This data collection is submitted in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic by CDC to allow the development
of tools that will serve a variety of purposes throughout the
remainder of the emergency response. These activities will include
filling gaps in knowledge around COVID-19 case characteristics,
infection rate, point prevalence in people experiencing
homelessness, risks for severe illness or adverse outcomes among
pregnant individuals and their newborns, and risk factors for
severe illness. The Intended use of the resulting data is to inform
guidance on COVID-19. The Change Request submitted here is intended
to incorporate several improvements have been identified by CDC
that would improve data interpretation, data quality, and linkages
with the standard COVID-19 case report form and between pregnancy
and neonatal forms. Additionally, implementing jurisdictions have
requested additions such as multiple response options for neonatal
testing.
This Emergency Request
is submitted for a bundle of epidemiologic tools that will help
CDC’s efforts to slow and stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Some of
the data collection instruments for which OMB approval is sought
were initially approved under OMB control no. 0920-1011 (exp. date
4/23/2020). This ICR will continue those forms’ clearance and add
additional tools. The 0920-1011 gen-IC approved in January 2020
(exp. date 4/23/2020) included three data collection instruments:
(1) COVID-19 case report form, whose data elements have been
inherited by the NNDSS ICR (0920-0728); (2) persons under
investigation form, which has been discontinued; and (3) a
household transmission questionnaire, which is included in this ICR
to extend its OMB clearance. As CDC’s response to the pandemic
evolved over the last 90 days, the OMB-approved forms from the
0920-1011 gen-IC were repurposed for the ongoing studies and uses
described in this ICR. The purpose of this ICR is to bring these
new collections into compliance.
Non-Substantive Change Request
is submitted to make changes to the Pregnancy Module (Pregnant
Woman/Neonate Form).
