National Institutes of Health
A Comprehensive Alcohol Education Program for Pre-Adolescents
Using Interactive Multimedia
Proposed Data Collection
In compliance with Section 3506 (c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism (NIAAA), National Institutes of Health (NIH) is publishing
this notice to solicit public comment on the data collection proposed
for the study on ``A Comprehensive Alcohol Education Program for Pre-
Adolescents Using Interactive Multimedia.'' To request copies of the
data collection plans and interview instruments, call Dr. Kendall
Bryant, (301) 443-8820 (not a toll-free number).
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection is
necessary, including whether the information has a practical use; (b)
ways to enhance the clarity, quality, and use of the information to be
collected; (c) the accuracy of the agency estimate of burden of the
proposed collection; (d) ways to minimize the collection burden of the
respondents. Written comments are requested within 60 days of the
publication of this notice. Send comments to Dr. Kendall Bryant,
Prevention Research Branch, Division of Clinical and Prevention
Research (DCPR), NIAAA, NIH, Building 6000, Room 505, 6000 Executive
Boulevard, MSC 7003, Bethesda, Maryland 20892-7003.
Proposed Project
The Prevention Research Branch (PRB), intends to conduct the study
for ``A Comprehensive Alcohol Education Program for Pre-Adolescents
Using Interactive Multimedia.'' The PRB is authorized by Section 452 of
Part G of Title IV of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 288) as
amended by the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 (Public Law 103-43).
The information proposed for collection will be used by the NIAAA
to determine the efficacy of interactive multimedia for delaying the
onset of drinking among 7th and 8th grade males and females.
Interactive multimedia enables the combination of the elements of
television and movies that engage and motivate the target population
with computer-based interaction, simulations, and games to (1) increase
information about the negative consequences of teen drinking and (2)
teach practical skills for avoiding and refusing alcohol. Subject
participation will involve (1) focus groups, during development of the
multimedia program, and (2) post-development behavioral trials.
The annual burden estimates are as follows:
