Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Study to inform prevention and diagnosis
CDC will study U.S. adults reported to ArboNET or with samples testing positive for Oropouche virus to assess risk factors, describe clinical course among U.S. travelers, and measure how long virus, viral RNA, and antibodies persist in bodily fluids. The results will be used to inform prevention messages and help with clinical diagnosis and care.
Time burden for study respondents
CDC estimates the proposed Oropouche virus study will create about 663 annual burden hours for respondents. That estimate comes from forms such as a 30-minute baseline survey for 200 people, a 15-minute follow-up clinical survey completed 6 times for 200 people, a 10-minute symptom diary completed 6 times for 200 people, a 15-minute contact tracing survey for 100 people, and a 15-minute sexual contact interview for 150 people. The notice states there are no costs to respondents other than their time.
