participating schools.6 Thus, the
incremental PRA burden for teachers
and students would be much less than
the estimates shown above.7 For
example, if only the time required to
take or administer the 20-minute test is
considered, the resulting total would be
a small fraction of the totals noted
above.
A few participating teachers (20–40)
also will take part in focus group
discussions, lasting approximately 90
minutes. The estimated teacher time in
focus groups, including an added hour
of round-trip transportation to and from
the discussion site, is 50–100 hours.
Finally, administering the study will
impose a small time burden on school
district staff charged with scoring the
tests and with compiling a master data
set of 8–12 year-old students, stripped
of personally identifiable information
(to facilitate random assignment to
treatment and control groups). These
programming and data management
tasks should take approximately 10–15
hours.
The cumulative burden for
participating students, teachers, and
school district staff for the Admongo
evaluation will total 34,300–45,769
hours. Again, however, the bulk of this
time would be subsumed within preexisting classroom requirements.

C. Estimated Costs
The cost per respondent should be
negligible in both the evaluation and
focus group components of the study.
The participation of the school district
in the evaluation is voluntary, and the
district will use the Admongo program
to meet curriculum requirements. Thus,
participation in the evaluation study
will not impose any start-up, capital, or
labor expenditures beyond those
ordinarily incurred by the district to
administer curriculum units.
Participation by students in the
evaluation and teachers in the focus
groups also will be voluntary and not
impose any start-up, capital, or labor
expenditures. Teachers participating in
the focus groups will be compensated at
the standard rate paid by the contractor
to focus group participants. The school
district will be compensated for the cost
of the staff time to perform the data
management and test-scoring tasks.
D. Request for Comment

paper. For the Commission to consider

Proposed Project
Formative Research and Tool
Development—(OMB # 0920–0840, Exp.
3/31/2013)—Revision—National Center
for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention request approval to collect
formative research and tool
development data over a three-year
period. This information collection
request has been revised to include one
additional type of formative research
information collection activity,
additional detail regarding the
previously approved categories of
formative research, and instrument
testing for data collection activities used
to inform many aspects of surveillance,
communications, health promotion, and
research project development for
NCHHSTP’s four priority diseases (HIV/
AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases/
infections (STD/STI), viral hepatitis,
and tuberculosis elimination).
Formative research is the basis for
developing effective strategies including
communication channels, for
influencing behavior change. It helps
researchers identify and understand the
characteristics (interests, behaviors and
needs) of target populations that
influence their decisions and actions.
Formative research is research that
occurs before a program is designed and
implemented, or while a program is
being conducted and is and is integral
in developing programs as well as

This request also includes collection
of information from public health
programs to assess needs related to
initiation of a new program activity or
expansion or changes in scope or
implementation of existing program
activities to adapt them to current
needs. The information collected will be
used to advise programs and provide
capacity-building assistance tailored to
identified needs.
Overall, these development activities
are intended to provide information that
will increase the success of the
surveillance or research projects
through increasing response rates and
decreasing response error, thereby
decreasing future data collection burden
to the public. The studies that will be
covered under this request will consist
of healthcare providers and the general
public as respondents and will include
one or more of the following
investigational modalities: (1)
Structured and qualitative interviewing
for surveillance, research, interventions
and material development, (2) cognitive
interviewing for development of specific
data collection instruments, (3)
methodological research, (4) usability
testing of technology-based instruments
and materials, (5) field testing of new
methodologies and materials, (6)
investigation of mental models for
health decision-making, to inform
health communication messages, and (7)
organizational needs assessment to
support development of capacity.
Respondents who will participate in
individual and group interviews
(qualitative, cognitive, and computer
assisted development activities) are
selected purposively from those who
respond to recruitment advertisements.
In addition to utilizing advertisements
for recruitment, respondents who will
participate in research on survey
methods may be selected purposively or
systematically from within an ongoing
surveillance or research project.
Participation of respondents is
voluntary.
There is no cost to participants other
than their time.

improving existing and ongoing
programs. Formative research also looks
at the community in which a public
health intervention is being or will be
implemented and helps the project staff
understand the interests, attributes and
needs of different populations and
persons in that community.
Formative research is also an integral
part of adapting programs that deal with
the complexity of behaviors, social
context, cultural identities, and health
care that underlie the epidemiology of
HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and
tuberculosis (TB) in the U.S.
CDC conducts formative research to
develop public-sensitive
communication messages and userfriendly tools prior to developing or
recommending interventions, or care.
Sometimes these studies are entirely
behavioral but most often they are
cycles of interviews and focus groups
designed to inform the development of
a product.
Products from these formative
research studies will be used for
prevention of HIV/AIDS, Sexually
Transmitted Infections (STI), viral
Hepatitis, and Tuberculosis. Findings
from these studies may also be
presented as evidence to diseasespecific National Advisory Committees,
to support revisions to recommended
prevention and intervention methods, as
well as new recommendations.
Much of CDC’s health communication
takes place within campaigns that have
fairly lengthy planning periods—
timeframes that accommodate the
standard Federal process for approving
data collections.
This request includes studies
investigating the utility and
acceptability of proposed sampling and
recruitment methods, intervention
contents and delivery, questionnaire
domains, individual questions, and
interactions with project staff or
electronic data collection equipment.
These activities will also provide
information about how respondents
answer questions and ways in which
question response bias and error can be
reduced.
