Proposed Project
Extended Evaluation of the National Tobacco Prevention and Control
Public Education Campaign--New--National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
launched the first federally funded, national mass media campaign to
educate consumers about the adverse health consequences of tobacco use
(the National Tobacco Prevention and Control Public Education Campaign,
or ``The Campaign''). The Campaign continued in 2013 and 2014 with
advertisements known as ``Tips From Former Smokers.'' Activities for
Phase 3 of the campaign are ongoing. To assess the impact of The
Campaign in Phases 1-3, CDC obtained OMB approval to conduct a series
of longitudinal surveys for smokers and nonsmokers (OMB No. 0920-0923,
exp. 3/31/2017).
New media activities for Phase 4 of The Campaign launched in March
2015. To support evaluation of Phase 4 of The Campaign, CDC plans to
field 4 new waves of information collection. The surveys will be
fielded in English and Spanish and will occur during late 2015 and
throughout 2016. Once enrolled in the first wave of data collection,
all participants will be re-contacted for follow-up.
The sample for the data collection will originate from two sources:
(1) An online longitudinal cohort of smokers and nonsmokers, sampled
randomly from postal mailing addresses in the United States (address-
based sample, or ABS); and (2) the existing GfK KnowledgePanel, an
established long-term online panel of U.S. adults. The ABS-sourced
longitudinal cohort will consist of smokers and nonsmokers who have not
previously participated in any established online panels to reduce
potential panel conditioning bias from previous participation. The new
cohort will be recruited by GfK, utilizing similar 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 for CDC. All online
surveys, regardless of sample source, will be conducted via the GfK
KnowledgePanel Web portal for self-administered surveys.
Information will be collected through 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
nonsmokers' 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 nonsmokers' encouragement of
smokers to quit smoking, recommendations of cessation services, and
attitudes about other tobacco and nicotine products.
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, particularly since these may affect successful
cessation rates. Survey instruments may be updated to include new or
revised items on relevant topics, including cigars, noncombustible
tobacco products, and other emerging trends in tobacco use.
Participation is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are
15,584.
