    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information collection request titled “School Health Profiles Test-Retest Reliability Study” to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously published a “Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations” notice on March 16, 2020 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received two comments related to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days for public and affected agency comments.Start Printed Page 55459

    Proposed Project

    School Health Profiles Test-Retest Reliability Study—New—National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

    Background and Brief Description

    The purpose of this request is to obtain OMB approval to conduct the School Health Profiles Test-Retest Reliability Study to establish the reliability of the School Health Profiles (“Profiles”). Profiles is a system of school-based surveys conducted by state and local education and health agencies among school principals and lead health education teachers at the secondary school level to assess school health policies and practices related to health education, physical education and physical activity, tobacco use prevention, nutrition, school-based health services, family and community involvement in school health, and school health coordination. CDC seeks a one-year approval to conduct the School Health Profiles Test-Retest Reliability Study.

    Profiles surveys are administered widely. In 2018, 48 states, 21 large urban school districts, and two territories conducted School Health Profiles. Across all of these jurisdictions, questionnaires were completed by approximately 10,000 principals and by approximately 9,000 lead health education teachers. States and large urban school districts use Profiles as a data source for performance measures for two CDC cooperative agreements: CDC-RFA-PS18-1807, Promoting Adolescent Health Through School-Based HIV Prevention (PS18-1807), and CDC-RFA-DP18-1801 Improving Student Health and Academic Achievement Through Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Management of Chronic Conditions in Schools (DP18-1801). No other surveillance system measures school health policies and programs nationwide.

    Between January and June of 2021, approximately 200 principals and 200 lead health education teachers from regular public secondary schools in the United States containing at least one of grades 6 through 12 will complete both a Time 1 and Time 2 Profiles questionnaire. Five questions will be added at the end of both the principal and lead health education teacher questionnaires at the Time 2 administration to gather data on why responses to the same questions may have changed or stayed the same between the two administrations.

    There are no costs to respondents except their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 686. OMB approval is requested for one year. Participation is voluntary.
