Foodborne outbreaks of cyclosporiasis have been reported in the United States since the mid-1990s and have been linked to various types of fresh produce. It is likely that more cases (and outbreaks) occurred than were reported; in addition, because of insufficient data, many of the reported cases could not be directly linked to an outbreak or to a particular food vehicle. The Cyclosporiasis National Hypothesis Generating Questionnaire (CNHGQ) was developed to capture information from case-patients that is pertinent to Cyclospora and fresh produce vehicles of infection to aid in the investigation and detection of outbreaks.

This request is for the addition of 6 new disease-specific data elements and 1 new optional data element, modifications of 23 data elements, and deletion of 7 data elements. The questionnaire was revised to improve clarity, ease of use, and data quality. The changes result in an increase of 1 minute to the interview portion of the instrument (total of 17 annualized burden hours). There is no change to the estimated number of respondents.
