Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of information collection requests under review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 6395960 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC or by fax to (202) 3955806. Written comments should be received within 30 days of this notice. Proposed Project
Program Effectiveness Evaluation of Workplace Intervention for
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)[OMB
Background and Brief Description
Intimate partner violence (IPV) affects a substantial number of
Americans, and there has recently been increasing recognition of the
impact it has on the workplace. In addition to direct impacts (batterers often stalk or even attack IPV
[[Page 54830]]
victims at their place of work), IPV has indirect impacts on the
workplace environment through lost productivity due to medical leave,
absenteeism, and fear and distraction on the part of victims and
coworkers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
contracted with RTI International (RTI) to evaluate an ongoing
workplace IPV prevention program being implemented at a national
corporation. The purpose of the proposed evaluation is to document in
detail the workplace IPV prevention activities delivered by the
company, to determine the impact of these activities on shortterm and
longterm outcomes, and to determine the costeffectiveness of the
program. All managers at the corporate office of the corporation have
been screened to assess training experiences. More indepth surveys
were conducted with managers who had not completed the corporation's
IPV training. We have surveyed managers at baseline, and 6 months
later. Manager surveys focus on knowledge/awareness of IPV and company
resources for IPV and number of referrals for IPV assistance. This
extension is requested to cover the 12month followup administration
of this survey. Due to unexpected delays at the evaluation site and an
inability to field the 6month follow up survey with managers when
originally scheduled, we will need to push the timeline for 12month follow up back approximately 3 months.
We have also surveyed employees of those managers who completed the baseline survey using an anonymous Webbased survey at baseline. These employees will also be surveyed 12 months later (during the extension period) to assess their selfevaluated productivity, absenteeism, and perceptions of manager behavior. We will compare the responses of managers (and their employees) who received the IPV training in the study period (i.e., sometime between the baseline and 12 month surveys) with untrained managers. The study will provide CDC and employers information about the potential effectiveness and costeffectiveness of workplace IPV intervention strategies.
There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate in the interview. The estimated total annualized burden hours are 1125. Estimated Annualized Burden Hours Number of Average burden Respondents Number of responses per per response respondents respondent (in hours) Manager......................................................... 500 3 30/60 Employee........................................................ 1500 1 15/60
