Proposed Project
Evaluation of the National Tobacco Prevention and Control Public
Education Campaign (OMB No. 0920-0923, exp. 2/28/2013)--Revision--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2012, CDC obtained OMB approval to collect information needed to
evaluate CDC's National Tobacco Prevention and Control Public Education
Campaign (The Campaign) (OMB No. 0920-0923, exp. 2/28/2013). The
evaluation plan was based on two waves of data collection conducted in
2012: An initial baseline survey before the launch of The Campaign
(wave 1), and a longitudinal follow-up survey of those participants
approximately three months after the conclusion of The Campaign (wave
2). The pre/post assessment design allowed CDC to examine the
association between smokers' and nonsmokers' exposure to The Campaign
and changes in outcome variables of interest.
CDC recently announced plans to launch a second phase of The
Campaign (Phase 2) using the same campaign name (``Tips from Former
Smokers''), similar advertisement styles, similar message themes and
strategies, and in some cases the same ad cast members. In order to
apply a similar evaluation strategy to Phase 2 of The Campaign, CDC is
requesting changes to the previously approved information collection
plan. These changes include one additional survey in 2013 (wave 3), and
changes to the previously approved follow-up questionnaires.
The evaluation plan for Phase 2 will utilize a similar study design
(pre/post assessment) and the same sample sources that were utilized in
the first phase of campaign evaluation. In 2013, CDC plans to
administer 13,750 additional follow-up questionnaires to smokers
sourced through the Knowledge Networks (KN) online panel and the Survey
Sampling International (SSI) online panel, and 3,286 additional
questionnaires to nonsmokers drawn from the KN Panel. Because
respondents in 2013 will be drawn from the same sources utilized in
2012, CDC will be able to conduct longer-term longitudinal analysis of
respondents who participate in both the first wave (2012) and third
wave (2013) of information collection. CDC will assess relevant outcome
measures prior to initiation of Phase 1 of The Campaign, and after
completion of the combined Phase 1 and Phase 2 campaigns.
The analysis plan for Phase 2 of The Campaign will allow CDC to
estimate smokers' and nonsmokers' exposure to Phase 2 campaign
messages, characterize respondents' reactions to Phase 2 campaign
messages, describe changes in knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs related
to smoking and secondhand smoke, and quantify the number of quit
attempts made during the Phase 2 campaign. The revised follow-up
questionnaires for 2013 will be similar to the questionnaires
administered in 2012, however, changes will be made to measure new
outcomes targeted by the Phase 2 campaign, such as knowledge of the
association between smoking and diabetes, and knowledge of the
relationship between secondhand smoke exposure and heart attacks.
The Phase 2 Campaign is expected to launch in early winter/spring
2013 and will air for approximately three months. To ensure accurate
measurement of campaign awareness after all media have been delivered,
wave 3 data collection will occur approximately three months after the
launch of Phase 2 messages. Information will be collected about
smokers' and non-smokers' awareness of and exposure to campaign
advertisements; knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs related to smoking
and secondhand smoke; and behaviors related to smoking cessation (among
the smokers in the sample) and behaviors related to non-smokers'
encouragement of smokers to quit smoking. Respondents will undergo a
brief screening process to ensure that they
[[Page 62517]]
receive the appropriate version of the follow-up questionnaire (smoker
or nonsmoker).
OMB approval is requested for one year. Questionnaires will be
administered on-line. Participation is voluntary and there are no costs
to respondents other than their time.
