Proposed Collection Title: Generic Clearance to Support the Safe to
Sleep[supreg] Campaign at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute
for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), 0925-0701 Reinstatement
without Change 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 to
reinstate without change a 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[supreg]
(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, materials, and
messages. 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 SUID/SIDS Workgroup
members, SUID/SIDS stakeholders, clinical and maternal and child health
professionals. 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 online 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 clearance 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 12,920.
