Proposed Project
Economic Analysis of the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early
Detection Program (NBCCEDP)--New--National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCDDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC-funded National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection
Program (NBCCEDP) is the largest organized cancer screening program in
the United States. The NBCCEDP provides critical breast and cervical
cancer screening services to underserved women through grants to 50
states, the District of Columbia, 4 U.S. territories, and 13 American
Indian/Alaska Native organizations. In the past decade, the NBCCEDP has
provided over 7.2 million breast and cervical cancer screening and
diagnostic exams to over 3 million low-income women. Women diagnosed
with cancer through the program are eligible for Medicaid coverage
through the Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention
[[Page 67941]]
and Treatment Act passed by Congress in 2000.
CDC proposes to collect one year of cost data from all 68 NBCCEDP
grantees in order to conduct the first systematic, activity-based
analysis of the costs and cost-effectiveness of the NBCCEDP. The
information required to perform an activity-based cost analysis
includes: Staff and consultant salaries, screening costs, contracts and
material costs, provider payments, in-kind contributions,
administrative costs, allocation of funds, and staff time devoted to
specific program activities. Data will be collected electronically via
a Web-based Cost Assessment Tool (CAT).
CDC will use information collected through the CAT to assess the
costs of various program components, identify factors that impact
average cost, perform cost-effectiveness analysis, and to develop a
resource allocation tool for ensuring the most appropriate use of
limited program resources.
NBCCEDP grantees currently report information on screening and
diagnosis volumes (the effectiveness measures for the program) as part
of the Minimum Data Elements (MDE)/System for Technical Assistance
Reporting (STAR) (OMB 0920-0571, exp. 1/31/2010). Information to be
collected through the CAT will complement information currently
collected through the MDE/STAR.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are 1,496.
