Title of the Collection: Prevention Communication Formative
Research--Revision--OMB No. 0990-0281.
Type of Collection: Revision.
OMB No.: 0990-0281--Office of Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion.
Abstract: The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
(ODPHP) is focused on developing and disseminating health information
to the public. ODPHP faces an increasingly urgent interest in finding
effective ways to communicate health information to America's diverse
population. ODPHP strives to be responsive to the needs of America's
diverse audiences while simultaneously serving all Americans across a
range of channels, from print to new communication technologies. To
carry out prevention information efforts, ODPHP is committed to
conducting formative and usability research to provide guidance on the
development and implementation of their communication and education
efforts. The information collected will be used to improve
communication, products, and services that support key office
activities including: Healthy People, Dietary Guidelines for Americans,
Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, healthfinder.gov, and
increasing health care quality and patient safety. ODPHP communicates
through its websites (http://www.healthfinder.gov/, http://www.healthypeople.gov/,
http://www.health.gov/) and through other channels including social media,
print materials, interactive training modules, and reports. This
request builds on previous formative research approaches to place more
emphasis on web-based data collection to allow greater geographical
diversity among respondents, to decrease respondent burden, and to save
government costs. Data collection will be qualitative and quantitative
and may include in-depth interviews, focus groups, web-based surveys,
omnibus surveys, card sorting, and various forms of usability testing
of materials and interactive tools to assess the public's understanding
of disease prevention and health promotion content, responses to
prototype materials, and barriers to effective use.
The program is requesting a 3-year clearance.
Likely Respondents: Respondents are likely to be either consumers
or health professionals.
