Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled Teen and Parents Surveys of Health (TAPS) to
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC
previously published a ``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public
Comment and Recommendations'' notice on July 2, 2021 to obtain comments
from the public and affected agencies. CDC received no comments related
to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30
days for public and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) 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 submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)

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).'' This one-time data
collection will be conducted via a contract with NORC at the University
of Chicago and its national online panel survey, AmeriSpeaks.
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. These 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 OMB approval for an estimated 1,378 annualized burden
hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
