ABSTRACT:

The National Cancer Institute’s Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences, Behavioral Research Program is planning to conduct data collection using the Family Life, Activity, Sun, Health, and Eating (FLASHE) Survey. This submission is for the cognitive testing that will help refine and finalize the data collection instruments. For this generic sub-study, NCI is proposing formative research to refine the survey instruments. The objective of this cognitive testing is to identify any potential sources of measurement error within the questionnaires and to gather adequate information to make informed modifications to the questionnaires to reduce the potential for response error.

The research will consist of conducting 40 cognitive interviews with people who meet the eligibility criteria for FLASHE (parent-teenager dyads). There will be 20 pairs of a parent and his/her teenage child between the ages of 11 and 18. Each interview will be about an hour and a half long and participants will each receive cash incentive as a thank you for their participation. A $75 incentive will be provided for parent participants and a $50 incentive will be provided for teenage participants.
