Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for the
respondent’s time to participate in the
study. The TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online
Post-Training Survey will be completed

by approximately 3,000 individuals. We
estimate that each respondent will
answer 10 items (i.e., number of
responses per respondent) and
responding to these 10 questions will
require 20 minutes. The total

annualized burden is estimated to be
10,000 hours.
Exhibit 2 shows the estimated
annualized cost burden based on the
respondents’ time to participate in the
study. The total cost burden is estimated
to be $35,930.

Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis,
STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
HIV infections remain high among
young men who have sex with men. The
estimated number of new HIV infections
increased between 2008 and 2010 both
overall and among MSM ages 13 to 24.
Furthermore, sexual risk behaviors
associated with HIV, other sexually
transmitted disease (STD), and
pregnancy often emerge in adolescence.
For example, 2011 Youth Risk Behavior
Surveillance System (YRBSS) data
revealed 47.4% of U.S. high school
students reported having had sex, and
among those who had sex in the
previous three months, 39.8% reported
having not used a condom during last
sexual intercourse. In addition, 2001–
2009 YRBSS data revealed high school
students identifying as gay, lesbian, and
bisexual and those reporting sexual
contact with both males and females
were more likely to engage in sexual
risk-taking behaviors than heterosexual
students.
Given the disproportionate risk for
HIV among YMSM ages 13–24, it is
important to find ways to reach the
younger youth (i.e., ages 13–19) in this
range to decrease sexual risk behaviors
and increase health-promoting
behaviors such as routine HIV testing.
Schools provide one opportunity for
this. United States Census Bureau data
suggests that because schools enroll
more than 22 million teens (ages 14–19)
and often have existing health and
social services infrastructure, schools
and their staff members are wellpositioned to connect youth to a wide
range of needed services, including
housing assistance, support groups, and
sexual health services such as HIV
testing. As a result, CDC’s DASH has
focused a number of HIV and STD
prevention efforts on strategies that can
be implemented in or centered around
schools.

The CDC requests a 3-year OMB
approval to conduct a new information
collection entitled, ‘‘Assessing SchoolCentered HIV/STD Prevention Efforts in
a Local Education Agency’’. The
information collection uses a selfadministered paper-pencil
questionnaire, the Youth Health and
School Climate Questionnaire, to
conduct in-depth assessment of HIV and
STD prevention efforts that are taking
place in one local education agency
(LEA) funded by CDC’s Division of
Adolescent and School Health (DASH)
under strategy 4 (School-Centered HIV/
STD Prevention for Young Men Who
Have Sex with Men) of PS13–1308:
Promoting Adolescent Health through
School-Based HIV/STD Prevention and
School-Based Surveillance. This data
collection will provide data and reports
for the funded LEA, and will allow the
LEA to identify areas of the program
that are working well and other areas
that will need additional improvement.
In addition, the findings will allow CDC
to determine the potential impact of
currently recommended strategies and
make changes to those
recommendations if necessary. The
questionnaire will include questions on
the following topics: demographic
information; HIV and STD risk
behaviors; use of HIV and STD health
services; experiences at school,
including school connectedness,
harassment and bullying, homophobia,
support of LGBTQ students; sexual
orientation; receipt of referral for HIV
and STD prevention health services; and
health education.
This data collection system involves
administration of a paper-and-pencil
questionnaire to seven high schools that
are participating in the HIV/STD
prevention project of a local education
agency that is funded with support from
CDC’s PS13–1308. The Youth Health
and School Climate Questionnaire will
be administered to approximately
16,500 students across the seven schools

in the years 2014 and 2016. These data
collection points coincide with the
initiation of project activities and the
mid-way points of the PS13–1308
cooperative agreement. We anticipate
that each year of data collection will
yield data from up to 16,500 high school
students in grades 9 through 12 at the
selected school.
Although some students may take the
questionnaire in multiple years, this is
not a longitudinal design and students’
responses will not be tracked across the
years. No personally identifiable
information will be collected.
All students’ parents will receive
parental consent forms that provide
them with an opportunity to opt their
children out of the study. In addition,
each student will be given an assent
form that explains he or she may choose
not to take the questionnaire or may
skip any questions in the questionnaire
with no penalty. Participation is
completely voluntary.
The estimated burden per response
ranges from 35–45 minutes. This
variation in burden is due to the slight
variability in skip patterns that may
occur with certain responses and
variations in the reading speed of
students. The burden estimates
presented here are based on the
assumption of a 40-minute response
time per response. Students in the 12th
grade in fall 2014 will complete the
questionnaire only once. It is estimated
that students in the 9th, 10th, and 11th
grade will complete the questionnaire in
fall of 2014 and again in the spring of
2016 when they will be 10th, 11th, and
12th grade students. In addition,
students who are in the 9th grade in
spring of 2016 will also complete the
questionnaire. Annualizing this
collection over three years results in an
estimated annualized burden of 11,000
hours for respondents. There are no
costs to respondents other than their
time.

Proposed Project
Information Collection on CauseSpecific Absenteeism in Schools—
New—National Center for Emerging and
Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID),
Division of Global Migration and
Quarantine (DGMQ), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Division of Global
Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ),
requests approval of a new information
collection to better understand the
triggers, timing and duration of the use
of school related measures for
preventing and controlling the spread of
influenza during the next pandemic.
The information collection for which
approval is sought is in accordance with
DGMQ/CDC’s mission to reduce
morbidity and mortality in mobile
populations, and to prevent the

introduction, transmission, or spread of
communicable diseases within the
United States. Insights gained from this
information collection will assist in the
planning and implementation of CDC
Pre-Pandemic Guidance on the use of
school related measures, including
school closures, to slow transmission
during an influenza pandemic.
School closures were considered an
important measure during the earliest
stage of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic,
because a pandemic vaccine was not
available until October (6 months later),
and sufficient stocks to immunize all
school-age children were not available
until December. However, retrospective
review of the U.S. government response
to the pandemic identified a limited
evidence-base regarding the
effectiveness, acceptability, and
feasibility of various school related
measures during mild or moderately
severe pandemics. Guidance updates
will require an evidence-based rationale
for determining the appropriate triggers,
timing, and duration of school related
measures, including school closures,
during a pandemic.
CDC staff proposes that the
information collection for this package
will target adult and child populations
in a school district in Wisconsin. CDC
will collect reports of individual student
symptoms, vaccination status, recent
travel, recent exposure to people with
influenza symptoms and duration of
illness; this will be accomplished
through telephone and in-person
interviews.
Findings obtained from this
information collection will be used to
inform the update CDC’s Pre-pandemic
Guidance on the implementation of
school related measures to prevent the
spread of influenza, especially school
closures. This Guidance is used as an
important planning and reference tool
for both State and local health
departments in the United States.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.
