SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520),
Federal agencies must obtain approval
from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In
addition, the PRA also requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each new proposed
collection, each proposed extension of
existing collection of information, and
each reinstatement of previously
approved information collection before
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, we are publishing this
notice of a proposed data collection as
described below.
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

Background and Brief Description
Chronic diseases and conditions—
such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes,
and obesity—are the leading causes of
death and disability in the United
States, and are major drivers of sickness,
disability, and high health care costs
(CDC, 2016). Having multiple chronic
conditions further increases the risk for
these negative health outcomes, while
also increasing risk for poor day-to-day
functioning. Chronic diseases, as well as
multiple chronic diseases, are
associated with significant health care
costs. In 2010, 86% of all health care
spending was attributed to individuals
with at least one chronic medical
condition, and 71% was associated with
care for individuals with multiple
chronic conditions (Gerteis et al., 2014).
To address these challenges, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC)’s National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP) provides
funding for cross-cutting chronic
disease programs within state and local
health agencies to implement public
health programs; conduct public health
surveillance; translate research;
communicate health prevention
messages; and develop and implement
tools and resources for state- and locallevel stakeholders. In 2013, the
NCCDPHP developed a new program
funding opportunity to support states in
the design and implementation of
strategies to reduce complications from
multiple chronic diseases and
associated risk factors. The funding
opportunity was announced as ‘‘State
Public Health Actions to Prevent and
Control Diabetes, Heart Disease, Obesity
and Associated Risk Factors and
Promote School Health,’’ CDC–RFA–
DP13–1305, and is hereafter referred to
as ‘‘State Public Health Actions 1305.’’
This new 5-year cooperative agreement
supports state health departments in an
important transition from funding and
implementing four separate categorical
areas (i.e., diabetes; heart disease and
stroke; nutrition, physical activity, and
obesity; and school health) to working
collaboratively across categorical areas
to plan and implement cross-cutting
initiatives. This cross-cutting approach
is essential for supporting activities to

prevent chronic disease and risk
factors—particularly multiple chronic
conditions.
State Public Health Actions 1305
addresses six key public health
priorities: (1) Uncontrolled
hypertension, (2) prevention and control
of diabetes, (3) incidence of obesity, (4)
increased physical activity and healthy
eating by children and adults, (5)
increased breastfeeding, and (6)
improved management of chronic
conditions among students. Strategies
implemented under State Public Health
Actions 1305 fall into one or more of
four chronic disease domains, including
(1) Epidemiology and Surveillance, (2)
Environmental Approaches to promote
health and support and reinforce
healthful behaviors, (3) Health Systems
Interventions to improve the effective
delivery and use of clinical and other
preventive services, and (4) CommunityClinical Linkages to support
cardiovascular disease and diabetes
prevention and control efforts, and the
management of chronic diseases.
Through this cooperative agreement,
CDC currently provides over $100
million to state health departments in
all 50 United States and the District of
Columbia. Due to the funding,
complexity, coordination, and
collaboration needed to implement State
Public Health Actions 1305, there are a
number of semi-annual and annual
reporting requirements related to
categorical spending, chronic disease
outcomes, efficiencies, and
accomplishments. These routine
reporting requirements allow CDC to
monitor awardee progress towards
programmatic goals, but do not collect
specific information about the processes
that support program implementation
plans.
The overall evaluation of State Public
Health Actions 1305 examines the
efficiency and effectiveness of the
program to provide accountability,
improve programs, expand practicebased evidence, and demonstrate health
outcomes. An important component of
assessing efficiency and effectiveness of
the program is examining synergy.
Synergy occurs when collaboration,
coordination, alignment, and a
combination of inputs and activities
(i.e., the assets and skills of all the
participating partners) produce outputs
and outcomes greater than those that
would have occurred if they had been
used separately. The proposed strategies
are intentionally aligned to attain
greater success in achieving measurable
outcomes that speak to the aims of each
categorical area and the program as a
whole. CDC proposes to conduct an
assessment to better understand synergy

11798

within and across State Public Health
Actions 1305 funded programs.
The assessment is guided by three
process-related research questions and
multiple indicators designed to examine
changes in processes, organizational
structure, and capacity. It will also
examine states’ ability to implement a
coordinated approach across the
different chronic disease areas and the
four domains; challenges and benefits;
and measurable positive outcomes. The
research questions include: (1) What
changes did States make to create
greater synergy?, (2) To what extent
were redundancies reduced or
eliminated at the State level?, and (3)
How has coordination with critical
partners changed since the
implementation of State Public Health
Actions 1305?

from each funded program for a total of
approximately 408 respondents.
CDC will use survey findings to (1)
inform future CDC technical assistance
provision to State Public Health Actions
1305 funded programs, and (2) inform
future cross-cutting, coordinated
funding models. In addition, findings
will complement existing routine
reporting by gathering information
about the specific processes that support
program implementation plans.
Findings will be disseminated via
grantee webinars, grantee annual
meetings, reports to CDC leadership,
and U.S. Congressional reports.
OMB approval is requested for 2
years. Participation is voluntary and
respondents will not receive incentives
for participation. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

CDC plans to administer a web-based
survey to health departments receiving
funding through the State Public Health
Actions 1305 cooperative agreement,
including 50 states and the District of
Columbia. CDC plans to administer the
survey in 2016 (program year 4) and
2018 (program year 5) to explore
changes in partnerships and synergy
throughout the 5-year cooperative
agreement. Surveys will be
administered to health department staff
directly involved in planning and/or
implementation of the State Public
Health Actions 1305 program, including
principal investigators, chronic disease
directors, program evaluators,
epidemiologists, and program staff with
subject matter expertise in one or more
of the four categorical areas. CDC will
recruit approximately 8 individuals
