Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC
has submitted the information collection request titled A
Longitudinal Examination of Mental and Physical Health among Police Associated with COVID19 to the Office of Management and Budget OMB for review and approval. CDC
previously published a Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations notice on January 26, 2021 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received one comment related to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30
days for public and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in comments that:

Proposed Project A Longitudinal Examination of Mental and Physical Health among Police Associated with COVID19
NewNational Institute for Occupational Safety and Health NIOSH, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC.
Background and Brief Description Police officers are exposed to several stressors during their working lives, including traumatic events e.g., motorvehicle accidents, domestic incidents, organizational stressors e.g., long work hours, shiftwork, public criticism, and concern about physical harm. On top of these day-to-day stressors, the coronavirus disease 2019 COVID19
has contributed to an increase in mental and physical risk. Although exact figures are not known, in April 2020, it was estimated that approximately 17%
of the New York police department were

out sick, and five officers had died. Over 1,000 police officers had tested positive for COVID19. Since then, rates of COVID19 have not only increased in the general population, but also in police populations. These preliminary studies indicate that police departments are under a great deal of stress and at greater risk because of COVID19. Given that efficiently performing officers are key to successful functioning of law enforcement, addressing police mental and physical health is imperative for their well-being, as well as that of the public they serve. Nonetheless, little research has been conducted to evaluate the physical and mental health consequences of the COVID19
pandemic on police officers. Thus, NIOSH seeks OMB approval to evaluate the longitudinal mental and physical health effect of the COVID19 pandemic on police officers.
Previously, in collaboration with NIOSH, the University of New York at Buffalo UB conducted a cross-sectional research project to evaluate the mental, physical, and subclinical measures of health in the Buffalo, NY police officers as part of the Buffalo Cardio-Metabolic Occupational Police Stress BCOPS
study. The BCOPS study itself includes a baseline examination and four followup examinations. For this reason, NIOSH has mental and physical health data on police officers, collected prior to COVID19, including stress related surveys, blood parameters, physical measures, stress biomarkers cortisol and telomere length data.
To meet the aims of the current study NIOSH has contracted with UB to recruit 200 police officers who previously participated in a BCOPS
study. Priority will be placed on recruiting officers who participated in the last BCOPS study n=240. If 200 of the 240 officers cannot be recruited, then UB will try to recruit any officer who has previously participated in a BCOPS study. A subset of the surveys and biological data collected as part of the BCOPS studies will be repeated for this study. By comparing the responses of the surveys and physical data
