CDC requests OMB approval for 11 additional data elements that align with the current purpose and scope of existing WISEWOMAN data elements. The additional MDE will strengthen: ⢠Program fidelity: Proposed additional elements will involve ascertaining social needs and will help decipher ways to mitigate barriers that are preventing active participation in the WISEWOMAN program. These proposed changes will improve CDCâs ability to improve CVD risk analysis and program efficacy. ⢠Data Quality: Proposed changes to MDEs provide companion data to existing data elements to provide a more complete picture for underserved women in the WISEWOMAN Program. This request is a refinement of our current data approach of continuously serving underserved populations and also in line with HHSâs current health equity goals.

This request is a refinement of our current data approach of continuously serving underserved populations and also in line with HHSâs current health equity goals. The additional data element and refinement of an existing data element emanate from the upcoming cooperative agreement (CDC-RFA-DP-23-0003) that was published in late March and application process is ongoing. This additional MDE and refinement of an existing MDE will help improve analytical utility, program fidelity, and data quality and will have negligible impact on burden hours. Overall, if approved the total number of MDEs will be 71. CDC is submitting this change request to OMB to provide Minimum Data Elements implementation guidance to programs for the new program year, which begins at the end of September 2023. The change in burden with the addition of one MDE and minor revision of an existing MDE question in non-substantive. Only the total estimated annualized burden hours are being updated to reflect 40 programs.
