Proposed Project
Ready CDC—New—Office of Public
Health Preparedness and Response
(OPHPR), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Under the Authority of Section 301 of
the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
241), the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention is responsible for
administering the Ready CDC program.
Ready CDC is an educational
intervention designed to increase
awareness about personal and family
preparedness and increase the number
individuals who are prepared for a
disaster in their community. As a
response Agency, CDC is responsible for
responding to national and international
disasters. One component of ensuring
staff are prepared to respond to disasters
is ensuring that the workforce has their
personal and family preparedness plans
in place. Research has shown that
individuals are more likely to respond
to an event if they perceive that their
family is prepared to function in their
absence during an emergency.
The Ready CDC educational
intervention consists of a Personal
Preparedness Workshop as well as three
targeted communications to reinforce
concepts discussed during the
workshop. The audience for this
intervention will be CDC federal
employees with a responder role (Phase
I), other samples of the CDC workforce
including both federal staff and
contractors (Phase II), and audiences
outside of the CDC, possibly including
other external governmental and nongovernmental organizations (Phase III).
CDC requests Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approval for three
years to collect information that will
measure the initial preparedness of
participants, satisfaction with the
Personal Preparedness Workshops, and
the change in individual knowledge and
behaviors related to personal and family
preparedness.
CDC has developed three data
collection instruments: (1) PreWorkshop Survey; (2) Ready CDC
Workshop Evaluation; and (3) FollowUp Survey. Collectively, these

instruments are needed to gather,
process, aggregate, evaluate, and
disseminate information describing the
program’s processes and outcomes. The
information will be used by CDC to
document progress toward meeting
established program goals and
objectives, to evaluate outcomes
generated by the Ready CDC Personal
Preparedness Workshops and to
respond to data inquiries made by other
agencies of the federal government.
Survey instrument questions will

Survey will be used to document
changes in the categories of questions
dealing with preparedness from the
initial pre-workshop survey.
The estimated total time for data
collection is 35 minutes, resulting in an
annualized estimated burden of 350

There are no costs to respondents

regional preparedness from the
perspective of the participant. Each
participant will be surveyed three times,
once before and twice after their
participation in the Personal
Preparedness Workshop.
It is estimated that there will be a total
of 600 respondents/year with an
estimated time for data collection of 20
minutes each on the pre-workshop
survey, 5 minutes each on the Ready
CDC Workshop Evaluation, and 10
minutes each on the Follow Up Survey.
Instruments will be administered

Type of respondent

Young breast cancer survivors (YBCS,
defined as women diagnosed with
breast cancer under 45 years old) may
have a more difficult time coping with
breast cancer treatment and aftercare
when compared to older breast cancer
survivors. As a result of the Young
Women’s Breast Health Education and
Awareness Requires Learning Young
(EARLY) Act, CDC established Funding
Opportunity Announcement, DP11–
1111, Developing Support and
Educational Awareness for Young (< 45
years of age) Breast Cancer Survivors in
the United States. Subsequently, CDC
awarded a three-year cooperative
agreement to seven organizations that
demonstrated a capacity to (1) reach
YBCS, health care providers, and
caregivers/families, (2) implement
interventions that seek to provide
support services, and (3) develop
educational communication and
awareness resources to support YBCS.

Other establishments within the U.S.,
such as local and national not-for-profit
organizations and academic institutions,
implement similar YBCS-focused
interventions without funding from
CDC’s DP11–1111 cooperative
agreement. Although these entities are
not funded through CDC, they plan,
develop, and employ similar tools,
strategies, and interventions to reach or
benefit these targeted young cancersurvivor populations.
CDC proposes to conduct exploratory
case studies of organizations that
provide support services and/or
educational resources to YBCS, health
care providers, and/or caregivers/
families. Each selected organization will
serve as a unique case and the unit of
analysis. Information will be collected
from up to 12 organizations: seven case
studies will be conducted with
organizations that receive funding
through CDC’s DP11–1111 cooperative
agreement, and up to five case studies
will be conducted with other
organizations that are implementing
similar YBCS-focused activities and
interventions but do not receive funding
under DP11–1111.
Case studies are intended to serve as
an exploration of implementation
activities, as well as to provide the
context for implementation. Information
