Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration

HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301) 443-1129.
The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of

Proposed Project: Project To Assess Ethnicity/Race and Services to
Bi/Multilingual Populations in Community Health Centers--NEW

The Office of Minority and Women's Health (OMWH) in the Bureau of
Primary Health Care (BPHC), Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), recognizes that full understanding of the
ethnicity of clients and providers and the provision of language
appropriate services are vital to guaranteeing full and effective
health care. OMWH proposes to conduct a voluntary survey, the purpose
of which will be two-fold: (1) To obtain detailed data on the ethnic/
racial composition of health center users and providers, and (2) to
collect information about the composition and provision of
bimultilingual services. This information will be collected from a
sample of approximately 128 health centers.
These data will provide HRSA with information which will be used to
make resource and staffing decisions related to reducing barriers to
health care often faced by ethnic/racial minorities an by non- or
limited-English-speaking populations.
The burden estimate for this project is follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wendy A. Taylor, Human Resources and Housing Branch, Office of
Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room 10235,
