DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review; 30-Day Comment Request, Questionnaire
Cognitive Interviewing and Pretesting (NCI)
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for
review and approval of the information collection listed below. This
proposed information collection was previously published in
[[Page 22998]]
the Federal Register on January 3, 2014, (Vol. 79, p. 402) and allowed
60-days for public comment. No public comments were received. The
purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public
comment. The National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of
Health, may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required
to respond to, an information collection that has been extended,
revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Direct Comments To OMB: Written comments and/or suggestions
regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, especially regarding
the estimated public burden and associated response time, should be
directed to the: Office of Management and Budget, Office of Regulatory
Affairs, [email protected] or by fax to 202-395-6974,
Attention: NIH Desk Officer.
DATES: Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection
are best assured of having their full effect if received within 30-days
of the date of this publication.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To obtain a copy of the data
collection plans and instruments or request more information on the
proposed project contact: Gordon Willis, Division of Cancer Control and
Population Sciences, 9609 Medical Center Drive, Rm 3E358, Bethesda, MD
20892-9762 or call non-toll-free number 240-276-6788 or Email your
request, including your address to: [email protected]. Formal
requests for additional plans and instruments must be requested in
writing.
Proposed Collection: Questionnaire Cognitive Interviewing and
Pretesting (NCI), 0925-0589, Revision, National Cancer Institute (NCI),
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: For many surveys and self-
report-based data collection efforts, it is advantageous to the
government if development follows a pretesting sequence equivalent to
that used at National Center for Health Statistics or the Census
Bureau. For example, the Health Information National Trends Survey
(HINTS: OMB No. 0925-0538) has undergone multiple cycles of cognitive
testing to refine both the questionnaire, and supporting materials such
as advance letters and brochures. The types of activities covered by
this Generic request include: (1) Survey material development and
pretesting based on cognitive interviewing methodology and use of focus
groups, (2) Research on the cognitive aspects of survey methodology,
(3) Research on computer-user interface design for computer-assisted
instruments, also known as Usability Testing, (4) Pilot Household
interviews are pilot tests (either personal, telephone, or Web-based)
conducted with respondents using professional field interviewers; and
(5) Formative research that depends on the use of interviewing
techniques to develop products such as research priorities, or expert
consensus on best practices. Additionally, formative research has been
increasingly used to develop new data collection instruments using
psychometric procedures, including Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT).
Test-retest reliability testing can also be used as a type of formative
research in the development of questionnaires, software applications
that depend on self-report, and other measurement instruments.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 3,600.
