipient in the 

group health plan. If necessary, the 

employer also initiates withholding 

from the employee’s wages for the 

purpose of paying premiums to the 

group health plan for enrollment of the 

child. 

Respondents: State and Territory 

agencies administering the child 

Support Enforcement program.

Proposed Project 

Behavioral Assessment Component of 

the Behavioral Assessment and Rapid 

Testing (BART) Project—New—National 

Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, 

STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

This Behavioral Assessment and 

Rapid Testing project involves 

conducting behavioral assessments and 

rapid HIV testing at a variety of events 

serving groups at high risk for acquiring 

or transmitting HIV infection. 

Behavioral assessments will be 

conducted using one protocol and one 

research agenda but at events serving 

different minority and hard-to-reach 

populations. This project will address 

the increasing rates of HIV infection 

among African Americans (AAs) and 

men who have sex with men as well as 

the need for early detection and linkage 

to health care for HIV-infected persons. 

The behavioral assessment component 

will provide the opportunity to describe 

the risk profiles and prevalence of 

unrecognized infection among 

individuals reachable for HIV 

counseling and testing at these events. 

Collected data will be used to develop 

risk reduction interventions that are 

appropriate for the attendees of future 

events that attract persons who may be 

at high risk for HIV infection. 

The purpose of the proposed data 

collection is to collect behavioral data at 

selected public events serving specific 

high-risk populations and to increase 

the proportion of at-risk persons who 

are aware of their HIV status. This 

project seeks to improve HIV prevention 

by collecting information from persons 

who do not access HIV testing in fixed 

testing venues or do not test as 

frequently as is recommended. The 

behavioral assessment component of the 

project addresses the need for increased 

behavioral data among some high-risk 

groups that are more difficult to access 

or represent increasingly greater 

proportions of the HIV epidemic. 

A convenience sample will be used to 

select attendees at (1) Gay Pride; (2) 

Minority Gay Pride; (3) black spring 

break; and (4) cultural and social events 

attracting large numbers of African 

Americans. 

Trained interviewers will select and 

approach event attendees. A screener 

questionnaire will be used to determine 

participation eligibility and obtain oral 

consent. Approximately 7,000 

individuals will be approached and 

screened (through a 2-minute interview) 

for eligibility to participate each year. 

Approximately 5,600 individuals are 

expected to be eligible and participate 

in the 5- to 15-minute behavioral 

assessment interview each year. There is 

no cost to respondents other than their 

time. The estimated annual burden is 

1,633 hours.
