Proposed Project
Evaluation of the Young Sisters Initiative: A Guide to A Better
You! Program--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
launched the three-year Breast Cancer in Young Women (BCYW) project to
raise awareness about these issues among young breast cancer survivors
(YBCS) and to provide psychosocial and reproductive health support to
women who are diagnosed before age 45. A key component of the BCYW
program is the design, testing, implementation and evaluation of the
Young Sisters Initiative: A Guide to a Better You (YSI) program. The
YSI program is a web-based intervention designed to provide African
American YBCS with culturally tailored psychosocial and reproductive
health information to support their needs as cancer survivors.
CDC plans to conduct a process evaluation of YSI program
implementation in conjunction with Sisters Network Inc. (SNI), a
partner organization, and ICF International, an evaluation contractor.
Information will be collected to assess whether the YSI program can be
implemented with fidelity; reach its target audience of African
American YBCS; and deliver effective psychosocial and reproductive
health information and support. The process evaluation will also
collect information to improve understanding of facilitators and
barriers to YSI program recruitment and implementation, and to assess
how the program might be adapted for use with other audiences.
Primary information collection will consist of two Web-based
surveys of YSI program users, conducted before and after exposure to
YSI program materials. The initial five-minute demographic screener
will be conducted when users encounter the YSI Web site. Respondents
will be asked to provide demographic and health information necessary
for identifying members of the target YSI program audience, and to
indicate their willingness to complete a brief online post-use survey
one to two weeks after their initial YSI program Web site visit. The
post-use survey will be conducted after YSI Web site users have time to
review the site and materials. The estimated burden for the post-use
survey is 20 minutes. Respondents will be asked questions about the
usefulness of resources posted on the YSI Web site and satisfaction
with the site. No personally identifiable information will be
collected.
Two secondary sources of information will be used to supplement the
process evaluation data collection, but will not impose burden on YSI
Web site users. First, CDC's evaluation contractor will use information
obtained through Google Analytics to assess how visitors (particularly
the target audience) navigate and use the YSI Web site. In addition,
the evaluation contractor will conduct a limited number of telephone
interviews with SNI staff and SNI-identified recruitment partners
before and after the YSI implementation to assess fidelity to the YSI
program core components and identify any facilitators and/or barriers
experienced during program implementation.
CDC will use the results of the process evaluation to inform future
efforts to support and educate YBCS in vulnerable/minority populations.
OMB approval is requested for one year. Participation in the
information collection is voluntary, and there are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 142.
