Evaluation Data Elements: Definitions and Guidance

Public reporting burden of this collection of information is estimated to average one hour per response for the submission of Evaluation Data, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC Reports Clearance Officer; 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS D-74, Atlanta, Georgia 30333; ATTN: PRA (0920-0909)

Evaluation Data Elements

1. Participant ID Will be assigned by the applicant organization to uniquely identify and track participants across sessions. Must be included on all session attendance records generated for an individual participant. The Participant ID should not be based on social security number or other IIF.

2. Participant’s Prediabetes Determination Should be recorded at enrollment and included on all session attendance records generated for an individual participant. Indicates whether a participant’s prediabetes status was determined by a blood-based diagnostic test, by a previous diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), or by screening positive on the CDC Prediabetes Screening Test (see appendix B). Multiple responses are allowed. This element requires responses for five fields (refer to Table 2, the data dictionary).

3. Participant’s Age Should be recorded at enrollment and included on all session attendance records generated for an individual participant. Should be recorded to the nearest whole year.

4. Participant’s Ethnicity Should be recorded at enrollment and included on all session attendance records generated for an individual participant. The participant should self-identify and have the opportunity to choose one of the following: "Hispanic or Latino" or "Not Hispanic or Latino.”

5. Participant’s Race Should be recorded at enrollment and included on all session attendance records generated for an individual participant. The participant should self-identify and have the opportunity to choose one or more of the following: American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and White. Multiple responses are allowed. This element requires responses for five fields (refer to Table 2, the data dictionary).

6. Participant’s Sex Should be recorded at enrollment and included on all session attendance records generated for an individual participant. The data record should indicate male or female.

7. Participant’s Height Should be recorded at enrollment and included on all session attendance records generated for an individual participant. Height may be self-reported (i.e., it is not necessary to measure the participant’s height; the participant may simply be asked, “What is your height” or “How tall are you?”). Participant’s height should be recorded in inches.

8. Organization Code Will be assigned by CDC after the DPRP application is received and prior to the first data transmission. Each DPRP applicant will have a unique organization code. Should be included by the applicant organization on all data records submitted.

9. Location Code Will be assigned by the applicant organization to uniquely identify each venue or location used to conduct the applicant’s lifestyle intervention program sessions. The location code will indicate the venue used for each session.

10. Core Group Code Will be assigned by the applicant organization to uniquely identify each lifestyle intervention class (set of core program sessions).

11. Session Date Each time a participant attends a session, the actual date of the session should be recorded. The date should be recorded in mm/dd/yyyy format.

12. Lifestyle Coach ID Will be assigned by the applicant organization to uniquely identify each lifestyle coach conducting lifestyle intervention sessions for the applicant organization. The Lifestyle Coach ID should not be based on social security number or other IIF.

13. Participant’s Weight Each time a participant attends a core or post-core session, his or her body weight will be measured and recorded to the nearest whole pound. The weight must be included on the record for that participant and session. If a participant is pregnant, her data will not be included when calculating average weight loss (see data dictionary for the appropriate code.)

14. Participant’s Physical Activity Minutes At some or all program sessions, participants will be asked to report the number of minutes of brisk physical activity completed during the preceding week. This information should be included on the record for that participant and session. If physical activity monitoring has not yet begun in the curriculum, this element may be coded “monitoring not begun in curriculum.” If physical activity is not recorded for any other reason (e.g., if physical activity monitoring is not done during the post-core phase), the default code should be used. (Refer to the data dictionary for the appropriate codes.)

15. Session Type This element will identify the session attended as a scheduled core session, a makeup session (attended to make up for a missed core session), or a post-core session.

16. Session ID This element will identify the session attended as one of the core sessions (numbered 1 through 16) or as a post-core session (coded as “999”).
