Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 concerning opportunity for public comment on proposed
collections of information, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of
proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed project
or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the
SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other

Proposed Project--Talk. They Hear You.'' Campaign Evaluation: Case
Studies--NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) is requesting
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a new data
collection, ``Talk. They Hear You.'' Campaign Evaluation: Case Studies
(the ``case studies''). This collection includes three instruments:
1. Parent/Caregiver Pre-Test/Post-Test Survey
2. Youth Pre-Test and Post-Test Survey
3. Parent/Caregiver Interview Guide
The case studies collection is part of a larger effort to evaluate
the impact of the ``Talk. They Hear You.'' Campaign. These evaluations
will help determine the extent to which the campaign has been
successful in educating parents and caregivers nationwide about
effective methods for reducing underage drinking. The Campaign is
designed to educate and empower parents and caregivers to talk with
children about alcohol. To prevent initiation of underage drinking, the
campaign targets parents and caregivers of children aged 9-15, with the
specific aims of:
1. Increasing parents' awareness of the prevalence and risk of
underage drinking
2. Equipping parents with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to
prevent underage drinking
3. Increasing parents' actions to prevent underage drinking.
For this evaluation, SAMHSA intends to measure knowledge and
attitudes before and after a focused campaign outreach effort in areas
that have not previously had significant exposure to the campaign.
Participants in the evaluation will be recruited from a middle school
community, and will include parents/caregivers and students. School
administrators and partnering organization(s), such as parent
organizations and/or local prevention organizations will assist in the
dissemination of campaign materials and data collection efforts. There
will be two sites selected for the case studies--one site will serve as
the experimental group and the other site will serve as the control
group. The experimental group will be exposed to the ``Talk. They Hear
You.'' messages using standard campaign materials and dissemination
strategies, which will be coordinated through a local partner
organization. The control group will not be intentionally exposed to
the campaign materials. The case studies will include baseline surveys
of parents/caregivers and children of middle-school age in both the
experimental and control communities, followed by exposure to campaign
materials in the experimental community, and post-exposure surveys of
parents and children in both communities. Additionally, SAMHSA will
conduct 30 interviews with parents and caregivers following the post-
exposure surveys at the experimental site to obtain more detailed
information about the specific impact of the campaign.
