The NBCCEDP was established in response to the the Congressional Breast and Cervical Cancer Mortality Prevention Act of 1990. This Act mandates a program that will provide early detection and breast and cercial cancer screening services for under-served women. CDC proposes to facilitate the comprehensive surveillance of breast and cervical cancer screening, diagnostic and treatment data from NBCCEDP grantees at the state, territory, and tribal level. These aggregated data will include demographic information about women served through funded programs. The proposed data collection will also include infrastructure data about grantee management, public education and outreach, professional education and service delivery. Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death among American women. The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimated that 211,240 new cases would be diagnosed among women in 2005, and 40,410 women would die of this disease. Mammography is extremely valuable as an early detection tool because it can detect breast cancer well before the woman can feel the lump, when it is still in an early and more treatable stage. Women older than
age 40 that receive annual mammography screening reduce their probability of breast cancer mortality and increase their treatment options. Although early detection efforts have greatly decreased the incidence of invasive cervical cancer in recent decades, ACS estimated that 10,370 new cases would be diagnosed in 2005 and 3,710 women would die of this disease. Papanicolaou (Pap) tests effectively detect precancerous lesions in addition to invasive cervical cancer. The detection and treatment of precancerous lesions can prevent nearly all cervical cancer-related deaths. Because breast and cervical cancer screening, diagnostic and treatment data are already collected and aggregated at the state, territory and tribal level, the additional burden on the grantees will be small. Continuation of this program will require grantees to report a minimum data set (MDE) on screening and follow-up activities electronically to the CDC on a semi-annual basis. The program will require grantees to report infrastructure data (STAR) to the CDC annually using a web-based system. Information collected will be used to obtain more complete breast and cervical cancer data, promote public education of cancer incidence and risk, improve the availability of screening and diagnostic services for under-served
women, ensure the quality of services provided to women, and develop outreach strategies for women that are never or rarely screened for breast and cervical cancer. Data collection will continue for the next three years. The average annual burden for this effort is 1,972 hours. There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate in the survey.
There is no change in the burden for this project.
