SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), 

Federal agencies must obtain approval 

from the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. In 

addition, the PRA also requires Federal 

agencies to provide a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each new proposed 

collection, each proposed extension of 

existing collection of information, and 

each reinstatement of previously 

approved information collection before 

submitting the collection to the OMB for 

approval. To comply with this 

requirement, we are publishing this 

notice of a proposed data collection as 

described below. 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments that will help: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

5. Assess information collection costs. 

Proposed Project 

Assessments to Inform Program 

Refinement for HIV, other STD, and 

Pregnancy Prevention among Middle 

and High-School Aged Youth—New— 

Division of Adolescent and School 

Health (DASH), National Center for 

HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 

Prevention, Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) seeks to request OMB 

approval of a one-year generic 

information collection plan. CDC seeks 

to collect qualitative and quantitative 

data from adolescents (ages 11–19) and 

their parents/caregivers to assess 

program needs and services. 

NCHHSTP conducts behavioral and 

health service assessments and research 

projects as part of its response to the 

domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic, STD 

prevention, TB elimination and viral 

hepatitis control with national, state, 

and local partners. Adolescents make up 

the population of interest for DASH and 

several other NCHHSTP divisions, as 

Adolescents have specific 

developmental, health social, and 

resource needs. DASH addresses 

adolescent health risk factors and access 

to health care as the organization’s 

primary mission. The assessment and 

research conducted by NCHHSTP is one 

pillar upon which NCHHSTP revises 

and updates its recommendations and 

guidelines. Recommendations and 

guidelines for adolescent sexual risk 

reduction require a foundation of 

scientific evidence. 

Assessment of programmatic practices 

for adolescents helps to assure effective 

and evidence-based sexual risk 

reduction practices and efficient use of 

resources. Such assessments also help to 

improve programs through better 

identification of strategies relevant to 

adolescents as a population as well as 

specific sub-groups of adolescents at 

highest risk for HIV and other STDs so 

that programs can be better tailored for 

them. 

The information collection requests 

under this generic plan intend to allow 

for data collection with two types of 

respondents: 

• Adolescents (11–19 years old) of 

middle and high school age; and 

• Parents and/or caregivers of 

adolescents of middle and high school 

age. For the purposes of this generic 

package, parents/caregivers include the 

adult primary caregiver(s) for a child’s 

basic needs (e.g., food, shelter, and 

safety). This includes biological parents; 

other biological relatives such as 

grandparents, aunts, uncles, or siblings; 

and non-biological parents such as 

adoptive, foster, or stepparents. 

The types of information collection 

activities included in this generic plan 

include: 

(1) Quantitative data collection 

through electronic, telephone, or paper 

questionnaires to gather information 

about programmatic and service 

activities related to the prevention of 

HIV and other STDs among adolescents 

of middle- and high-school age. 

(2) Qualitative data collection through 

electronic, telephone, or paper means to 

gather information about programmatic 

and service activities related to the 

prevention of HIV and other STDs 

among adolescents of middle- and highschool age. Qualitative data collection 

may involve focus groups and in-depth 

interviewing through group interviews, 

and cognitive interviewing. 

For adolescents, data collection 

instruments will include questions on 

demographic characteristics; 

experiences with programs and services 

to reduce the risk of HIV and other STD 

transmission; and knowledge, attitudes, 

behaviors, and skills related to sexual 

risk and protective factors on the 

individual, interpersonal, and 

community levels. 

For parents and caregivers, data 

collection instruments will include 

questions on demographic 

characteristics as well as parents’/ 

caregivers’ (1) perceptions about 

programs and services provided to 

adolescents; (2) knowledge, attitudes, 

and perceptions about their adolescents’ 

health risk and protective behaviors; 

and (3) parenting knowledge, attitudes, 

behaviors, and skills. 

Any data collection request put 

forward under this generic clearance 

will identify the programs and/or 

services to be informed or refined with 

the information from the collection and 

will include a crosswalk of data 

elements to the aspects of the program 

the project team seeks to inform or 

refine. Because this request includes a 

wide range of possible data collection 

instruments, specific requests will 

include items of information to collect 

and copies of data collection 

instruments. CDC will pilot test all data 

collection instruments. CDC will ensure 

cultural, developmental, and age 

appropriateness of each instrument. 

Similarly, CDC will pilot test parent 

data collection instruments and the data 

collection instruments will reflect the 

culture, developmental stage, and age of 

the parents’ adolescent children. 

All data collection procedures will 

receive review and approval by an 

Institutional Review Board for the 

protection of human subjects. CDC will 

also adhere to appropriate consent and 

assent procedures as outlined in the 

IRB-approved protocols and described 

in the generic information collection 

plan. 

Participation of respondents is 

voluntary. There is no cost to the 

participants other than their time. 

The table below provides the 

estimated annualized response burden 

for up to 15 individual data collections 

under this generic plan. CDC estimates 

57,584 respondent burden hours for 

these information collections.
