Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a 
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call 
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Send written comments 
to CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 
20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Written comments should be received 
within 30 days of this notice.

Proposed Project

    Evaluation of the CDC 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 OMB 
approval to conduct a multi-wave longitudinal study of smokers and non-
smokers in the U.S. Information collection will consist of an initial 
wave 1 survey and a series of follow-up surveys (4 follow-ups among 
smokers, 3 follow-ups among nonsmokers) to assess long-term, lasting 
impacts of CDC's National Tobacco Education Campaign. Phase 3 of the 
campaign is expected to launch in February 2014.
    The timeframe for information collection correlates with the timing 
and duration of the campaign. In order to ensure accurate measurement 
of campaign awareness after all media have been aired, CDC anticipates 
fielding the first survey from March to June 2014. Participants who 
complete the wave 1 survey will be surveyed again in a follow-up survey 
approximately 3 months later. This will facilitate analysis of 
relationships between individuals' exposure to the campaign and changes 
in outcomes of interest. Subsequent follow-up surveys (3 for smokers, 2 
for nonsmokers) will occur on a quarterly basis after the first two 
surveys are completed. 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 study will rely on Web surveys to be self-administered on 
computers in the respondent's home or in another convenient location. 
Information will be collected about smokers' and non-smokers' awareness 
of and exposure to specific campaign advertisements, knowledge, 
attitudes, beliefs related to smoking and secondhand smoke, and other 
marketing exposure. 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, 
recommendations of cessation services, and attitudes about other 
tobacco and nicotine products.
    Follow-up surveys may include additional survey items on other 
relevant topics, including cigars, noncombustible tobacco products, and 
other emerging trends in tobacco use. It is important to evaluate CDC's 
campaign in a context that assesses the dynamic nature of tobacco 
product marketing and uptake of various tobacco products, particularly 
since these may affect successful cessation rates.
    The sample for this survey 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. (address-based 
sample, or ABS); 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. The 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. Respondents 
may participate in English or Spanish.
    OMB approval is requested for two years. Participation is voluntary 
and there are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated annualized burden hours are 8,777.
