Proposed Collection: Comment Request; Survey of Family
Physician's Use of Genomic Information in Primary Care
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
Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), 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: Survey of Family Physician's Use of
Genomic Information in Primary Care. Type of Information Collection
Request: New. Need and Use of Information Collection: The information
collected via an on-line survey questionnaire will assist us to gain an
understanding of the factors that influence American Academy of Family
Physicians (AAFP) members to participate in the utilization of
educational modules and about factors that explain any differences seen
among healthcare providers in their propensity to integrate genomics
into practice. Frequency of Response: Prior to implementation of a year
long on-line genomic curriculum, a one time baseline online survey will
be requested of a randomly selected and representative sample of AAFP
members. A sub-set of these providers registered or not registered for
the web-based curriculum will comprise a cohort who will be asked to
complete a pre-test survey prior to launching of the first module, and
then again a post-test at the completion of the educational
intervention. Affected Public: Members of the AAFP. Type of
Respondents: Physicians. Estimated Number of Respondents: 5000 members
will be invited to participate. A sub-set of 500 will be requested to
participate in pre/post-test surveys. Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: The majority of respondents will have one response per
respondent; maximum of three. Average Burden Hours Per Response: The
majority of respondents will have an average burden of one hour per
response. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: The majority
of respondents will have a total annual burden of one hour requested;
maximum of three. Costs: There are no maintenance, operating, or
capital costs.
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) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the function of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) Evaluate 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) Enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4) 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.

proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and
instruments, contact Dr. Colleen McBride, Chief, Social and Behavioral
