Proposed Project: Pretesting of Substance Abuse Prevention and
Treatment and Mental Health Services Communications Messages--(OMB No.
0930-0196)--Reinstatement
As the federal agency responsible for developing and disseminating
authoritative knowledge about substance abuse prevention, addiction
treatment, and mental health services and for mobilizing consumer
support and increasing public understanding to overcome the stigma
attached to addiction and mental illness, SAMHSA is responsible for
development and dissemination of a wide range of education and
information materials for both the general public and the professional
communities. This submission is for generic approval and will provide
for formative and qualitative evaluation activities to; (1) assess
audience knowledge, attitudes, behavior and other characteristics for
the planning and development of messages, communication strategies and
public information programs; and (2) test these messages, strategies
and program components in developmental form to assess audience
comprehension, reactions, and perceptions. Information obtained from
testing can then be used to improve materials and strategies while
revisions are still affordable and possible. The annual burden
associated with these activities is summarized below.
