The activity-based cost data provided
by the 68 grantees will be used to
evaluate the programs to ensure the
most appropriate use of limited program
resources. Performing an assessment of
the resources expended on NBCCEDP
will provide valuable information to the
CDC and it partners for improving
program efficiency within the various
components of the NBCCEDP including
screening, case management, outreach,
and overall management. The detailed

of the Minimum Data Elements (MDEs),
the additional burden on grantees to
provide the requested cost data will be
modest. If future cost data collection
efforts are undertaken, the response
burden would be further reduced
because the infrastructure established to
capture the data is already in place.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time to participate in the
survey.

cost data will allow CDC to assess the
costs of the various program
components, identify factors that impact
average cost, perform cost-effectiveness
analysis and develop a resource
allocation tool. The collection and
analysis of the cost data will allow CDC
to utilize a more systematic process to
allocate program resources based on
grantees’ past performance, level of
efficiency, and future needs.

diagnosis volumes (the effectiveness
measures) are already collected as part

Background and Brief Description
Arthritis affects nearly 43 million
Americans, or about one in every six
people, and is the leading cause of
disability among adults in the United
States. Because of the broad public
health impact of this disease, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) developed the
National Arthritis Action Plan in 1998
as a comprehensive approach to
reducing the burden of arthritis in the
United States.
As part of its efforts to implement the
National Arthritis Action Plan, CDC
developed and tested a health
communications campaign promoting
physical activity among Caucasian and

African-American adults with arthritis.
In 2003–2004, CDC developed a similar
campaign for Spanish-speaking people
with arthritis. Hispanic populations
have a slightly lower prevalence rate of
self-reported, doctor-diagnosed arthritis,
but Hispanics with arthritis report
greater work limitations, and higher
rates of severe pain than do Caucasian
populations with arthritis.
The Spanish-language campaign,
Good Morning Arthritis, Today you will
not defeat us, is designed to reach
Spanish speaking adults with arthritis
who are aged 45–64, who have high
school education or less, and whose
annual income is less than $35,000. The
key message elements of the Spanish
language health communications
campaign are similar to its English
counterpart, as are the campaign
objectives and materials. The campaign
objectives are to increase target
audience members’ (1) Beliefs about
physical activity as an arthritis
management strategy (there are ‘‘things
they can do’’ to make arthritis better,
and physical activity is an important
part of arthritis management); (2)
Knowledge of the benefits of physical
activity and appropriate physical
activity for people with arthritis; (3)
Confidence in their ability to be
physically active, and (4) Trial of
physical activity behaviors. Based on
formative research, campaign materials
refer to exercise instead of physical
activity. Campaign materials include;
print ads, 30- and 60-second radio ads
and public service announcements, and
desktop displays with brochures for

pharmacies, doctors’ offices, and
community centers.
In the Fall of 2005, the Spanish
language campaign was pilot tested by
5 state health departments that receive
funding from CDC for their arthritis
programs. CDC will eventually
disseminate these materials to all 36

CDC will conduct an evaluation of the
impact of the Spanish language health
communications campaign on the
exercise/physical activity-related
attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors among
the target audience of Spanish-speaking
people with arthritis. There are no costs
to the respondents other than their time.

CDC-funded states. The 5 preliminary
pilot tests focused on reach and
exposure; a more thorough evaluation is
necessary to assess impact of the
campaign. This information will be used
to guide the public health practice of the
36 state arthritis programs and their
partners.
