[[Page 53153]]

and provide palliative care to pediatric populations. NINR is launching 
this effort to increase the use of palliative care for children living 
with serious illness or life-limiting conditions. The Palliative Care: 
Conversations Matter evaluation will assess the information and 
materials being disseminated as part of the official campaign. Survey 
findings will help (1) Determine if the campaign is effective, 
relevant, and useful to health care providers who recommend and provide 
palliative care to pediatric populations; (2) to better understand the 
information needs of health care providers to inform future campaign 
efforts; and (3) examine how effective the campaign materials are in 
starting and continuing a pediatric palliative care conversation and 
addressing the communications needs of health care providers around 
this topic.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 200.
