State and local health authorities
frequently call upon CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention
and Control (NCIPC) to assist in their response to urgent public
health problems resulting from drug use, misuse, abuse, and
overdose. When called, NCIPC supports the states and local health
authorities by conducting Drug Overdose Response Investigations
(DORI), which entails a rapid and flexible epidemiological
response. Urgent requests such as DORIs depend on the time and
resources available, number of persons involved, and other
circumstances unique to the urgent conditions at hand and usually
involve the development of procedures, specific data collection
instruments, and the collection of critical data. This request is
for a new generic approval to conduct information collections
during DORIs. A three-year clearance is requested to ensure: (1)
rapid deployment data collection tools and (2) timely information
collection of vital information. Of particular interest is response
to increasing trends in, or changing characteristics of, overdose
from prescription drugs (with a special interest in opioid
analgesics such as oxycodone or methadone; benzodiazepines such as
alprazolam) and/or illicit drugs (e.g., heroin). Specifically, this
request covers investigative collections with the following aims:
(1) To understand sudden increases in drug use and misuse
associated with fatal and nonfatal overdoses; (2) to understand the
drivers and risk factors associated with those trends; and (3) to
identify the groups most affected. This will allow CDC to
effectively advise states on recommended actions to control local
epidemics. Thus, the ultimate goals of these collections are to
minimize adverse health consequences, provide epidemiological data
collection support to the states and, based on the findings from
the investigation, appropriately assist with implementation of
prevention and control measures. This submission is being made to
extend the approval period for three additional years.
