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 ``Formative Research on Adverse and positive
childhood experiences, social determinants of health, and health equity
among young adults in the US'' 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 19, 2024 to obtain comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC received 17 non-substantive 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
Formative Research on Adverse and Positive Childhood Experiences,
Social Determinants of Health, and Health Equity Among Young Adults in
the US--New--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC requests OMB approval for a new data collection titled
Formative research on adverse and positive childhood experiences,
social determinants of health, and health equity among young adults in
the US. This study will help CDC to better understand the relationship
between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), positive childhood
experiences (PCEs), social determinants of health (SDOH), and health
outcomes among young adults from populations that have been socially
and economically marginalized. This is a group at high risk for
experiencing childhood adversity and has been historically
underrepresented in research studies.
CDC is seeking approval from OMB to conduct a one-time information
collection effort, with data collection occurring over a 12-month
period. The study will include 6,000 young adults ages 18 to 24 living
in the United States. Primary data collection in English and Spanish,
via a probability-based web panel survey, will obtain new data on
retrospective assessments of ACEs and other potentially traumatic
experiences, PCEs, SDOHs, and health and violence outcomes. Sampling
frameworks will be designed to ensure overrepresentation of some
populations that are disproportionately impacted by ACEs as well as
underrepresented in research and violence prevention programming,
including individuals with disabilities; individuals from racial and
ethnic minority groups; and individuals who identify as sexual or
gender minority.
This project expands the existing evidence base and addresses
several gaps in extant data collection systems in the following three
ways:
First, this study expands how ACEs are measured. Traditional ACEs
research has measured eight to ten highly interconnected, household-
level childhood stressors. These include sexual abuse, physical abuse,
emotional abuse, emotional neglect, physical neglect, witnessing
intimate partner violence, parent separation/divorce, and living in a
home with exposure to mental illness, substance misuse, and
incarceration (hereafter referred to as traditional ACEs). However,
most ACE research does not account for a wide array of other
potentially traumatic experiences that can exist across all levels of
the social ecology, including stressors that uniquely impact
populations that are socially and economically marginalized (e.g., fear
of deportation; experiences of transphobia; exposure to neighborhood or
community violence). These potentially traumatic experiences may have
an additive or multiplicative effect on risk for poor outcomes or may
have a greater effect on risk relative to the conventional ACEs
categories.
Second, this study will create a diverse sample which is
statistically powered to answer questions on how to prevent ACEs and
mitigate the impact of specific and cumulative ACE exposures among
communities that have been traditionally socially and economically
marginalized. Most samples used in prior surveillance and research
studies do not sufficiently oversample under-represented communities to
allow for disaggregation of results by sub-group. Thus, there is a need
for data samples that allow for disaggregated analysis and results.
Third, this study will link individual level data to community-
level variables. While ACEs are individual experiences, they are
influenced by the contexts in
[[Page 101016]]
which children and families live. SDOH are the conditions in which
people are born, grow, live, work, and age that are shaped by the
distribution of money, power, and resources. SDOH contribute to health
and social inequities for groups with disparities in access to money,
power and resources. Many existing ACE datasets involving individual-
level respondents cannot be linked to community-level variables. This
formative study will link survey data with publicly available data on
structural factors (e.g., minimum wage; generosity of unemployment
benefits) via USPS zip code or other geographic indicators.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 3591 annual burden
hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to
participate.
