disturbances, and disorders of blood

production. In 1992, CDC National

Center for Environmental Health

(NCEH) began the National Childhood

Lead Surveillance Program. The goals of

the childhood lead surveillance program

are to (1) establish childhood lead

surveillance systems at the state and

national levels; (2) use surveillance data

to estimate the extent of elevated bloodlead levels among children; (3) assess

the follow-up of children with elevated

blood-lead levels; (4) examine potential

sources of lead exposure; and (5) help

allocate resources for lead poisoning

prevention activities. In 2001, CDC

awarded 60 grants and cooperative

agreements to fund childhood lead

poisoning prevention programs. The

quarterly report is designed to collect

blood lead screening and test

confirmation data from CDC-funded

programs. The quarterly report consists

of four data tables requiring the

following information: (1) The number

of children screened by age and

Medicaid enrollment status; (2) The

number of children screened and

confirmed by blood lead level; (3) The

number of children screened by

ethnicity; and (4) The number of

children screened by race. OMB

approval for this package will expire on

January 31, 2002. This request is for a

3-year revision with a change in the

burden hours. There is no cost to

respondents.

Proposed Project: Program Evaluation

of the Distribution of Antimicrobial

Agents to Prevent Anthrax, Assessment

of Adverse Events and Adherence—

New—National Center for Infectious

Disease (NCID), Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention. A 60-day

course of antimicrobial prophylaxis has

been recommended for approximately

7,500 persons with exposures to

Bacillus anthracis related to bioterrorist

attacks. To provide the antimicrobial

agents necessary to meet this need, the

National Pharmaceutical Stockpile

(NPS) and the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC) has

continued to support state and local

health departments in responding to a

nationwide public health emergency.

This support has consisted of both the

provision of additional antimicrobial

agents as well as technical assistance

from CDC to ensure effective transfer

and distribution of supplies and

medications, assess ongoing needs, and

assist in management of other issues

arising from the distribution of stockpile

materials.

In order to evaluate this program, a

telephone interview will be

administered to persons who were

recommended to receive 60 days of

antibiotics after potential exposure to

anthrax. The purpose of this interview

will be to assess the provision of

stockpile medications at 60 days after

initiation of prophylactic campaigns for

inhalation anthrax, assess the number of

antibiotic-related adverse events, and

determine the adherence to

antimicrobial regimens. Results of this

evaluation will be an important tool to

determine the level and characteristics

of technical assistance that the NPS and

CDC will need to provide with any

future anthrax post-exposure

prophylaxis campaigns. This systematic

approach to evaluation of an essential

organization practice in public health

will be used to improve public health

actions. There is no cost to the

respondent.
