strengthen relationships between public
health and clinical care.
These activities will facilitate the
quick and efficient identification of
cases in future outbreaks and protect the
health and safety of patients. This
request corresponds with an initial
ongoing data collection (Phase I), State
Health Department Access to Electronic
Health Record Data during an Outbreak:
A Retrospective Assessment, which
involves interviews with four types of
Health Department staff: Healthcareassociated infection coordinator,
epidemiologist, legal counsel, and
informatics director (OMB Number
0920–0879, approved on 04/24/2014).
Phase I data analysis is ongoing.
For Phase II of this study, we will be
requesting participation from hospital
and clinic staff in their official
capacities across the same 15 states
included in the Phase I request. The

investigation. In hospitals, the
evaluation team will be conducting
interviews with staff members serving
in one of three roles: Infection
preventionist, informatics director, and
other as referred (e.g. privacy officer,
risk management, etc.). In clinics, the
evaluation team will be conducting
interviews with the clinic director, and
other as referred (e.g. patient records
manager, etc.)
The maximum estimates for burden
hours are derived from interview guide
pilot testing and data collection with
HDs during Phase I data collection, in
which interviews took 27 minutes. The
total annual burden is 90 hours.
The data to be collected do not
involve questions of a personal or
sensitive nature and should have no
impact on the individual’s privacy.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time.

states chosen for Phase I and Phase II
data collections are: Florida, Indiana,
Kansas, Maryland, Michigan,
Minnesota, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
Data will be collected from 150 hospital
and clinic staff in their official
capacities using one 30-minute
telephone interview per person and
limiting interviews to two hospitals and
two clinics per state. Hospital
participants include: Infection
preventionists, informatics directors,
and others as referred. Clinic
participants include: Clinic directors
and others as referred.
The focus of this OMB request is to
conduct interviews with 150 healthcare
facilities’ staff, hospitals and clinics, in
their official capacity who has been
asked by HDs to provide access to their
EHRs during an HAI outbreak

Proposed Project
Extended Evaluation of the National
Tobacco Prevention and Control Public
Education Campaign—New—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2012, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) launched the first
federally funded, national mass media
campaign to educate consumers about
the adverse health consequences of
tobacco use (the National Tobacco
Prevention and Control Public
Education Campaign, or ‘‘The
Campaign’’). The Campaign continued
in 2013 and 2014 with advertisements
known as ‘‘Tips from Former Smokers.’’
Activities for Phase 3 of the campaign
are ongoing. To assess the impact of The
Campaign in Phases 1–3, CDC obtained
OMB approval to conduct a series of
longitudinal surveys of smokers and
nonsmokers (OMB Control Number
0920–0923, exp. 3/31/2017).
New media activities for Phases 4 and
5 of The Campaign are scheduled to
launch in March 2015. To support
evaluation of The Campaign through
Phase 5, CDC plans to field four new
waves of information collection. The
surveys will be fielded in English and

Information will be collected through
Web surveys to be self-administered on
computers in the respondents’ homes or
in another convenient location.
Information will be collected about
smokers’ and nonsmokers’ awareness of
and exposure to specific campaign
advertisements; knowledge, attitudes,
beliefs related to smoking and
secondhand smoke; and other marketing
exposure. The surveys will also measure
behaviors related to smoking cessation
(among the smokers in the sample) and
behaviors related to nonsmokers’
encouragement of smokers to quit
smoking, recommendations of cessation
services, and attitudes about other
tobacco and nicotine products.
It is important to evaluate The
Campaign in a context that assesses the
dynamic nature of tobacco product
marketing and uptake of various tobacco
products, particularly since these may
affect successful cessation rates. Survey
instruments may be updated to include
new or revised items on relevant topics,
including cigars, noncombustible
tobacco products, and other emerging
trends in tobacco use.
OMB approval is requested for two
years. Participation is voluntary and
there are no costs to respondents other
than their time.

Spanish and will occur during late
2015, 2016, and early 2017. Once
enrolled in the first wave of data
collection, all participants will be recontacted for follow-up at subsequent
survey waves.
The sample for the data collection
will originate from two sources: (1) An
online longitudinal cohort of smokers
and nonsmokers, sampled randomly
from postal mailing addresses in the
United States (address-based sample, or
ABS); and (2) the existing GfK
KnowledgePanel, an established longterm online panel of U.S. adults. The
ABS-sourced longitudinal cohort will
consist of smokers and nonsmokers who
have not previously participated in any
established online panels to reduce
potential panel conditioning bias from
previous participation. The new cohort
will be recruited by GfK, utilizing
similar recruitment methods that are
used in the recruitment of
KnowledgePanel. The GfK
KnowledgePanel will be used in
combination with the new ABS-sourced
cohort to support larger sample sizes
that will allow for more in-depth
subgroup analysis, which is a key
objective for CDC. All online surveys,
regardless of sample source, will be
conducted via the GfK KnowledgePanel
Web portal for self-administered
surveys.
