Proposed Project
Youth Advice and Feedback to Inform Choose Respect Implementation
(New)--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
[[Page 8046]]
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
NCIPC seeks to obtain, over a five year period, advice and feedback
from tweens/teens (aged 11-14) regarding message development/placement,
creative executions, appropriate partners, and other similar issues, to
inform ongoing implementation and evaluation of the Choose Respect
campaign (OMB0920-0687 Expired 5/31/2006), an initiative
intended to promote youth awareness of and participation in healthy
peer relationships. Communication research indicates that campaign
planning implementation must employ a consumer-oriented approach to
ensure that program messages/materials, and their placement, can
successfully gain the attention of and resonate with the intended
audience. To that end, the NCIPC proposes conducting further planning,
implementation, and evaluation research that enlists the involvement
and support of youth, parents and other influencers and measures the
effect of the campaign on the target audiences. The evaluation will
provide interim and ongoing feedback to campaign planners regarding the
implementation and progress of the campaign.
The proposed data collection will enlist geographically,
culturally/racially/ethnically, and socio-economically diverse groups
of young people to complete: (1) Ten minute online surveys, with 30
respondents, six times per year; and (2) 12 in-person focus groups,
with 12 participants each, twice per year. Online surveys will reduce
the potential burden for young people as web-based formats are
convenient and consistent with the way they communicate and spend their
leisure time and will involve a different group of 30 tweens/teens. In-
person focus groups will involve different groups of young people and
will be segmented by age and gender.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
