11 Describe the purpose of the system.

Evaluation data will be collected through 2 paper-based forms:
a workshop evaluation form and a questionnaire. Data will
then be entered into Excel with no identifiable information
included.
N/A, this is a new data collection.
CDC will collect information from participants in workshops
aimed at teaching adults with chronic diseases how to manage
those conditions in the US Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPIs),
which include American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of
the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of Palau, the
Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Federated States of
Micronesia. These jurisdictions began implementing the
workshops using Stanford University's Chronic Disease SelfManagement Program (CDSMP) curriculum in 2016.
Participants will provide their assessment of the workshop and
answer questionnaires to measure changes in their responses
from pre-workshop to post-workshop.
CDC will collect this information to understand how CDSMP is
being implemented in the region, to identify barriers and
facilitators to implementation, document any adaptations to
the curriculum made by the USAPIs, and the effects of the
program on program participants. Collecting these data will
help CDC understand if CDSMP, as implemented in the USAPIs,
has the same effect there as it has in other ethnic groups within
the United States.
Two paper-based data collection instruments will be used. The
first is a CDSMP workshop evaluation form that will assess
program participant satisfaction with CDSMP. A paper
evaluation form will be administered to all participants at the
end of the 6 week workshop. No identifying information will
be collected. Results will be used to assess satisfaction with
the delivery of CDSMP and to identify ways to improve the
delivery of CDSMP.

Describe the type of information the system will

end of the 6 week workshop. The paper questionnaire will be
administered at the start the program and the same
questionnaire will be administered at the end of the 6 week
workshop to compare information. These questionnaires
include the participant name. The name will be redacted and
replaced with a unique identification number. Questionnaire
items include demographics such as age group, race/ethnicity,
education, language, and marital status.

Questionnaires will be administered on paper to workshop
participants at the first and last session by the CDSMP
workshop leaders. The paper questionnaires will be
transmitted to CDC. CDC will enter the questionnaire
responses into Excel for analysis. The information transmitted
to, and entered by, CDC will not include any personal
identifiers.

Provide an overview of the system and describe the
13 information it will collect, maintain (store), or share,
either permanently or temporarily.

Names will be collected on the pre/post questionnaires;
however, names will be redacted by the CDSMP workshop
leaders and replaced by unique identifiers on each
questionnaire, prior to sending copies of the questionnaires to
CDC. Survey administrators will keep a log of participant
names and identifiers, separately from the questionnaires. The
unique identifier will be used to match pre/post questionnaires
so that change can be assessed. CDC will not receive names or
the log. The questionnaires will be temporarily stored, for up
to 3 years. They will be destroyed when no longer needed
after analyses are completed.
These data will be analyzed to evaluate the fidelity to the
curriculum as designed by Stanford and any adaptations to
CDSMP made in USAPIs, and to understand if CDSMP, an
evidence-based intervention, has the same effect in the US
Affiliated Pacific Islands as it has in multiple ethnic groups
within the United States. If shown to be successful, CDSMP will
be promoted and offer an evidence based intervention to help
people with chronic disease(s) better manage their conditions
and improve their health. The public health impact will be
improved health for the citizens of the USAPIs suffering from
chronic diseases.

Names are collected to match the pre-post questionnaires to
assess chronic disease symptoms and health behaviors before
and after CDSMP. However, the names will be replaced with a
unique identifier for data entry and storage. Therefore, only
unique identifiers will be in the data file.

be destroyed when no longer needed.
