Proposed Project Title: Interim 

Evaluation of the Bright Futures for 

Women’s Health and Wellness 

(BFWHW) Initiative, Emotional 

Wellness Consumer Tools—NEW. 

Purpose: The purpose of this project 

is to design and implement a three-year 

interim evaluation to address initial 

outcomes for the BFWHW emotional 

wellness tools targeted at consumers. 

The project is funded by the Health 

Resources and Services Administrations 

(HRSA), Office of Women’s Health 

(OWH). The evaluation will seek to 

determine (1) the acceptability of the 

tools by the target audiences, (2) 

strategies for ensuring their ongoing use, 

and (3) the outcomes associated with 

the use of these tools in three to four 

selected primary care sites. 

The evaluation team will work with 

HRSA OWH and an Expert Committee 

to identify the questions of interest for 

the evaluation plan and methodology. 

There will be two major components— 

a descriptive/process component 

focusing on the design and 

implementation of the program’s 

intervention and an impact component 

focusing on the preliminary outcomes of 

the intervention on the target audiences 

and their behavioral intentions. 

Respondents: 

Female consumers (adolescents 

between the ages of 13 and 17 and 

adults 18 and older) who receive 

services from primary care sites or 

community service organizations will 

receive a written survey on site at the 

time of service. 

Distributors of the Consumer Tools 

(e.g., healthcare providers, program 

staff, and community stakeholders/ 

organizations) from the three to four 

selected HRSA-funded program sites 

will respond to a web-based written 

survey. 

Female consumers (adolescents 

between the ages of 13 and 17 and 

adults 18 and older) who receive 

services from primary care sites or 

community service organizations will be 

invited to participate in a focus group.

Proposed Project 

The National Violent Death Reporting 

System (NVDRS) OMB# 0920–0607— 

Revision—National Center for Injury 

Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Violence is an important public 

health problem. In the United States, 

homicide and suicide are the second 

and third leading causes of death, 

respectively, in the 1–34 year old age 

group. Unfortunately, public health 

agencies do not know much more about 

the problem than the numbers and the 

sex, race, and age of the victims, all 

information obtainable from the 

standard death certificate. Death 

certificates, however, carry no 

information about key facts necessary 

for prevention such as the relationship 

of the victim and suspect and the 

circumstances of the deaths, thereby 

making it impossible to discern 

anything but the gross contours of the 

problem. Furthermore, death certificates 

are typically available 20 months after 

the completion of a single calendar year. 

Official publications of national violent 

death rates, e.g. those in Morbidity and 

Mortality Weekly Report, rarely use data 

that is less than two years old. Public 

health interventions aimed at a moving 

target last seen two years ago may well 

miss the mark. 

Local and Federal criminal justice 

agencies such as the Federal Bureau of 

Investigation (FBI) provide slightly more 

information about homicides, but they 

do not routinely collect standardized 

data about suicides, which are in fact 

much more common than homicides. 

The FBI ́s Supplemental Homicide 

Report (SHRs) does collect basic 

information about the victim-suspect 

relationship and circumstances related 

to the homicide. SHRs do not link 

violent deaths that are part of one 

incident such as homicide-suicides. It 

also is a voluntary system in which 

some 10–20 percent of police 

departments nationwide do not 

participate. The FBI ́s National Incident 

Based Reporting System (NIBRS) 

provides slightly more information than 

SHRs, but it covers less of the country 

than SHRs. NIBRS also only provides 

data regarding homicides. Also, the 

Bureau of Justice Statistics Reports does 

not use data that is less than two years 

old. 

CDC therefore proposes to continue a 

state-based surveillance system for 

violent deaths that will provide more 

detailed and timely information. It taps 

into the case records held by medical 

examiners/coroners, police, and crime 

labs. Data is collected centrally by each 

state in the system, stripped of 

identifiers, and then sent to the CDC. 

Information is collected from these 

records about the characteristics of the 

victims and suspects, the circumstances 

of the deaths, and the weapons 

involved. States use standardized data 

elements and software designed by CDC. 

Ultimately, this information will guide 

states in designing programs that reduce 

multiple forms of violence. 

Neither victim families nor suspects 

are contacted to collect this information. 

It all comes from existing records and is 

collected by state health department 

staff or their subcontractors. Health 

departments incur an average of 2.5 

hours per death in identifying the 

deaths from death certificates, 

contacting the police and medical 

examiners to get copies of or to view the 

relevant records, abstracting all the 

records, various data processing tasks, 

various administrative tasks, data 

utilization, training, communications, 

etc. 

This revision is a request to allow 10 

new state health departments to be 

added to the currently funded 17, if 

funding becomes available. This may 

bring the total to 27 by the year 2012.
