Proposed Collection: Generic Clearance to Support the Safe to Sleep
Campaign at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child
Health and Human Development (NICHD), 0925-NEW, Eunice Kennedy Shriver
National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD),
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a request for a new
generic clearance that would be used for submissions specific to the
Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development (NICHD) Safe to Sleep (STS) public education campaign.
Submissions for the STS campaign will be used to assess the
understanding and reach of STS campaign materials and messages, and to
monitor and improve campaign activities such as training workshops and
overall implementation. The purpose of this information collection is
to monitor and modify campaign activities, to plan future campaign
activities, to develop messages and materials, and to develop
distribution and outreach strategies that are effective at
communicating their message to bring about the intended response,
awareness, and/or behavioral change for the target audiences. This
generic clearance will enable the NICHD to: (1) More efficiently assess
the implementation of campaign activities; (2) better understand the
target audiences' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs toward STS messages
and materials; (3) better understand how the campaign activities have
influenced the target audiences' behaviors and practices; and (4)
monitor and improve activities such as trainings, and material/message
development. Having a way to gather feedback on the STS campaign
activities is critical to assessing the reach and effect of campaign
efforts. Data collected for the campaign can inform where future STS
campaign resources can produce the most meaningful results.
Data collected for the STS campaign generic clearance will be used
by a number of audiences, including STS campaign staff, NICHD
leadership, STS campaign collaborators, Federal Sudden and Unexpected
Infant Deaths (SUID)/Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Workgroup
members, SUID/SIDS stakeholders, clinical and maternal/child health
professionals, parents and caretakers, and the general public. These
audiences may use the information collections to: (1) Develop new
campaign messages, materials, and/or training curricula; (2) monitor
and improve campaign activities; (3) make decisions about campaign
activities; (4) inform current campaign activities; and (5) inform and/
or change practices and behaviors of program participants.
Examples of the types of information collections that could be
included under this generic clearance include: Focus groups and in-
depth interviews with parents/caregivers and/or health professionals to
get feedback on distribution and outreach activities, and/or campaign
messages; and Surveys with parents/caregivers and/or health
professionals to: (1) Assess the usefulness of the new STS campaign
materials, including print and on-line materials and a video, (2) track
outreach experiences of program participants, (3) assess training
participants' changes in knowledge related to safe infant sleep
behavior and implementation of outreach methods taught, and (4) assess
program participants' resource needs.
The sub-studies for this generic will be small scale, designed to
obtain results frequently and quickly to guide campaign development and
implementation, inform campaign direction, and be used internally for
campaign management purposes. NICHD's current scope and capacity for
STS generic sub-studies is non-existent and this request would fill
this gap.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 3,000.
