Awardee Lead Profile Assessment (ALPA) (Email Survey – MS Word)


Form Approved

OMB No. 0920-1215

Expiration Date 02/28/2020

Below is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) annual assessment for state and local childhood lead poisoning prevention programs (CLPPPs).

You have been asked to take part in this assessment as a state or local public official operating in your official capacity as decision-maker within a CLPPP.

The purpose of the assessment is to identify 1) jurisdictional legal frameworks governing CDC-funded CLPPPs in the United States, and 2) strategies for implementing childhood lead poisoning prevention activities in the United States.

This information collection will allow the CDC CLPPP to identify specific factors that may support or hinder the efforts of public health agencies engaged in lead poisoning prevention. The information collection will inform guidance, resource development, and technical assistance activities the CDC CLPPP conducts in support of the ultimate goal of lead elimination. Assessment findings will be shared with key stakeholders, placed on CDC’s CLPPP website, and used to respond to inquiries by the public, media, and Congress.

The data will be kept secure throughout the analysis and reporting process.

This assessment should take no more than 47 minutes to complete. You may stop taking the assessment and finish it at a later time. To re-enter the web survey, the tool will provide you with a unique link and passcode for return access. Please refer to the Awardee Lead Profile Assessment (ALPA) training manual for instructions on answering each question. Each text box has a character limit of 200 characters.

Please complete the assessment by [SPECIFIC DATE TO BE PROVIDED – 2 WEEKS AFTER THE SURVEY IS SENT OUT].

Participation is required for satisfactory performance. No individually identifiable information will be requested.

If you have programmatic questions, you can contact CDC CLPPP via your Project Officer.

ᴏ I agree to participate in the assessment.

ᴏ I do not agree to participate in the assessment. (END OF ASSESSMENT)


CDC estimates the average public reporting burden for this collection of information as 47 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data/information sources, gathering and maintaining the data/information 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 burden to CDC/ATSDR Information Collection Review Office, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS D-74, Atlanta, Georgia 30333; ATTN: PRA (0920-1215).
