-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, to provide a 60-day advance opportunity for
public comment on proposed information collection projects, the Indian
Health Service (IHS) is publishing for comment a summary of a proposed
information collection to be submitted to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review.
Proposed Collection
Title: Hoz'ho'nii: An Intervention to Increase Breast and Cervical
Cancer Screening Among Navajo Women.
Type of Information Collection Request: Previously Approved
Collection.
Form Number: None.
Need and Use of the Information Collection: The information is
needed to evaluate a culturally appropriate educational outreach
program designed to increase breast and cervical cancer screening among
Navajo women ages 20 and older. The purpose is to identify barriers
that may prevent Navajo women from participating in breast and cervical
cancer screening by comparing changes in knowledge, attitudes, and
behaviors of three study groups; educational outreach only, education
outreach plus chapter-based clinic, and a control group. Results will
be used to assess the impact of the impact of the educational outreach
program, improve breast and cervical cancer screening, and to guide the
IHS and Tribal health programs in the delivery of culturally
appropriate intervention to reduce mortality rates from breast and
cervical cancer among Navajo women.
Affected Public: Individuals.
