Proposed Project
Evaluation of Enhanced Implementation of the ``Learn the Signs. Act
Early.'' Campaign in 4 Target Sites,--New--National Center on Birth
Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC's ``Learn the Signs Act Early'' campaign is a health education
campaign that aims to improve parent awareness of early child
development and improve early identification of children with autism
spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities. The proposed
information collection activity will allow necessary evaluation of the
supplemental program to determine if the program has achieved its
intended goals; to identify efficient implementation strategies that
reach the greatest numbers of parents of young children within defined
population groups; and determine the effectiveness of those strategies
in changing parents' awareness of the campaign and behavior related to
monitoring early development.
This information collection activity will consist of two surveys of
parents of young children in the demographic groups and geographic
areas targeted by this enhanced implementation of the ``Learn the Signs
Act Early'' campaign; one at baseline (before campaign implementation)
and one at follow-up (near implementation end). The surveys will
capture information from the program's target audience to determine
campaign reach and exposure among this group, as well as identify
change in knowledge, awareness, and behavior related to the campaign
and monitoring early child development. The project aims to attain 250
completed parent surveys from each of the 4 sites at baseline and again
at follow-up (for a total of 2,000 completed surveys). It is estimated
that 2400 respondents will have to be screened in order to recruit 2000
total survey participants.
Participants will be recruited to participate in one of two surveys
that will be conducted in the following four target areas: Washington:
Yakima, Benton, Franklin, and Walla Walla counties; Missouri: St. Louis
City; Utah: Salt Lake County; and Alaska: Anchorage, Palmer, Wasilla,
Homer, Kenai.
This request is to obtain OMB clearance for two years. There are no
costs to the respondents other than their time.
