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
DELTA Achieving Health Equity through Addressing Disparities
(AHEAD) Cooperative Agreement Evaluation--New--National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
[[Page 62860]]
Background and Brief Description
The goal of this project is to collect monitoring data for
performance and implementation of the cooperative agreement: Domestic
Violence Prevention Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances
(DELTA) Achieving Health Equity through Addressing Disparities (AHEAD).
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks OMB approval
for three years for a new information collection request to collect
information from 22 recipients (State Domestic Violence Coalitions) and
all 32 sub-recipients (Coordinated Community Response Teams) funded
through CDC's DELTA AHEAD Program cooperative agreement. CDC will
collect information from DELTA AHEAD recipients as part of its program
evaluation to assess the implementation and impact of the Notice of
Funding Opportunity (NOFO) and further understand the facilitators,
barriers, and critical factors to implement specific violence
prevention strategies and conduct program evaluation activities.
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a serious, yet preventable
public health problem that affects millions of people in the United
States each year. Data from CDC's 2015 National Intimate Partner and
Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) indicate that about one in four women
and one in 10 men have experienced contact sexual violence, physical
violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner during their lifetime
and reported some form of IPV-related impact. This form of violence
disproportionately affects marginalized populations in the United
States. Evidence suggests an increase in new cases and severity of IPV,
particularly for marginalized groups, during the COVID-19 pandemic
pointing to the need to adapt IPV prevention strategies during
shutdowns and other national and global emergencies. Such disparities
in the risk of IPV are created and maintained through systemic health
and social inequities. To achieve health equity requires addressing
root causes (e.g., discrimination and biases in societal values, public
policy) that differentially disadvantage groups based on
characteristics such as race, ethnicity, gender, and ability, and are
often expressed as racism, sexism, and disability discrimination.
Information to be collected will provide crucial data for program
performance monitoring and provide CDC with the capacity to respond in
a timely manner to requests for information about the program from the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the White House,
Congress, and other sources. Information to be collected will also
strengthen CDC's ability to monitor awardee progress, provide data-
driven technical assistance, and disseminate the most current
surveillance data on unintentional and intentional injuries.
Monitoring the impact of population-based strategies and
identifying new insights and innovative solutions to health problems
are two of the noted public health activities that all public health
systems should undertake. For NCIPC, these objectives cannot be
satisfied without the systematic collection of data and information
from state health departments. The information collection will enable
the accurate, reliable, uniform, and timely submission to NCIPC of each
awardee's progress report and injury indicators, including strategies
and performance measures. Funded recipients are expected to use data to
identify populations and environments at differential risk for violence
due to inequitable access to conditions needed for health and safety.
By increasing equitable access to Social Determinants of Health (SDOH),
funded recipients reduce risk factors for and/or increase protective
factors against IPV. Authorized by the Family Violence and Prevention
Services Act (FVPSA), CDC has funded the DELTA Program since 2002. The
DELTA program funds State Domestic Violence Coalitions (SDVCs) to
implement statewide IPV prevention efforts and assist and fund local
communities to do the same.
The information collection and reporting requirements have been
carefully designed to align with and support the specific goals and
outcomes outlined in the cooperative agreement. This funding
opportunity includes two funding options. Category A recipients will
have existing high capacity to implement primary prevention strategies
and will build upon existing efforts. Category B recipients will focus
on gathering publicly available data to better understand gaps in IPV
prevention resources, building capacity to implement and evaluate IPV
primary prevention in their state and selected communities, and using
evaluation data for quality improvement.
Using recipients' annually submitted progress, outcomes,
performance indicators, and related measures, CDC will aggregate and
synthesize those data to inform the CDC evaluation of the cooperative
agreement initiative across all recipients to capture program impact at
the community and state levels, as well as performance monitoring and
continuous program improvement. The CDC evaluation will inform and
highlight the progress and achievements that recipients are making
toward reducing IPV using community and societal level primary
prevention approaches in addressing risk and protective factors.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 962 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate.
