Proposed Project 

National Youth Tobacco Surveys 

(NYTS) 2015–2017—Revision—National 

Center for Chronic Disease Prevention 

and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) has periodically 

collected information about tobacco use 

among adolescents since 2004 (National 

Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) 2004, 

2006, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014; 

OMB no. 0920–0621, exp. 1/31/2015). 

At present, the NYTS is the most 

comprehensive source of nationally 

representative tobacco data among 

students in grades 9–12, and the only 

source of such data for students in 

grades 6–8. The NYTS has provided 

national estimates of tobacco use 

behaviors, information about exposure 

to pro- and anti-tobacco influences, and 

information about racial and ethnic 

disparities in tobacco-related topics. 

Information collected through the NYTS 

is used to identify trends over time, to 

inform the development of tobacco 

cessation programs for youth, and to 

evaluate the effectiveness of existing 

interventions and programs. 

CDC is requesting OMB approval to 

conduct additional cycles of the NYTS 

in the spring of 2015, 2016, and 2017. 

The survey will be conducted among 

nationally representative samples of 

students attending public and private 

schools in grades 6–12, and will be 

administered to students as an optically 

scannable booklet of multiple-choice 

questions. Information supporting the 

NYTS also will be collected from 

state-, district-, and school-level 

administrators and teachers. During the 

2015–2017 timeframe, a number of 

changes will be incorporated that reflect 

CDC’s ongoing collaboration with FDA 

and the need to measure progress 

toward meeting strategic goals 

established by the Family Smoking 

Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. 

The 2015 survey will examine the 

following topics: Use of cigarettes, 

smokeless tobacco, cigars, pipes, bidis, 

snus, hookahs, electronic vapor 

products, and dissolvable tobacco 

products; knowledge and attitudes; 

media and advertising; access to tobacco 

products; secondhand smoke exposure; 

and cessation. Information collection 

will occur annually. 

Results of the NYTS will continue to 

be used for public health program 

planning and evaluation. Information 

collected through the NYTS is also 

expected to provide multiple measures 

and data for monitoring progress on 

multiple tobacco-related objectives for 

Healthy People 2020. 

OMB approval is requested for three 

years. Participation is voluntary and the 

total estimated annualized burden hours 

are 15,504. There are no costs to 

respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project 

WISEWOMAN National Program 

Evaluation—New—National Center for 

Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The CDC has supported the 

WISEWOMAN program (Well-Integrated 

Screening and Evaluation for Women 

Across the Nation) since 1995. The 

WISEWOMAN program is designed to 

serve low-income women ages 40–64 

who have elevated risk factors for 

cardiovascular disease (CVD) and have 

no health insurance, or are 

underinsured for medical and 

preventive care services. Through the 

WISEWOMAN program, women have 

access to screening services for selected 

CVD risk factors such as elevated blood 

cholesterol, hypertension, and abnormal 

blood glucose levels; referrals to 

lifestyle programs; and referrals to 

medical care. WISEWOMAN 

participants must be co-enrolled in the 

CDC-sponsored National Breast and 

Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program 

(NBCCEDP). 

The WISEWOMAN program is 

administered through cooperative 

agreements with state, territorial, or 

tribal health departments. At present, 

approximately two-thirds of program 

funding is provided by CDC with the 

other one-third supplied by the state, 

territory, or tribal organization. Each 

WISEWOMAN awardee submits to CDC 

an annual progress report that describes 

program objectives and activities, and 

semi-annual data reports (known as 

minimum data elements, or MDE) on 

the screening, assessment, and lifestyle 

program services offered to women who 

participate in the program (see 

WISEWOMAN Reporting System, OMB 

No. 0920–0612, exp. 12/31/2016). 

Participant-level MDE are de-identified 

prior to transmission to CDC. 

In 2013, CDC released the fourth 

funding opportunity announcement 

(FOA) for the WISEWOMAN program 

(DP13–1302), which resulted in fouryear cooperative agreements with 22 

state, territorial, and tribal health 

departments, including 5 new and 17 

continuing awardees from the previous 

FOA. Key program elements were 

retained (e.g., provision of screening 

services, promotion of healthy lifestyle 

behaviors, and linkage to community 

resources), but a number of changes 

were incorporated into the program at 

that time due to shifts in populations, 

systems, and community needs. The 

current FOA reflects increased emphasis 

on improving access to clinical systems 

of care and increased emphasis on 

leveraging existing resources in the 

community. Lifestyle interventions have 

also been reframed to include lifestyle 

programs and health coaching sessions, 

and MDE have been updated to capture 

information about risk reduction 

counseling and participants’ readiness 

to change. The current cooperative 

agreement also stresses monitoring and 

performance evaluation as key program 

dimensions. Additionally, more 

information is needed to augment that 

from previous evaluation efforts. 

CDC seeks to conduct a one-time, 

multi-component evaluation to assess 

the effectiveness of the program on 

individual-, organizational-, and 

community-level outcomes. The indepth assessment is designed to 

complement the routine progress and 

MDE information already being 

collected from WISEWOMAN program 

awardees. The new data collection will 

focus on obtaining qualitative and
