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 ``DELTA Achieving Health Equity through
Addressing Disparities (AHEAD) Cooperative Agreement Evaluation'' 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 October 17, 2022 to obtain
comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received four
comments 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
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).
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 (ICR) 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 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
[[Page 37885]]
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 Intimate Partner Violence (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 163 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
