Proposed Data Collection; Comment Request; California Health
Interview Survey 2007
Summary: 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, National Cancer Institute
(NCI), the National Institute of Health (NIH) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
The first California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) Cancer Control
Module (CCM) took place in 2001 (2000 CHIS CCM, OMB No. 0925-0478,
Federal Register, May 8, 2000, Vol. 65, No. 89, p. 26620). The second
survey took place in 2003 (2003 CHIS CCM, OMB No. 0925-0518, Federal
Register, October 3, 2002, Volume 67, No. 192, pp. 62067-62068) and the
third in 2005 (2005 CHIS CCM, OMB No. 0925-0000, Federal Register, Vol.
69, No. 150, Aug. 5, 2004, pp. 47450-47451, and Federal Register, Vol.
70, No. 1, Jan. 3, 2005, pp. 93-94).
Proposed Collection: Title: California Health Interview Survey
(CHIS) 2007 Cancer Control Module (CCM). Type of Information Collection
Request: New. Need and Use of Information Collection: The NCI has
sponsored three Cancer Control Modules in the California Health
Interview Survey (CHIS), and will be sponsoring a fourth to be
administered in 2007. Other Federal government agencies have co-
sponsored previous cycles of the survey.
The CHIS is a telephone survey designed to provide population-
based, standardized health-related data to assess California's progress
in meeting Healthy People 2010 objectives for the nation and the state.
The CHIS sample is designed to provide statistically reliable estimates
statewide, for California counties, and for California's ethnically and
racially diverse population. Initiated by the UCLA Center for Health
Policy Research, the California Department of Health Services, and the
California Public Health Institute, the survey is funded by a number of
public and private sources. It was first administered in 2001 to 55,428
adults, 5,801 adolescents, and 12,802 children; subsequently in 2003 to
42,043 adults, 4,010 adolescents, and 8,502 children; and in 2005 to
43,020 adults, 4,029 adolescents, and 11,358 children. These
individuals are a representative sample of California's non-
institutionalized population living in households.
CHIS 2007, the fourth bi-annual survey, is planned for
administration to 48,000 adult Californians. The cancer control module,
which is similar to that administered in CHIS 2001, CHIS 2003, and CHIS
2005, will allow NCI and other Federal agencies to examine various
health- and disease-related topics. Examples include patterns and (when
fielded in multiple years) trends in breast cancer screening, diet,
physical activity, obesity, tobacco control and other disease risk
factors, disease outcomes, discrimination, and neighborhood cohesion.
Because California is the most populous and the most racially and
ethnically diverse state in the nation, the CHIS 2007 sample will yield
adequate numbers of respondents in key ethnic and racial groups,
including African Americans, Latinos, Asians, and American Indian/
Alaska Natives. The Latino group will include large numbers of
respondents in the Mexican, Central American, South American, and other
Latino subgroups; the Asian group will include large numbers of
respondents in the Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Korean
subgroups. NCI and other Federal agencies will use the California and
National Health Interview Survey (CHIS, NHIS) data to conduct
comparative analyses and better estimate cancer risk factors and
screening among racial/ethnic minority populations. The CHIS sample
size also permits NCI and other federal agencies to obtain estimates
for ethnic subdomains of the population, for which NHIS has
insufficient numbers for analysis.
Frequency of Response: One-time. Affected public: Individuals or
households. Types of Respondents: U.S. adults (persons 18 years of age
and older) and adolescents (persons of age 12-17 for whom the adult
respondent is the parent or legal guardian of the adolescent residing
in the household).
The annual reporting burden is as follows.

Request for Comments: Written comments and/or suggestions from the
public and affected agencies are invited on one or more of the
following points: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proposed performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information shall have practical utility; (2) The
accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the
[[Page 53457]]
information to be collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including the
use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.
