This package is a request for OMB to
approve the new submission titled, "The Family Life, Activity, Sun,
Health and Eating Study" (FLASHE Study) for two years. The FLASHE
Study takes a dyadic approach to examine psychosocial, generational
(parent-adolescent), and environmental correlates of cancer
preventive behaviors. FLASHE will examine the science of cancer and
obesity prevention by examining correlates of cancer preventive
behaviors, mainly diet, activity, and sedentary behaviors (but also
examining other behaviors such as sleep, sun-safety, and tobacco)
in new ways not previously addressed comprehensively on other
surveys in samples of parents and their adolescent children. The
survey's goal is to advance understanding of the dynamic
relationship between the environment, psychosocial factors, and
cancer preventive behaviors from a dyadic perspective. Data
collected will ultimately be a public use dataset and resource to
the research community. FLASHE will be collecting data from parents
and their adolescent children using a web survey format with a
final estimated sample size of 2,500 dyads, with motion sensing
data collected in a subsample of 900 adolescents.
