Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects.
To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a
copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call 404-639-5960
and send comments to Maryam I. Daneshvar, Ph.D., CDC Reports Clearance
Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS-D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail
to [email protected].
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology. Written comments should be received
within 60 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
Developing a Sexual consent Norms Instrument--New--National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Sexual violence prevention strategies are increasingly focusing on
promoting positive behavioral norms such as safety, equality and
respect in relationships, however psychometrically validated measures
do not exist for programs to use in evaluating their strategies. This
project provides an opportunity to significantly contribute to the
literature base and fill a gap in evaluation tools by developing a
measure specific to consent norms for use in three populations: college
students, late adolescents (ages 15-18) and early adolescents (ages 11-
14). Sound measures of sexual consent norms will improve program
evaluation efforts and potentially contribute to understanding of
effective prevention strategies as well as the etiology of sexual
violence perpetration.
The development of these measures will occur in four phases. Phase
one will consist of multiple two-hour focus groups of 8-10
participants: 1 with prevention educators, 8 with college students, 8
with late adolescents (ages 15-18) and 8 with early adolescents (ages
11-14). Samples of college students and adolescents will include Asian,
Black and African American, Hispanic or Latino, and White students.
Half of the college student focus groups will be conducted with
students who grew up in the United States; the other half will be
conducted with students who came to the United States within the last
five years. Focus group participants will be asked to comment on the
proposed instruments relevant to their group. Prevention educators will
comment on all three instruments. Comments will be used to refine the
measures.
In phase two, 200 Asian, Black and African American, Hispanic or
Latino, and White college students and 100 Asian, Black and African
American, Hispanic or Latino, and White adolescents will complete the
revised instrument appropriate to age group, plus a set of existing
instruments that assess related variables, using online data collection
methods.
Phase three will consist of multiple two-hour focus groups of 8-10
participants: 2 with prevention educators, 1 with college students, 1
with late adolescents (ages 15-18) and 1 with early adolescents (ages
11-14). Samples of college students and adolescents will include Asian,
Black and African American, Hispanic or Latino, and White students as
well as students who grew up in the United States and students who came
to the United States in the last five years. All focus group
participants will be asked to comment on data collected with the
revised instruments in their age group. Prevention educators will be
asked to comment on data from all age groups. Comments will be used to
refine the instrument again, before administering it to larger samples.
In phase four, the refined instruments plus a set of existing
instruments that assess related variables will be administered to 500
Asian, Black and African American, Hispanic or Latino, and White
college students and 400 Asian, Black and African American, Hispanic or
Latino, and White adolescents (200 early adolescents and 200 late
adolescents). Data collection will occur via an online survey. These
data will be used to examine the psychometric properties of the new
instruments.
Findings will be used to demonstrate the adequacy of new
instruments for use in racially and ethnically diverse populations of
college student and adolescents by sexual assault prevention programs
funded through the Rape Prevention and Education Program. There is no
cost to respondents other than their time.
