risks to public health, and are tasked
with providing trusted, accurate health
information to the public. Given that
both agencies are under the same
leadership, information collected to
inform health communications will be
of value to both agencies.
The Office of Communications is
seeking a one-year Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)approval for an initiative to increase the
effectiveness of the agencies’
communications related to both
unintentional and intentional chemical
releases. In order to inform the
development of messages and materials,
the Office of Communications would
like to understand the knowledge,
attitudes, and behaviors (KAB) of key
professional audiences who are
involved in the immediate aftermath of
chemical emergencies. In consultation
with Subject Matter Experts, the Office
of Communications prioritized the
following professional audiences for
this research:

• First responders, including police, fire
fighters and emergency medical service
workers
• Emergency department personnel,
both clinical and non-clinical
• Environmental and public health
professionals at the city, county and
state levels
• Poison Control Center directors and
staff
This information collection seeks to
characterize what these key
professionals know and believe about
chemical emergency events, what
related activities and behaviors they
engage in or would engage in, what
information these audiences want, and
what their challenges and concerns are.
This information collection seeks
approval to obtain data using two
qualitative data collection methods. The
first method includes focus groups to
explore the KAB of members of these
key professions in a group setting,
allowing for dialogue between
participants to provide the Office of
Communications with in-depth

information about this complex topic.
Focus groups will take place remotely
using Webinar technology, and
participants will join the discussion by
telephone. Although the Recruitment
Screeners vary by respondent type, the
same Moderator’s Guide will be used for
all focus groups. The second part of this
information collection will include
individual interviews with state-level
environmental health professionals and
Poison Control Center directors.
Individual interviews will allow the
agencies to gather in-depth information
about state-level response structures and
Poison Control Centers. Interviews will
take place by telephone. To help ensure
that participants have some experience
responding to chemical emergencies,
participants will be recruited from five
states with the highest number of
chemical emergencies, and within those
states, from the areas where the highest
number of incidents have occurred.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total burden
hours requested is 138 hours.

Proposed Project
CDC Work@Health Program: Phase 2
Training and Technical Assistance
Evaluation—New—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In the United States, chronic diseases
such as heart disease, obesity and
diabetes are among the leading causes of
death and disability. Although chronic
diseases are among the most common
and costly health problems, they are
also among the most preventable.
Adopting healthy behaviors—such as
eating nutritious foods, being physically
active and avoiding tobacco use—can
prevent the devastating effects and
reduce the rates of these diseases.
Employers are recognizing the role
they can play in creating healthy work
environments and providing employees
with opportunities to make healthy
lifestyle choices. To support these
efforts, the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) plans to offer a
comprehensive workplace health
program called Work@Health. The
Work@Health Program is authorized by
the Public Health Service Act and
funded through the Prevention and
Public Health Fund of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act
(ACA). The Work@Health curriculum
will be based on a problem-solving
approach to improving employer
knowledge and skills related to
effective, science-based workplace
health programs, and supporting the
adoption of these programs in the

year. In addition, they must offer health
insurance to their employees and have
at least minimal workplace health
program knowledge and experience.
Applicants for the T4 training model
must have previous knowledge, training
and experience with workplace health
programs and an interest in becoming
instructors for the Work@Health
program. They may be referred by
employers, health departments,
business coalitions, trade associations,
or other organizations.
CDC is requesting OMB approval to
initiate Phase 2 information collection
in December 2013. CDC plans to collect
information needed to select the
employers who will participate in the
T1–T3 trainings and the individuals
who will participate in the T4 Train-theTrainer model; to describe the
implementation of the Work@Health
program; to obtain reactions to the
training and technical assistance from
trainees, instructors, and coaches; to
assess changes in trainees’ knowledge,
awareness, behavior and skill level
before and after participation in
Work@Health; and to evaluate the
impact of Work@Health on the adoption
of workplace health programs, policies
and environmental supports among
participating employers. In addition, for
one year after the implementation
period, CDC will continue to collect
information to assess the sustainability
of organizational level changes in
workplace health programs and policies.
OMB approval is requested for two
years for Phase 2 information collection.
Information will be used to evaluate the
effectiveness of the Work@Health
program and to identify the best way(s)
to deliver skill-based workplace health
training and technical support to
employers.
Participation in Work@Health is
voluntary and there are no costs to
participants other than their time and
cost of travel.

workplace. Topics to be covered in the
Work@Health curriculum include
principles, strategies, and tools for
leadership engagement; how to make a
business case for workplace health
programs; how to assess the needs of
organizations and individual
employees; how to plan, implement,
and evaluate sustainable workplace
health programs; and how to partner
with community organizations for
additional support.
The Work@Health Program will be
implemented in two phases. In Phase 1,
CDC will conduct an employer needs
assessment, develop training models,
and conduct pilot training and
evaluation with approximately 60
employers and other organizations. In
Phase 2, CDC will transition to full-scale
program implementation and evaluation
involving approximately 540 employers,
as well as approximately 60 individuals
with training and experience in
workplace health who are interested in
becoming trained/certified instructors
for the Work@Health Program.
CDC will offer training in four models
(formats): (1) A ‘‘Hands-on’’ instructorled workshop model (T1); (2) a selfpaced ‘‘Online’’ model (T2); (3) a
combination or ‘‘Blended’’ model (T3);
and (4) a ‘‘Train-the-Trainer’’ model
(T4) designed to prepare qualified
individuals to train other employers
using the Work@Health curricula.
Employers who complete the T1–T3
training will be invited to participate in
peer learning networks and receive
technical assistance from coaches to
support their efforts to implement or
enhance their workplace health
programs. Technical assistance will also
be provided to the individuals who
complete the T4 model to help prepare
them to provide the Work@Health
training to employers.
To be eligible for the T1–T3 trainings,
employers must have a minimum of 30
employees, a valid business license, and
have been in business for at least one

Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is establishing the
Work@Health Program, a
comprehensive workplace health
promotion training program, to support
employers’ efforts to create healthy
work environments and provide
employees with opportunities to make
healthy lifestyle choices. The
Work@Health curriculum will be based
on a problem-solving approach to
improving employer knowledge and
skills related to effective, science-based
workplace health programs, and
supporting the adoption of these
programs in the workplace.
The Work@Health Program will train
and support small, mid-size, and large
employers with three primary goals: (1)
Increase understanding of the training
needs of employers and the best way to
deliver skill-based training to them; (2)
Increase employers’ level of knowledge
and awareness of workplace health
program concepts and principles as well
as tools and resources to support the
design, implementation, and evaluation
of effective workplace health strategies
and interventions; and (3) Increase the
number of science-based workplace
health programs, policies, and practices
in place at participating employers’
worksites and increase the access and
opportunities for employees to
participate in them.
The Work@Health Program will be
implemented in two phases. In Phase 1,
CDC will conduct an employer needs
assessment, develop training models,
and conduct pilot training and

evaluation with approximately 60
employers and other organizations. In
Phase 2, CDC will transition to full-scale
program implementation and evaluation
involving approximately 600 employers
and other organizations. CDC is
requesting OMB approval to initiate
Phase 1 information collection in
summer 2013.
A one-time Training Needs
Assessment Survey will be administered
electronically to 200 employers
representing small, mid-size, and large
businesses from various industry sectors
and geographic locales. The needs
assessment survey will allow CDC to
assess employer preferences with
respect to curriculum content, the types
of support materials needed by
employers and the appropriate level of
detail for these materials, and the best
approaches for providing technical
assistance to employers.
CDC plans to pilot the training with
60 employers in four models (formats),
with 15 employers participating in each:
(1) A ‘‘Hands-on’’ instructor-led
workshop model (T1), (2) a self-paced
‘‘Online’’ model (T2), (3) a combination
or ‘‘Blended’’ model (T3), and (4) a
‘‘Train-the-Trainer’’ model (T4)
designed to prepare qualified
individuals to train employers through
the Hands-on, Online, or Blended
models. Upon completion of the pilot
training, each participant will be asked
to complete a 15–20 minute evaluation
survey to allow CDC to assess
respondent satisfaction with the
procedures, methods, content and
strategies employed in each
Work@Health training model.
