Proposed Project: Cross-sectional Outcome Survey for Evaluation of
CDC Youth Media Campaign--New--National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
In FY 2001, Congress established the Youth Media Campaign at the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Specifically, the
House Appropriations Language said: The Committee believes that, if we
are to have a positive impact on the future health of the American
population, we must change the behaviors of our children and young
adults by reaching them with important health messages. CDC, working in
collaboration with Federal partners, coordinated an effort to plan,
implement, and evaluate a campaign designed to clearly communicate
messages that will help youth develop habits that foster good health
over a lifetime. The Campaign is based on principles that have been
shown to enhance success, including: Designing messages based on
research; testing messages with the intended audiences; involving young
people in all aspects of Campaign planning and implementation;
enlisting the involvement and support of parents and other influencers;
refining the messages based on research; and measuring the effect of
the campaign on the target audiences.
To measure the effect of the campaign on the target audiences, CDC
is using a longitudinal design with a telephone survey of tween and
parent dyads (Children's Youth Media Survey and Parents' Youth Media
Survey, OMB: 0920-0587) that assesses aspects of the knowledge,
attitudes, beliefs, and levels of involvement in positive and physical
activities. The baseline survey was conducted prior to the launch of
the campaign from April through 2002. Three thousand parent/child dyads
(from a nationally representative sample) and 3000 parent/child dyads
from the six ``high dose'' communities were interviewed, for a total of
12,000 respondents. To measure the first year's effects of the
campaign, a follow up survey was administered to the baseline
respondents April to June 2003. The same respondents will be re-
surveyed in April to June 2004.
In addition to the follow-up survey, a new national cross-sectional
sample will be included in the outcome evaluation for spring 2004. The
cross-sectional sample will serve as a bridge to future years of the
outcome survey design, which transfers from a longitudinal to a cross-
sectional design. Use of a concurrent cross-sectional survey will
address important design problems related to re-contact respondent bias
that can affect the results of a longitudinal survey. Thus, a telephone
survey will be administered in spring 2004 to 2,400 parent/youth dyads
in the new national cross-sectional sample using RDD methodology. This
survey will occur concurrently with the Year 2 Follow-up Survey, and
the survey instrument will be the same as the Year 2 Follow-up Survey.
In years subsequent to 2004, YMC will continue to conduct cross-
sectional surveys of approximately 2400 parent/child dyads. There is no
cost to respondents.
