Proposed Project

    Youth Knowledge, Attitudes, and Feedback to Inform Choose Respect 
Implementation formerly known as Youth Advice and Feedback to Inform 
Choose Respect Implementation (OMB no. 0920-0816 exp. 6/30/2012)--
Revision--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    This is a revision for a currently approved collection, 
OMB 0920-0816. This revision seeks approval to ask knowledge 
and attitude questions at several of the focus groups, and it seeks an 
adjustment in the ages of the youths (currently ages 11 through 14 to 
ages 11 through 18).
    Over a three-year period, NCIPC seeks to understand youths' (ages 
11 through 18) knowledge and attitudes regarding healthy and unhealthy 
relationships, and obtain their feedback regarding: Message 
development/placement, creative executions, appropriate partners, and 
other similar issues. This data collected will provide for ongoing 
implementation and evaluation of the Choose Respect campaign, which is 
an initiative intended to promote youth awareness of and participation 
in healthy dating 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. NCIPC proposes conducting further planning, 
implementation, and evaluation research that enlists the involvement 
and support of youths.
    This proposed information collection will enlist geographically, 
culturally/racially/ethnically, and socio-economically diverse groups 
of young people to complete: (1) Ten-minute online surveys, with 200 
respondents, up to four times per year; and (2) up to 36 in-person 
focus groups, with up to eight participants each (or more smaller 
discussion groups with fewer people per group), twice per year (288 x 
2). 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.
    Online surveys--Each Web-based survey will involve a different 
group of tweens/teens. The burden table shows time to screen parents 
and youth, as well as the actual time to complete the survey (rows 4-
6).
    In-person focus groups--First and second focus groups will involve 
different groups of young people. The focus groups will be segmented by 
age, gender, and race/ethnicity. Other variables for segmentation may 
include, but not be limited to, geography and language. Two youth 
contacts will be needed to successfully recruit one focus group 
participant, and two parent contacts will be needed to successfully 
recruit one online survey participant (i.e., 400 participants screened 
to obtain 200 successful participants).
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated burden hours are 1354.
