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 ``CDC's Milestone Tracker App User Surveys''
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 12, 2022 to obtain
comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive
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)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice
publication.
Proposed Project
CDC's Milestone Tracker App User Surveys--New--National Center on
Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC's Learn the Signs. Act Early. (LTSAE) program promotes family-
engaged developmental monitoring of children and aims to improve early
identification of autism and other developmental disabilities so that
children and families receive the services and support they need. LTSAE
encourages families and early childhood providers/professionals (e.g.,
doctors, therapists, childcare, etc.) to learn the signs of healthy
development, monitor every child's early development, and act when
there is a concern.
The Milestone Tracker application (app) serves as a developmental
monitoring, health education, and communication tool that facilitates
developmental monitoring with interactive, illustrated, age-specific
developmental milestone checklists for children ages two months--five
years. The mobile app is available in both English and Spanish on
Android and iPhone devices. The app provides families and early
childhood providers/professionals with checklists, summaries of a
child's development, activities to support development, tips if there
are concerns, and appointment reminders.
The Milestone Tracker app was first deployed in 2017 and as of
October 2022 had been downloaded over 1.5 million times. However, no
information has been collected on users' experience with the app or
actions taken after interaction with the app. The goal of this project
is to evaluate CDC's Milestone Tracker mobile app by assessing user
satisfaction, usage patterns, and actions taken after a missed
developmental milestone or developmental concern is identified. The
evaluation will consist of three brief web surveys at three distinct
times during the app user experience.
First, all parents (or guardians) who download the app will be
asked to complete the Milestone Tracker App Parent Survey 1. This
survey requests information about whether a child has missed a
developmental milestone, whether the parent has shared information
about a child's developmental milestones with anyone, the parent's
overall perceptions of the app, and how the parent plans to use the
app. The estimated number of respondents is 200,000 per year and the
estimated burden per response is five minutes. If a parent indicates
that their child has missed a developmental milestone or has a
developmental concern, the parent will be invited to complete the
Milestone Tracker App Parent Survey 2. Because parents who download the
app are more likely to have concerns about a child's development than
parents in the general U.S. population, for purposes of burden
calculation CDC is also estimating up to 200,000 responses per year to
Parent Survey 2. The second survey requests information about actual
usage of the app and outcomes of sharing information about the child's
developmental milestones (e.g., referral to diagnostic testing or
educational support services). The estimated burden per response is
five minutes.
The third survey is for providers that use the app, e.g., health
care providers or specialists in early childhood education. Information
will be collected about how they use the app and their satisfaction
with it. The estimated number of annualized responses is 100,000 and
the estimated burden per response is five minutes.
The objectives of these three short surveys are to understand how
the app is being used, if users like the app/find it helpful, if the
app helped them to identify a possible developmental concern, if they
plan to use it again, and what actions are taken after a missed
developmental milestone or developmental concern is identified (e.g.,
talk to doctor, talk to family/friends, referral to specialist, etc.).
OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation is
voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their time.
The total estimated annualized burden is 41,667 hours.
