Proposed Project
``Youth Knowledge, Attitudes, 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
A revision of approved OMB 0920-0816 is requested to
reflect adjustments in the age of youth who will participate in the
focus group studies and surveys (11-14 will become 11-18). The revision
requests permission to ask knowledge and attitude questions at some of
the focus groups.
Over a three-year period, NCIPC seeks to understand youths' (ages
11 to 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, to inform ongoing implementation and evaluation of the Choose
Respect campaign, 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. To that end, the NCIPC proposes
conducting further planning, implementation, and evaluation research
that enlists the involvement and support of youth. The proposed
information collection will inform message and materials development
and 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 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. 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 and gender, as indicated. Other variables for segmentation may
include, but not be limited to, geography, language, and culture/race/
ethnicity. The burden table shows time to screen parents and youth, as
well as the actual time for focus groups and a waiting room survey
(rows 1-3). The assumption is that two parental contacts will be needed
to successfully recruit one respondent for each type of study. There
are no costs to respondents other than their time.
