Proposed Project
The National YRBS Test-Retest
Reliability Study—New—National
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis,
STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this request is to
obtain OMB approval to conduct the
National YRBS Test-Retest Reliability
Study to establish the reliability of the
national Youth Risk Behavior Survey
(‘‘YRBS’’) questionnaire.
The YRBS assesses priority health risk
behaviors related to the major
preventable causes of mortality,
morbidity, and social problems among

school health programs nationwide.
CDC seeks a one-year approval to
conduct the National YRBS Test-Retest
Reliability Study.
Between September and December of
2021, a sample of 2,000 students from
20 regular public secondary schools in
the U.S. containing at least one of grades
nine through 12 will be selected in no
more than 20 districts. This sample is
expected to yield at least 1,000
participating students who completed
both a Time 1 and Time 2 YRBS
questionnaire.
The table below reports the number of
respondents annualized over the oneyear project period. There are no costs
to respondents except their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 1,696.

both youth and young adults in the
United States. Data on health risk
behaviors of adolescents are the focus of
approximately 65 national health
objectives in Healthy People 2030, an
initiative of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS). The
YRBS provides data to measure 13 of
the proposed health objectives and one
of the Leading Health Indicators
currently under public comment to
establish Healthy People 2030
objectives. In addition, the YRBS can
identify racial and ethnic disparities in
health risk behaviors. No other national
source of data measures as many of the
Healthy People 2030 objectives
addressing adolescent health risk
behaviors as the YRBS. The data also
will have significant implications for
policy and program development for

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 the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project
Assessments of adults’ professional
experiences for improving programs to
decrease sexual risk and related
behaviors and adverse health outcomes
among youth—New—Division of
Adolescent and School Health (DASH),

Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) requests approval for
a new generic information collection
package that supports collection of
quantitative and qualitative information
from adults who help implement
programs and services designed to
prevent HIV, other sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs), and pregnancy or
influence related risk and protective
factors; data will be collected for needs
assessment and program refinement.
The National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP) conducts the assessment of
program practices and health services to
reduce sexual risk behaviors among
adolescents and reduce adverse health
outcomes of those risk behaviors.
NCHHSTP conducts behavioral and
health service assessments and research
projects as part of its response to the
domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic, STD
prevention, TB elimination and viral
hepatitis control with national, state,
and local partners. Adolescents are a
population with specific developmental,
health and social, and resource needs.
Their health risk factors and access to
health care is addressed as a primary
mission by the Division of Adolescent
and School Health (DASH), and
adolescents are a population of interest
for several other NCHHSTP divisions.
The assessment and research conducted
by NCHHSTP is one pillar upon which
recommendations and guidelines are
revised and updated. Recommendations
and guidelines for adolescent sexual
risk reduction require a foundation of
scientific evidence. Assessment of
programmatic practices for adolescents
helps improve programs through better
identification of strategies relevant to
adolescents as a population as well as
specific sub-groups of adolescents at
highest risk for HIV and other STDs so
that programs can be better tailored
specifically for them.
Participants in data collection include
adults (over 18 years old) who help
implement or oversee programs to
prevent HIV, other sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs), and pregnancy among
youth or influence related risk and
protective factors. These participants
may include adults in roles such as:
• School staff and administrators
• Staff in state and local education
agencies
• Staff in state and local health agencies
• Staff in youth-serving community and
national non-governmental
organizations
• Community-based health care
providers for adolescents
• School-based health care providers for
students

The types of information collection
activities included in this generic
package are:
(1) Quantitative data collection
conducted in-person on remotely
through electronic (via computers,
tablets, other mobile devices, etc.),
telephone, or paper questionnaires to
gather information about programmatic
and service activities related to sexual
risk reduction or related adverse health
outcomes among youth. Questions relate
to work-related experiences, training,
context, duties, activities, and youths’
health and service needs. Information
may also be gathered on program
implementers’ demographic and social
characteristics, program-related
knowledge, attitudes, skills, and
implementation practices.
(2) Qualitative data collection inperson or remotely through electronic,
telephone, or paper means to gather
information about program and service
activities related to sexual risk
reduction or prevention of related
adverse health outcomes among youth.
Qualitative data collection may involve
focus groups and/or in-depth individual
or group interviews. Interview and focus
group guides may include questions
about work-related experiences,
training, context, duties, activities, and
youths’ health and service needs.
Information may also be gathered on
program implementers’ demographic
and social characteristics, programrelated knowledge, attitudes, skills, and
implementation practices. For
adolescents, data collection instruments
will include questions on demographic
characteristics; experiences with
programs and services to reduce the risk
of HIV and other STD transmission; and
knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and
skills related to sexual risk and
protective factors on the individual,
interpersonal, and community levels.
The participants for this data
collection are considered to be the
‘‘implementers’’ of the types of
programs that are funded by CDC/
DASH. Typically, CDC/DASH programs
are intended to have direct impact on
proximal indicators such as sexual
health-related knowledge, attitudes,
perceptions, and behaviors among
youth, and although CDC/DASH
programs are typically set in schools,
they can be implemented by adults who
working in a variety of school,
community, and health-care roles.
Any data collection request put
forward under this generic clearance
will identify the programs and/or
services to be informed or refined with
the information from the collection and
will include a cross-walk of data
elements to the aspects of the program

33676

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 106 / Tuesday, June 2, 2020 / Notices

the project team seeks to inform or
refine. Because this request includes a
wide range of possible data collection
instruments, specific requests will
include items of information to be
collected and copies of data collection
instruments. It is expected that all data
collection instruments will be pilottested, and will be culturally
appropriate for the intended
populations. All data collection
procedures will receive review and
approval by an Institutional Review

Board (IRB) for the Protection of Human
Subjects and follow appropriate consent
and assent procedures as outlined in the
IRB-approved protocols and these will
be described in the individual
information collection requests put
forward under this generic package.
Participation of respondents is
voluntary. There is no cost to the
participants other than their time.
The table below provides the
estimated annualized response burden
for up to 20 individual data collections

per year under this generic clearance at
58,500 hours annually. Average burden
per response is based on pilot testing
and timing of quantitative and
qualitative instrument administration
during previous studies. Response times
include the time to read and respond to
consent forms and to read or listen to
instructions. The proposed information
collections combine for a total estimated
annualized burden of up to 60,000
hours for respondents.
