Abstract: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ), requests approval of a new information collection on Cause-Specific Absenteeism in Schools. This information collection aims to improve our understanding of the role of cause-specific absenteeism in schools in predicting community-wide influenza transmission. We will obtain information on how influenza spreads among children in school and between children and the community. This will lead to greater accuracy in determining where, when, and for how long to implement school-related influenza mitigation measures. Insights gained from this information collection will be used to strengthen the evidence-base of CDC's Pre-Pandemic Guidance prior to next pandemic.
