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 404-639-7570
and send comments to Kimberly Lane, CDC Reports Clearance Officer, 1600
Clifton Road, MS-D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an email 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
Communications Research to Inform Messages and Materials about
Cytomegalovirus (CMV)--NEW--Prevention Research Branch, National Center
on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common congenital infection in
the U.S., causing disabilities in more than 5,500 children born each
year (CDC, 2010). Disabilities related to congenital CMV are more
common than other well-known childhood conditions, such as Down
syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, and neural tube defects, and can
include hearing or vision loss, mental retardation, psychomotor delays,
and speech and language impairment.
This is a multiphase communication research study that will help
inform CDC's development materials and prevention messaging about
congenital CMV. The information collection activities will consist of
focus groups and an online survey. First, we plan to conduct 8 focus
groups with 9 respondents each to identify potential messaging frames
for communicating information about congenital CMV to the target
audiences and adopting CMV preventive guidelines. We estimate that we
will screen 144 women between the ages of 18-40 who are either pregnant
or plan to get pregnant in the next 12 months, and who have a child
under age 5, in order to recruit 72 participants for the focus groups.
These focus groups will be conducted in Atlanta, Georgia (4) and San
Diego, California (4). Findings from the focus groups will inform
revisions to existing CDC messages and materials, which will be further
tested in the second information collection activity, the online
survey. Phase II research will include an online survey to test the
revised messages and materials. This web survey will: (1) Examine
baseline awareness and knowledge regarding CMV, (2) assess baseline CMV
prevention behaviors prior to viewing CMV communication interventions
(factsheet and video), (3) assess appeal and evaluate the impact of CMV
communication interventions on their attitudes, beliefs, and behavioral
intentions regarding prevention behaviors and (4) assess knowledge,
attitudes and behaviors pre- and post- interventions with a larger
target audience sample (N=500). We estimate that we will screen 3,000
women in order to recruit 500 respondents for the online survey.
All survey responses (100%) will be submitted through a secure
survey Web site established for this project. No Information in
Identifiable Form (IIF) collected will be transmitted to CDC. The only
IIF being collected (respondent name, address, and phone number) is to
be used by the focus group facilities to screen potential respondents
to determine eligibility for the focus groups. The total estimated
annual burden is 531 hours. There are no costs to the respondents other
than their time.
This request is submitted to obtain OMB clearance for one year.
