Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed and/or continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposal to allow CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH) to conduct a research information collection project titled "Teen and Parents Surveys of Health (TAPS)". This project serves to inform the CDC's Division of Adolescent and School Health's (DASH) key school- based programmatic strategies of improving family- and school-level protective factors, bolstering health education, and increasing adolescent access to quality health services.

allow CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH)
to conduct a research information collection project titled ``Teen and
Parents Surveys of Health (TAPS)''. This project serves to inform the
CDC's Division of Adolescent and School Health's (DASH) key school-
based programmatic strategies of improving family- and school-level
protective factors, bolstering health education, and increasing
adolescent access to quality health services.

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;
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; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Teen and Parents Surveys of Health (TAPS)--New--National Center for
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH) requests approval for
``Teen and Parent Surveys of Health (TAPS)'' through an existing online
panel using NORC at the University of Chicago's AmeriSpeaks panel.
Documenting health-related risk behaviors and experiences and health
outcomes of young people through routine surveillance is a critical
component of DASH's prevention efforts. Another component of DASH's
efforts to improve adolescent health is observational research to
inform its school-based programmatic strategies. This type of research
serves to inform priority settings and sub-populations for intervention
as well as specific intervention strategies. TAPS data will allow DASH
to refine existing strategies for funded school district partners to
improve the quality of their programs and services to prevent HIV,
other STDs, and pregnancy among adolescents, as well as improve mental
health, sexual health and other adolescent health outcomes (e.g.,
substance use, violence victimization). Data will be used to inform
DASH's key school-based programmatic strategies of improving family-
and school-level protective factors, bolstering health education, and
increasing adolescent access to quality health services. This
observational research complements and extends DASH's ongoing
surveillance efforts through the Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillances
System (YRBSS) (OMB Control No. 0920-0493, Exp. 11/30/2023), which
provides key national estimates of adolescent health risk behaviors and
health outcomes, by providing a deeper dive into individual, family,
and school factors that positively associate with adolescent behaviors
and health outcomes. Collecting this observational data provides the
opportunity to examine untested associations of protective factors,
health education experiences, and health service use (immediate
outcomes of DASH strategies) with mental health, sexual health, and
substance use outcomes.
CDC requests approval for an estimated 1,378 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate.
