Proposed Project
Focus Group Testing to Effectively Plan and Tailor Cancer
Prevention and Control Communication Campaigns--New--Division of Cancer
Prevention and Control (DCPC), National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The mission of CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control
(DCPC) is to reduce the burden of cancer in the United States through
cancer prevention, reduction of risk, early detection, better
treatment, and improved quality of life for cancer survivors. Toward
this end, DCPC supports the scientific development, implementation, and
evaluation of various health communication campaigns with an emphasis
on specific cancer burdens. This process requires testing of messages,
concepts, and materials prior to their final development and
dissemination.
CDC requests OMB approval of a generic information collection
request to develop and test cancer prevention and control messages,
including, but not limited to, colorectal and gynecologic cancers.
Because communication campaigns will vary according to the type of
cancer, qualitative dimensions of the message, and the type of
respondents, DCPC has developed a reference set of questions that can
be tailored for use in a variety of focus group-based information
collections. The discussion guide for each focus group will be drawn
from the reference set of pre-approved questions.
Insights gained from the focus groups will assist in the
development and/or refinement of messages and materials to ensure that
the general public and other key audiences clearly understand the
messages and are motivated to adopt the desired action. Screening
information will be collected from potential respondents in order to
identify those who represent key audiences for specific messages.
The average burden for participating in a focus group discussion
will be two hours. Over a three-year period, DCPC will conduct or
sponsor up to 72 focus groups per year with an average of 12
respondents each. There are no costs to respondents except their time.
The total estimated annualized burden hours are 1,814.
