Proposed Project
Evaluation of the Spanish-Language Campaign ``Good Morning
Arthritis, Today You Will Not Defeat Us.''--New--National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Arthritis affects nearly 43 million Americans, or about one in
every five people, and is the leading cause of disability among adults
in the United States. Limitations due to arthritis are particularly
burdensome when they affect an individual's mobility, productivity, and
ability to earn a living, as well as psychological and social well-
being. Because of the broad public health impact of this disease, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed the National
Arthritis Action Plan in 1998 as a comprehensive approach to reducing
the burden of arthritis in the United States.
Hispanics are currently the fastest growing racial/ethnic group in
the United States. Although Hispanic populations have a slightly lower
prevalence rate of self-reported, doctor-diagnosed arthritis than the
general population, Hispanics with arthritis report greater work
limitations, and higher rates of severe pain than do Caucasian
populations with arthritis. CDC has developed a Spanish-language
campaign, Good Morning Arthritis, Today you will not defeat us, to
deliver culturally appropriate public health messages about the
benefits of physical activity as an arthritis management strategy.
Campaign materials include print ads, 30 and 60 second radio ads and
public service announcements, and desktop displays with brochures for
pharmacies, doctors' offices, and community centers. The campaign is
designed to reach Spanish speaking adults with arthritis who are aged
45-64, who have high school education or less, and whose annual income
is less than $35,000. CDC plans to conduct the campaign in four
experimental markets.
CDC requests clearance to conduct an evaluation of the campaign by
collecting information from Spanish-speaking respondents in the four
experimental markets and two control markets. An initial data
collection will consist of telephone interviews, and will be based on a
pre- and post-campaign evaluation design. A follow-up telephone
interview, involving a subset of the initial respondents, will be
conducted six months later. Results will be used to guide the public
health practice of the 36 CDC-funded state arthritis programs and their
partners.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The
estimated annualized burden hours are 2,730.
