School Nurses Face New Reporting Time
The CDC plans a national rollout of a school-based surveillance project that will require school nurses, state data coordinators, and some district staff to enter data into several forms. CDC estimates an annual burden of 951 hours for respondents and lists form-specific times (for example, the quarterly electronic reporting form is 9 hours per response and some interview guides are 1.5 hours per response). The notice says there is no monetary cost to respondents other than their time and requests OMB approval for a three-year revision.
May Improve ME/CFS Care for Children
CDC says active surveillance in schools could help speed up diagnosis and management of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) in children by educating school nurses on ME/CFS and how to work with parents. The project aims to track symptom burden and prevalence in schoolchildren and to provide insights for future plans to improve healthcare for children with ME/CFS and other chronic conditions.
