national agenda for improvements in
occupational safety and health through
research and partnerships. Representing
all stakeholders, the councils use an
open process to set research objectives,
share information, encourage
partnerships, and promote improved
workplace practices.
NIOSH is requesting a 12-month OMB
approval to administer a survey to
NORA council members and leaders. As
the steward of NORA, it is NIOSH’s
responsibility to ensure that councils,
which are central to the work of NORA,

are operating well. Without this data
collection, NIOSH’s internal review of
NORA would lack critical stakeholder
input from its many non-Federal
partners.
The target population is all current
and former members and leaders of each
of the 17 NORA councils in the third
decade of NORA. The web-based survey
requests information on council
activities, the effectiveness of the
council and its processes, and
suggestions for improving the

effectiveness and impact of NORA
councils in the future.
NIOSH will invite approximately 425
non-Federal NORA Sector council
members to complete the web-based
survey. Participation is voluntary and
the estimated burden per response is 12
minutes. Based on experience with
similar information collections, NIOSH
estimates receipt of 225 completed
responses. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden is 45
hours.

AGENCY:

The Centers for Disease

its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. This notice invites
comment on a proposed information
collection project titled ‘‘An Evaluation
of CDC’s STEADI Older Adult Fall
Prevention Initiative in a Primary Care
Setting.’’ This new data collection effort
is an essential component to determine
the impact of CDC’s Stopping Elderly

concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions 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 through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.

Background and Brief Description
Falls are the leading cause of both
fatal and non-fatal injuries among older
adults, defined as age 65 and older.
From 2007 to 2016, fall death ageadjusted rates increased by 31% with
almost 30,000 older adults dying as the
result of a fall in 2016. The economic
consequences of falls are significant and
growing as the population ages, with
medical costs of older adult falls
estimated at $50 billion. CDC created
the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths,
and Injuries (STEADI) initiative to guide
health care providers’ fall prevention
activities in the primary care setting.
This new data collection effort is an
essential component to determine the
impact of CDC’s Stopping Elderly
Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries
(STEADI) initiative on falls, emergency
department visits, and hospitalizations
due to falls. It will help CDC determine
the impact of less resource intense
versions of STEADI, and evaluate the
process of implementing STEADI fall
prevention initiative in a primary care
setting to provide context for the impact
evaluations. The study population will
be limited to adults 65 and older who
have an outpatient visit during the

they can accurately recall and report the
information during the 12-month period
for the patient surveys. The process
evaluation interviews will be used to
understand the attitudes of clinical staff
towards the implementation process,
barriers and facilitators to
implementation, and the
implementation fidelity to core
components of the STEADI initiative.
Descriptive statistics and cross
tabulations will be used to describe
quantitative data from the patient
survey and process evaluation data. Risk
ratios of the effect of the intervention on
post-intervention falls will be calculated
comparing intervention and control
groups while controlling for
demographic, health, attitude, and
behavior variables.
The data collected from this study
will be used to: Demonstrate the impact
of STEADI and different components of
STEADI on falls and fall injuries in a
primary care setting and improve the
implementation of STEADI in a primary
care setting. There are no costs to the
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
is 3,836.

study period and screen as high risk for
falls at the selected primary care clinics
implementing the STEADI fall
prevention initiative. The study
population for the process evaluation
will include the clinical implementation
staff at the selected clinics where the
intervention will take place (physicians,
physician assistants/nurse practitioners,
study research nurses, and practice or
operations manager).
Two data collection methods will be
used; the CDC’s Stay Independent Fall
Risk Screener will be administered to
older adult patients at selected primary
care clinics to determine which older
adults are at high risk for a fall. Those
who screen at high risk will be assigned,
based on clinic attended and week of
attendance, to one of three study arms.
Patient surveys will be used to
determine whether or not these patients
experience a fall during the study
period, are treated for a fall, and/or use
any fall prevention strategies throughout
the study period. Four surveys will be
administered to each patient during a
12-month period: One baseline survey
and three follow-up surveys. Older
adults will also be asked to keep track
of their falls in a monthly falls diary, so
