Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects.
To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a
copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call 404-639-5960 or
send comments to Maryam I Daneshvar, CDC Acting Reports Clearance
Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS-D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other

Proposed Project
Evaluation of health communication messages for Infertility
Prevention Campaign--New--National Center for HIV, Hepatitis, Sexually
Transmitted Disease Prevention, and Tuberculosis Prevent (NCHHSTP),
Division of Sexually Transmitted Disease Prevention (DSTDP), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Chlamydia is among the leading causes of pelvic inflammatory
disease (PID), which can lead to infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and
chronic pelvic pain. Most cases of Chlamydia are asymptomatic so
infected girls and women are unaware of their infections. CDC estimates
that in 2005, young women aged 15 to 19 years had the highest Chlamydia
rate, i.e. 2,797 infected persons per 100,000 populations, followed by
women aged 20 to 24 where the rate was 2,691 infected persons per
100,000 population. These rates are likely to be underestimates,
because many infected persons do not seek medical care and testing.
Data at CDC suggest that Chlamydia develops into PID in up to 40% of
untreated women and that 12% of women are infertile after their first
experience with PID.
[[Page 61170]]
CDC plans to obtain public preferences for the framing and
dissemination of Chlamydia information that will guide CDC in
developing and testing health communication messages about Chlamydia
with girls/women in the following age groups: 15-17 year olds who
attend school (n = 54) and, 15-17 year olds who do not attend school (n
= 18), totaling 72. 18-25 years who are employed (n = 27) and, 18-25
year olds who attend school full time (n = 27), totaling 54. We will
also include parents of girls 15-17 years old (n = 72). We will
interview 126 respondents from the screened groups. We will recruit
participants throughout the United States and conduct interviews by
telephone or in person at local pre-determined focus group facility.
There are no costs to the respondents other than their time.
