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 or
send comments to CDC LeRoy Richardson, 1600 Clifton Road, MS D-74,
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
Evaluation of the National Tobacco Prevention and Control Public
Education Campaign (OMB No. 0920-0923, exp. 4/30/2014)--Revision--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requests a
two-year Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to conduct a
Web-based longitudinal study of smokers and non-smokers in the U.S.
This study will be fielded for purposes of evaluating the CDC's
National Tobacco Prevention and Control Public Education Campaign (The
Campaign) and monitoring its longer term impact. We will conduct 5
survey waves of data collection among
[[Page 69681]]
smokers and nonsmokers to facilitate repeated measures on outcomes
relevant to the evaluation. Information will be collected about
smokers' and non-smokers' awareness of and exposure to specific
campaign advertisements, knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs related to
smoking and secondhand smoke. The surveys will also measure behaviors
related to smoking cessation (among the smokers in the sample) and
behaviors related to non-smokers' encouragement of smokers to quit
smoking and recommendations of cessation services. Data from these
surveys will be used to examine the statistical relationships between
exposure to The Campaign and changes in outcome variables relevant to
the evaluation. This approach builds on previous phases of The Campaign
and the evaluations of those phases.
This study will rely on Web surveys to be self-administered at home
on personal computers. Specifically, we will conduct a multi-wave
longitudinal study of smokers (5 waves) and non-smokers (4 waves) to
facilitate repeated measures on outcomes related to the evaluation and
to the work of CDC's Office on Smoking and Health. The wave 1 survey
will be fielded in early 2014, upon OMB approval. Participants who
complete the wave 1 survey will be surveyed again in a follow-up survey
approximately three months later. Subsequent follow-up surveys (3 for
smokers, 2 for nonsmokers) will occur periodically after the initial
wave 1 and wave 2 surveys to assess long-term, lasting impacts of The
Campaign. One of the primary purposes of the subsequent follow-up
surveys will be to track longer-term cigarette abstinence among smokers
who initially report quitting as a result of The Campaign. This will be
essential to properly estimating the impact of The Campaign on long-
term successful quitting. Tracking of longer term abstinence will
require assessment of use of different products over time. In addition,
the three additional follow-up surveys may include additional survey
items on other topics of interest to the CDC and its stakeholders,
including more in-depth information on marketing exposure and use of
cigars, noncombustible tobacco products, and other emerging trends in
tobacco use including electronic delivery devices (e.g., e-cigarettes).
It is important to evaluate The Campaign in a context that assesses the
dynamic nature of tobacco product marketing and uptake of various
tobacco products as these can impact the success of The Campaign in
motivating long-term quitting. Therefore, it may be necessary in the
future to make additional requests to OMB for changes in the planned
follow-up instruments to re-balance the content of the surveys to
reflect these and other emerging trends in the tobacco product
environment.
The sample for this study will originate from two sources: (1) A
new online longitudinal cohort of smokers and nonsmokers, sampled
randomly from postal mailing addresses in the U.S. using address based
sampling (ABS) methods; and (2) the existing GfK KnowledgePanel, an
established long-term online panel of U.S. adults. The new ABS-sourced
longitudinal cohort will consist of smokers and nonsmokers who have not
previously participated in any established online panels. This new
cohort will be recruited by GfK, utilizing identical recruitment
methods that are used in the recruitment of KnowledgePanel. The GfK
KnowledgePanel will be used in combination with the new ABS-sourced
cohort to support larger sample sizes that will allow for more in-depth
subgroup analysis, which is a key objective of the CDC. All online
surveys, regardless of sample source, will be conducted via the GfK
KnowledgePanel Web portal for self-administered surveys.
Participation is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
