The purpose of this data collection is
to follow-up with and assess newly-arrived persons in the United
States who received overseas tuberculosis classifications in order
to assist in the national effort to prevent new transmission of TB.
The information collected by The EDN Tuberculosis Follow-Up
Worksheet for Newly-Arrived Persons with Overseas Tuberculosis
Classifications, also commonly known as the TB Follow-Up Worksheet,
will provide outcomes for improving national TB prevention
programs. The Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ)
staff, along with other federal partners will use this information
to assess overseas panel physician performance, overseas prevention
activities, and TB control program performance in the United
States. Specifically, to improve overseas panel physician
performance and TB prevention activities, CDC needs information on
the U.S. domestic chest x-rays, chest x-ray comparison sputum smear
and culture, and diagnosis results along with U.S. domestic reviews
of overseas treatment. To monitor and assess U.S. domestic TB
program performance, CDC needs to collect data on all elements of
TB U.S. domestic follow-up evaluations, including chest x-rays,
diagnosis, and U.S. treatment outcomes. This Non-Substantive Change
Request is submitted to make minor modifications that do not alter
the overall scope of the currently approved collection.
Additionally, there is no change in burden associated to
respondents.
