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
Assessment for the Get Ahead of Sepsis (GAOS) Consumer Campaign--
New--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases
(NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Sepsis is a life threating emergency, and it is the body's
overactive and toxic response to an infection. Each year 1.7 million
adults in the United States develop sepsis, with 270,000 fatalities.
Sepsis is the leading cause of death in hospitals and one out of three
hospital fatalities are due to sepsis infection. Sepsis management in
U.S. hospitals is the highest when compared to inpatient cost for all
other medical conditions. Annual costs are estimated to be over $62
billion.
In media and public health campaigns, antimicrobial resistance and
sepsis are rarely presented together which does not make their linkage
apparent. It has been concluded that sepsis and antimicrobial
stewardship should not be discussed in isolation. Surprisingly, 24
percent of adults in the U.S. have never heard of sepsis, so this
presents a unique opportunity for future messaging campaigns.
The goals of the GAOS educational campaign are to prevent and
reduce infections that lead to sepsis and to optimize healthcare
quality and patient safety by raising awareness, knowledge, and
motivating behavior change related to sepsis prevention, early
recognition, and appropriate treatment among consumer target audiences.
A panel survey will be utilized to recruit participants. Surveys will
be distributed to consumer target groups and HCPs both before and after
the media campaign and partner outreach.
Consumer audiences include:
(1) Cancer patients and their caregivers (English speaking),
(2) Patients who survived severe COVID-19 or sepsis and their
caregivers (English speaking),
[[Page 4891]]
(3) Women who care for a young child (children ages 12 and younger;
English speaking),
(4) Women who care for a young child (children ages 12 and younger;
Spanish speaking),
(5) Women who care for an aging parent 65+ (English speaking),
(6) Women who care for an aging parent 65+ (Spanish speaking),
(7) Men aged 65+ with one or more chronic conditions (English
speaking), and
(8) Healthy adults 65+ (English speaking).
HCP audiences include:
(1) Emergency Medical Services personnel (English speaking),
(2) Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants who work at urgent
care clinics (English speaking),
(3) Emergency Department triage nurses (English speaking),
(4) General medical ward staff (English speaking),
(5) Primary care physicians (English speaking),
(6) Long-term care (LTC) nurses (English speaking), and
(7) LTC medical technicians and sitters (English speaking).
This program evaluation will assist CDC in determining if the media
campaign, along with partner outreach, was successful in changing
awareness, knowledge, and behaviors of consumers and HCPs in select
target markets. The data collected will also be used to inform future
refinement and implementation of the campaign (materials and tactics).
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 68 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
