The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
requests Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to conduct
in-person and Web-based surveys of youth in targeted areas in the
United States. These surveys will be fielded for purposes of
evaluating FDA's general market youth tobacco prevention campaigns.
The primary outcome evaluation will consist of an initial baseline
survey before the launch of each of three campaigns and three
longitudinal follow-up surveys of those participants in 8-month
intervals following the baseline data collection. In addition, a
tracking survey to assess awareness of the campaigns and
receptivity to campaign messages will occur in 8-month intervals
throughout the data collection period. As part of the outcome
evaluation study, a baseline survey will also be conducted with the
parent or legal guardian of each youth baseline survey participant
in order to collect data on household characteristics and media
use. Data from this evaluation will be used to gauge campaign
awareness and examine the statistical relationships between
exposure to the campaigns and changes in outcome variables of
interest.
