Notice of Correction to Burden Table
Proposed Project
The Effectiveness of Teen Safe Driving Messages and Creative
Elements on Parents and Teens--New--National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and

Description of Correction
The previous 30-day Federal Register Notice published on December
26, 2007, Volume 72, No. 246, Page 73022-73023, was submitted with an
error showing the number of respondents for the Pre/Post Intervention
Survey Screener as 900 and the number of respondents for the Pre/Post
Survey as 400. This correction increases the number of respondents to
1800 and 800 respectively.
Background and Brief Description
Car crashes are the number one killer of teens, accounting for
approximately one-third of all deaths within this age group. The
National Center for Health Statistics reports that in 2004, a total of
3,620 young drivers were killed and an additional 303,000 were injured
in motor vehicle crashes. In order to reduce these preventable deaths
and injuries, parental awareness and education about Graduated Driver's
Licensing (GDL) laws and the ways that parents can influence their
children's safe driving are necessary. In preparation for a national
campaign to educate parents about their role in their teens' driver
education, it is necessary to determine the most effective messages and
channels through which to communicate with parents. Ogilvy Public
Relations Worldwide, PerformTech, International Communications Research
(ICR) Survey and Fieldwork Network, on behalf of CDC, will conduct two
studies to assess the appropriateness and impact of messages and
creative materials intended to (a) increase parental involvement in
their teen's driving education and experience, and (b) encourage teens
to adopt safer driving practices.
The first information collection will be accomplished through focus
group testing of campaign messages and materials with representatives
from our target audiences, parents and teens, in two cities in the U.S.
The findings will provide valuable information regarding parents' and
teens' levels of awareness and concern about safe driving; motivators
for behavior change, especially GDL compliance; and message/channel
preferences. The information collected will be used to develop final
creative materials to implement the teen safe driving campaign in pilot
cities. The second information collection will be accomplished through
pilot city testing, which will evaluate knowledge, attitude, and
behaviors of intended audiences both pre- and post communications
campaign. The campaign will target parents of newly licensed drivers.
It will encourage parents to understand state regulations regarding new
drivers, talk with their teens about safe driving practices, and both
manage and monitor their teens' driving behavior. Testing will be
conducted through brief telephone surveys intended to assess knowledge,
attitudes, and behaviors of parents and teens related to safe driving
practices, GDL laws, and parental management of new drivers before and
after the campaign; with the goal of observing a marked increase in
parental management at the time of the post campaign survey.
There is no cost to the respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours are 292.
