Need and Use of Information Collection: Media-Smart Youth: Eat,
Think, and Be Active![supreg] is an interactive program designed to
teach youth ages 11-13 about how media can affect their health.
Developed by the NIH's Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of
Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the program includes 10
lessons on media analysis, nutrition, and physical activity, plus a
final capstone project. The Media-Smart Youth[supreg] Leaders Program
is designed for teens and adults, ages 15 years and up, who are
interested in bringing the Media-Smart Youth program to their
community. In return for recruiting youth participants, teaching the 10
lessons, and leading the final project, Media-Smart Youth Leaders will
receive leadership experience, community service hours, and recognition
from the NICHD. To help Leaders succeed, the NICHD will provide
training, ongoing assistance, and a small funding amount for program
expenses.
The purpose of this information collection is to solicit
information from applicants about their qualifications that would make
them effective Leaders, their reason for wanting to pursue this
opportunity, and the details of their proposed program (including, but
not limited to, location, community partner(s), and proposed budget).
This information will help NICHD staff select the candidates for the
program who are most likely to succeed in implementing the full
curriculum and teaching youth effective lessons about nutrition,
physical activity, and media.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 800.
