exposed to contaminated drinking water
at USMC Camp Lejeune—New—Agency
for Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry (ATSDR), Coordinating Center
for Environmental Health and Injury
Prevention (CCEHIP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
On January 28, 2008, President Bush
signed H.R. 4986: National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008
which requires ATSDR to develop a
health survey of individuals possibly
exposed to contaminated drinking water
at Camp Lejeune. The survey will
collect personal health information that
may provide a basis for further reliable
scientific studies of potentially adverse
health impacts of exposure to
contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
The Act requires the survey to be
developed within 120 days of enactment
and to be conducted within one year of
enactment.
Additionally, in 2005, a panel of
independent scientists convened by
ATSDR to explore opportunities for
conducting additional health studies at
Camp Lejeune recommended that the
agency:
• Identify cohorts of individuals with
potential exposure, including adults
who lived on base; adults who resided
off base, but worked on base; children
who lived on base; and those who may
have been exposed while in utero; and
• Conduct a feasibility assessment to
address the issues involved in planning
future studies of mortality, cancer
incidence, and other health outcomes of
interest at the base.

In response, ATSDR prepared a report
on the feasibility of conducting future
epidemiological studies at the base.
ATSDR determined that available
databases could be used to identify
adults who lived at the base or civilians
who worked at the base during the
period when drinking water was
contaminated with volatile organic
compounds (VOCs).
In addition to questions on cancers,
the health survey will include questions
on non-fatal diseases that can be
confirmed by medical records and are
known or suspected of being associated
with solvent exposures.
This project proposes to examine the
relationship between medically
confirmed cancers and
trichloroethylene- (TCE) or
perchloroethylene- (PCE) contaminated
drinking water by mathematically
modeling the exposure to contaminated
drinking water while living or working
at Camp Lejeune.
The relationship between the
following non-fatal diseases that can be
confirmed by medical records and TCEor PCE-contaminated drinking water
will also be examined: Parkinson’s
disease, kidney failure and other severe
kidney diseases, severe liver diseases,
lupus, aplastic anemia, TCE-related skin
disorders, scleroderma, multiple
sclerosis, motor neuron disease/
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and
infertility. In addition, the health survey
will include questions on miscarriages
occurring to women who were pregnant
while residing or working on base.
The health survey will request
information about the type of cancer or

non-fatal, non-cancer disease, date of
diagnosis, hospital of diagnosis, and
doctor who diagnosed the disease to
facilitate the acquisition of medical
record confirmation. Because medical
records are usually unavailable for
miscarriages, the survey will not request
information to facilitate medical record
confirmation of this adverse outcome.
For cancers, state of diagnosis will also
be obtained to facilitate acquisition of
cancer registry data. Self-reported
cancers and other diseases will be
confirmed by medical records or cancer
registrations. To facilitate medical
record confirmation, the participant will
be asked to provide a copy of the
medical record to ATSDR or to sign a
medical records release form allowing
ATSDR to gain access to the medical
record. The survey will also collect
information on residential history on
base, occupational history, and
information on several risk factors (e.g.,
socio-economic status, demographics,
smoking, alcohol consumption, etc.). A
space will also be provided so that the
respondent can report other disease
conditions. The collected information
will be used to assign exposure status
and to assess potential confounding.
To improve the credibility of the
study, it is necessary to include an
external, unexposed comparison group,
similar in all respects to the Marines
and civilian workers at Camp Lejeune
except for exposure to VOCcontaminated drinking water.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time.
The estimated annualized burden
hours are 58,012.

Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–5960 and

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. Written comments should

awareness, knowledge and prepare for
the potential health effects associated
with climate change. To this end, focus
groups will be conducted with members
of a local California community to
understand motivations and factors
influencing target audience’s decision
process. There will also be an emphasis
on the health effects, framing devices,
and channels that might be most
effective for disseminating public health
messages and having them motivate the
intended audiences. With that in hand
it will be possible to identify the most
valuable information and optimal
strategies for communicating with target
audiences.
Focus groups will be conducted with
the residents of Santa Rosa, California.
During phase one, three exploratory
focus groups will be conducted to
develop messaging strategies. Results
from the exploratory focus groups will
be used in the development of
preliminary messaging strategies and
draft materials. This material will be
tested with the target audience during
the second phase of research. The
second phase will include three
materials testing focus groups to
determine which materials and
messages are most attractive and
compelling in terms of educating the
public about health effects and
promoting preparedness behaviors.
Participants will be recruited via
standard focus group recruitment
methods. Most will come from an
existing database (or list) of potential
participants maintained by the focus
group facility or recruited through local
newspapers.
There is no cost to respondents.

Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(NCEH/ATSDR), Centers for Disease

Background and Brief Description
The health effects associated with
climate change include injuries and
fatalities related to severe weather
events and heat waves, infectious
diseases related to changes in vector
biology, water and food contamination,
and respiratory illness due to increased
allergen production. Despite these
potentially devastating public health
consequences, few in the general public
connect climate change with health
effects. In general, the majority of
Americans associate climate change
with nonhuman impacts and
environmental problems rather than
health effects. Most therefore focus their
concern on the connection between
climate change and plant and animal
extinction rather than the impact on
human health. Thus, it is not surprising
that few in the general public are well
prepared to deal with climate change
health effects. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) is
interested in developing communication
materials to increase the public’s
