Proposed Collection; Comment Request; NIH-American Association
for Retired Persons (AARP) Comprehensive Lifestyle Interview by
Computer (CLIC) Study (NCI)
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, the National Cancer Institute
(NCI), the National Institutes 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.
Proposed Collection: Title: NIH-American Association for Retired
Persons (AARP) Comprehensive Lifestyle Interview by Computer (CLIC)
Study. Type of Information Collection Request: New. Need and Use of
Information Collection: The Nutritional Epidemiology Branch of the
Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics of the National Cancer
Institute has planned this study to evaluate the feasibility of using
these three new computerized questionnaires as well as the Diet and
Health Questionnaire (DHQ), a well-established food frequency
questionnaire in a population of early-to-late-middle-aged men and
women. Participants will be asked to complete one of four different
series (pathways) of computerized questionnaires over a 90 day period,
with some questionnaires in a series being completed twice. This
evaluation study comprises the necessary performance and feasibility
tests for the new computerized questionnaires, which will provide an
opportunity to assess the possibility of administering
[[Page 32718]]
computerized questionnaires in future large prospective cohort studies.
The computerized questionnaires will support the ongoing examination
between cancer and other health outcomes with nutritional, physical
activity, and lifestyle exposures. The computerized questionnaires
adhere to The Public Health Service Act, Section 412 (42 U.S.C. 285a-1)
and Section 413 (42 U.S.C. 285a-2), which authorizes the Division of
Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics of the National Cancer Institute (NCI)
to establish and support programs for the detection, diagnosis,
prevention and treatment of cancer; and to collect, identify, analyze
and disseminate information on cancer research, diagnosis, prevention
and treatment. Frequency of Response: Either 2 or 4 times, depending on
the pathway. Affected Public: Individuals. Type of Respondents: U.S.
adults (aged 50 and over). The annual reporting burden is displayed in
the table below. The estimated total annualized burden hours being
requested is 2616. The annualized cost to respondents is estimated at:
$46,242. There are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs, and/or
Maintenance Costs to report.
