Proposed Project
Assessing Diabetes Detection
Initiative for Policy Decision—New—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease
that affects more than 18 million
Americans, approximately 5 million of
whom do not know that they have the
disease. As the disease progresses, it
often causes severe complications,
including heart disease, blindness,
lower extremity arterial disease, and
kidney failure. American Indians,
African Americans, Latino Americans,
and some Asian Americans and Pacific
Islanders are disproportionately affected
by diabetes. Identifying persons who
have undiagnosed diabetes and treating
them could prevent or delay diabetes
complications.
In November 2003 the Diabetes
Detection Initiative (DDI) was launched
in 10 locations around the U.S. to
identify a portion of the estimated 5
million people with undiagnosed Type
2 diabetes, targeting specific areas in
each of 10 locales in which residents are
likely to be at higher risk for Type 2
diabetes. Implementation of the DDI
involved distributing a paper-and-pencil
risk test. Individuals whose score
indicated that they were at an increased
risk for diabetes were advised to see
their regular doctor (or to schedule an
appointment at one of several clinics
that had agreed to participate in the
DDI), to receive a finger-stick or other
tests to confirm whether or not they
have diabetes. Whether or not the DDI
should be expanded to other
communities depends on the health
benefits and costs of the program. The
CDC is planning to conduct a study to
provide this critical information.
The planned study will assess the
resources used, the cost per case
detected, and the perceived benefit of
the DDI to participants. Data for the
economic assessment will be obtained
by conducting three separate surveys:
(1) A local implementation team survey
will be administered to the 10 DDI local
implementation leaders to obtain
information on resources used by the
members of DDI local implementation
teams and community based
organizations to implement the nonmedical service delivery activities for
the DDI program; (2) a health clinic

E:\FR\FM\27FEN1.SGM

27FEN1

8738

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 38 / Tuesday, February 27, 2007 / Notices

leadership survey will be sent to the
clinic directors in each of the 43 clinics
that participated in the DDI across the
10 locations to obtain information on
the cost of delivering the medical
services required in diabetes screening
and diagnosis; and (3) a patient survey
will be administered to a sample of 600
patients at the 43 participating clinics to
obtain information regarding patient
out-of-pocket medical and non-medical
direct health care costs and the
perceived economic benefits of diabetes
screening. The results of the study will
also provide information needed for
conducting a more complete costeffectiveness analysis of screening for
undiagnosed diabetes.
The local implementation team
survey will be mailed to the local DDI
implementation team leader in each of
the 10 regions to collect information
regarding the staff time and other

resources used to implement the DDI
program (including the staff time and
resources used by community-based
organizations that participated in the
DDI implementation). These planning
and implementation activities include
participating in meetings and
conference calls, recruiting clinics and
community-based organizations to
participate in the DDI, distributing risk
tests, organizing health fairs and other
community events, and designing media
campaigns to promote the DDI.
The health clinic leadership survey
will be mailed to the clinic director at
each of the 43 clinics across the 10
locations that participated in the DDI
implementation. The survey will collect
information regarding the costs
associated with the clinic’s participation
in the DDI. These will include the
medical costs of providing care to
patients who visited the clinic as a

result of the DDI, staff time associated
with DDI planning and implementation,
and any staff time that was devoted to
performing finger stick tests at locations
other than the health clinic (e.g., health
fairs, shopping malls, work sites,
housing complexes). Of the 43 clinics to
be surveyed, we expect that 30 (70%)
will complete the survey.
A computer-assisted in-person patient
survey will be administered to a sample
of 600 clinic patients at the 43 clinics
that participated in the DDI. The survey
will collect background information,
out-of-pocket medical and non-medical
direct health care costs (e.g., copayments, transportation costs, value of
patients’ time associated with the clinic
visit), and preferred features of a
diabetes screening program. There are
no costs to respondents other than their
time.

Background and Brief Description
Racial and Ethnic Approaches to
Community Health (REACH) currently
funds forty local coalitions to establish
community based programs and
culturally appropriate interventions to
eliminate racial and ethnic health
disparities. Communities served by
REACH include: African American,
American Indian, Hispanic American,
Asian American, and Pacific Islander.
These communities select among infant
mortality, deficits in breast and cervical
cancer screening and management,
cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, HIV/
AIDS, and deficits in childhood and
adult immunizations to focus their
interventions. Guided by logic models,
each community articulates goals,
objectives, and related activities; tracks
whether goals and objectives are met,
ongoing, or revised; and evaluates all
program activities. This information
will then be entered into the REACH
Management Information System
(REACH MIS). REACH MIS is a
customized internet-based support
system that allows REACH grantees to
perform remote data entry and retrieval
of data. The contract for our current
Information Network (REACH IN), OMB
