both the general public and the professional communities. This
submission is for generic approval and will provide for formative and
qualitative evaluation activities to (1) assess audience knowledge,
attitudes, behavior and other characteristics for the planning and
development of messages, communication strategies and public
information programs; and (2) test these messages, strategies and
program components in developmental form to assess audience
comprehension, reactions and perceptions. Information obtained from
testing can then be used to improve materials and strategies while
revisions are still affordable and possible. The annual burden
associated with these activities is summarized below.
