Section 527.
Title: Eating Disorders in Veterans:
Prevalence, Comorbidity, Risk, and
Healthcare Use.
OMB Control Number: 2900—NEW.
Type of Review: New collection.
Abstract: Eating disorders (EDs),
including anorexia nervosa, bulimia
nervosa, and binge eating disorder, are
deadly conditions that can be difficult
to detect and treat. EDs are typically not
screened for or treated within the VA
healthcare system, possibly because
many people believe that since Veterans
are mostly male, they are not affected by
these disorders. The Department of
Defense recently put out a call for grants
to investigate EDs in military service
members and Veterans, and our
proposal is currently under review. Our
proposal also aligns with VA Health
Services Research & Development
funding Priority F (Women’s Health) for
Investigator-Initiated Research, which
emphasizes investigating the unique
needs of female Veterans. EDs are an
issue for male and female Veterans;

however, they disproportionately
impact women. Third, our aims address
the recommendations of the 2012
Women Veterans Task Force to resolve
gaps in serving women Veterans.

I, Chapter 5, Section 527 that authorizes
the collection of data that will allow
measurement and evaluation of the
Department of Veterans Affairs
Programs, the goal of which is improved
health care for Veterans.

Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: In 1993 the Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) launched Project
CHALENG (Community Homelessness
Assessment, Local Education and
Networking Groups) for Veterans in
response to Public Law 102–405 which
required VA to make an assessment of
the needs of homeless Veterans in
coordination with other Federal
departments, state and local government
agencies, and nongovernmental agencies
with experience working with homeless
persons. Since 1993, VA has
administered a needs assessment in
accordance with guidance in Public Law
103–446 and Public Law 105–114.
This collection of information is
necessary to ensure that VA and
community partners are developing
services that are responsive to the needs
of local homeless Veterans, in order to
end homelessness and prevent new
Veterans from experiencing
homelessness. Over the years, data from
CHALENG has assisted VA in
developing new services for Veterans
such as the Homeless Veteran Dental
Program (HVDP), the expansion of the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development-VA Supportive Housing
(HUD–VASH) Program, the Veterans
Justice Programs and Supportive
Services for Veteran Families (SSVF). In
addition, community organizations use
CHALENG data in grant applications to
support services for homeless Veterans;
grant applications are for VA, other
Federal, local government, and
community foundation dollars, which
maximize community participation in
serving homeless Veterans.
An agency may not conduct or
