To assess, on a population-level, the current utilization of Zika prevention strategies targeted at women of reproductive age (18-49 years) in Puerto Rico, and determine the need for further refinements in educational messaging and allocation of resources, as established during the first season of the Zika outbreak.
CDC seeks Emergency Clearance, as new outbreaks and an increased number of Zika cases are expected as the summer travel and mosquito season approaches. A delayed start to this study would mean that critical information on; 1) the use of contraception among women wishing to avoid or delay pregnancies, 2) the barriers to access and use of contraception, 3) knowledge of and adherence to mosquito prevention strategies, and 4) frequency of travel to areas with Zika transmission and adherence to travel recommendations, would not be able to be gathered.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
