training, is based on the TeamSTEPPS 

2.0 instructional materials and will be 

delivered online to 3,000 participants. 

The training will cover the core 

TeamSTEPPS tools and strategies, 

coaching, organizational change, and 

implementation science. 

2. TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online PostTraining Survey. This online instrument 

will be administered to all participants 

who complete the TeamSTEPPS 2.0 

Online Master Training. The survey will 

be administered 6 months after 

participants complete the training 

program. 

This data collection is for the purpose 

of conducting an evaluation of the 

TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer 

program which was last approved by 

OMB on November 14, 2014 (OMB 

Control Number is 0935–0224), and will 

expire November 30, 2017. The 

evaluation is primarily formative in 

nature as AHRQ seeks information to 

improve the delivery of the training. 

This is a new data collection for the 

purpose of conducting an evaluation of 

TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer 

program. The evaluation will be 

primarily formative in nature as AHRQ 

seeks information to improve the 

delivery of the training. 

The OMB Control Number for the 

MEPS–HC and MPC is 0935–0118, 

which was last approved by OMB on 

December 20, 2012, and will expire on 

December 31, 2015. 

To conduct the evaluation, the 

TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Post-Training 

Survey will be administered to all 

individuals who completed the 

TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer 

program, 6 months after completing 

training. The purpose of the survey is to 

assess the degree to which participants 

felt prepared by the training and what 

they did to implement TeamSTEPPS. 

Specifically, participants will be asked 

about their reasons for participating in 

the program; the degree to which they 

feel the training prepared them to train 

others in and use TeamSTEPPS; what 

tools they have implemented in their 

organizations; and resulting changes 

they have observed in the delivery of 

care. 

Estimated Annual Respondent Burden 

Exhibit 1 shows the estimated 

annualized burden hours for the 

respondent’s time to participate in the 

study. The TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online 

Post-Training Survey will be completed

Proposed Project 

Backyard Integrated Tick Management 

Project—Existing Collection in Use 

without an OMB Number—National 

Center for Emerging and Zoonotic 

Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The combined number of confirmed 

and probable Lyme disease cases has 

exceeded 30,000 in all years since 2008, 

and recent estimates suggest that the 

true number of Lyme disease cases may 

be 10-fold higher. There is no Lyme 

disease vaccine for use in humans and 

prevention of infection is therefore 

completely reliant on personal 

protective measures (avoiding tick 

habitat, use of repellent, tick checks or 

prompt tick removal, etc.), and methods 

to suppress vector ticks in the 

environment. 

The primary goal of this project is to 

evaluate the effectiveness of specific 

tick/pathogen control methods used on 

single versus multiple adjacent 

properties on the risk of human 

exposure to ticks. The secondary goal is 

to better understand human landscape 

use patterns and tick exposure 

locations. The project was initiated in 

direct response to knowledge gaps, 

identified by CDC Subject Matter 

Experts, for the use of integrated tick 

vector/rodent reservoir management to 

reduce human risk of exposure to Ixodes 

scapularis ticks, the sole vector of Lyme 

disease in the Northeast. 

Resulting data is intended to be used 

to provide suggestions for improving 

tick/pathogen control methods used in 

the environment. 

Information will be collected, under 

protocols approved by the Institutional 

Review Boards (IRBs) at Western 

Connecticut State University (WCSU) 

and the University of Rhode Island 

(URI), from inhabitants of residential 

properties to (i) compare the 

effectiveness of an integrated tick 

management approach at single-treated 

residential properties vs. contiguouslytreated residential properties to reduce 

human tick bites, and (ii) increase the 

understanding of where people 

encounter ticks, both near their homes 

and in other outdoor settings. 

Another potential positive outcome of 

the information collection is more 

effective targeting of tick control efforts 

to high-risk areas, minimizing pesticide 

use. Not collecting the information 

would lead to inadequate evaluation of 

the implemented integrated tick 

management program (solely focusing 

on host-seeking ticks collected from the 

vegetation), as well as the unacceptable 

status quo for detailed knowledge of 

where people encounter ticks within 

their residential properties and on the 

residential properties versus elsewhere. 

Information will be collected by 

WCSU and URI researchers from 

inhabitants (adults and children) of 

participating residential properties 

(freestanding homes with tick habitat on 

the property) located in Connecticut and 

Rhode Island. Consenting participants 

will complete one introductory survey 

by telephone, projected to last no more 

than 15 minutes. In May–August of 

Years 1–4, participants will also 

complete an emailed monthly tick 

encounter survey about the number of 

ticks found on each member of the 

household and each household 

member’s tick-borne disease status, 

projected to take no more than 10 

minutes per month to complete. An 

end-of-season survey will also be 

administered in March/April each year, 

projected to take no more than 10 

minutes to complete. 

In addition, participants will be asked 

to record location of daily activity on 

behalf of themselves and household 

members each day over the first week of 

June in a single year via emailed daily 

surveys, projected to take 70 minutes 

over the week of participation. Lastly, 

an end-of-study survey will be 

administered in September 2020, 

projected to take no more than 15 

minutes. In total, we expect 

approximately two hours or less of total 

time spent on surveys by consented 

participants in each year of the study. 

All survey instruments have also been 

approved by the IRBs at WCSU and URI. 

The collection of information is 

conducted by WCSU, and its 

subcontractor, URI, as part of a 

Cooperative Agreement with the CDC 

(1U01CK0004912–01). The Cooperative 

Agreement was established based on 

WCSU competing successfully for CDC 

RFA–CK–16–002 (Spatially Scalable 

Integrated Tick Vector/Rodent Reservoir 

Management to Reduce Human Risk of 

Exposure to Ixodes scapularis Ticks 

Infected with Lyme Disease 

Spirochetes). 

This study is authorized by Section 

301 of the Public Health Service Act (42 

U.S.C. 241). 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than the time to participate. The total 

estimated annual burden hours are 557.

Proposed Project 

Zika Postpartum Emergency Response 

Survey (ZPER), Puerto Rico, 2017— 

New—National Center for Chronic 

Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

In December 2015, the Puerto Rico 

Department of Health (PRDH) reported 

the first locally acquired (index) case of 

Zika virus disease in the United States. 

Since then, 38,733 cases have been 

confirmed in Puerto Rico, including 

3,076 among pregnant women. Because 

the most common mosquito vector of 

Zika virus, Aedes aegypti, is present 

throughout Puerto Rico, Zika virus 

transmission is ongoing. The island has 

been designated at the highest level of 

risk according to a 3-tiered Zika virus 

infection risk scale developed by CDC’s 

Emergency Operations Center. 

While pregnant women do not differ 

from the general population in terms of 

susceptibility to Zika virus infection or 

severity of disease, they are at risk for 

adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes 

associated with Zika virus infection 

during pregnancy. After review of the 

available evidence, CDC concluded that 

Zika virus infection during pregnancy is 

a cause of microcephaly and other brain 

defects. 

Given the adverse pregnancy and 

birth outcomes associated with Zika 

virus infection during pregnancy, it is 

more important than ever to understand 

the Zika-related concerns of pregnant 

women, interactions regarding Zika 

between pregnant women and their 

health care providers, sources of 

information that pregnant women 

consult regarding Zika virus, and use of 

recommended precautions by pregnant 

women to reduce the risk of exposure to 

Zika virus. This information was 

successfully collected for the first time 

in a hospital-based survey of women 

24–48 hours after delivery by the Puerto 

Rico Department of Health in the fall of 

2016 (Emergency OMB approval, 

Control #0920–1127), and has been 

critical for informing clinical guidance, 

developing communication messages, 

and providing resources for pregnant 

women. 

The currently proposed data 

collection includes three components to 

follow-up on the initial effort. The first 

component is a telephone follow-back 

survey among a subset of the original 

participants. This component would be 

the first population-based sample of 

postpartum women who were pregnant 

during the early period of the Zika 

outbreak, and would provide 

information on the accessibility and 

utilization of postpartum and newborn 

services, and continued adherence to 

Zika prevention behaviors. The second 

component would be to repeat the 

hospital-based survey of pregnant 

women to assess the effectiveness of 

emergency response efforts and to 

determine where there is a need for 

further refinement of efforts and 

outstanding resource gaps; as with the 

first hospital-based survey, there would 

be subsequent telephone follow-up 

survey with a subset of the participants. 

The third and final component is the 

addition of a separate hospital-based 

survey for fathers of the infants born to 

surveyed mothers. This component 

would assess father’s concerns about 

Zika related birth defects and 

contribution to prevention efforts. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time to participate.
