SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Extended Evaluation of the National Tobacco Prevention and Control
Public Education Campaign (OMB Control No. 0920-1083, Exp. 03/31/
2023)--Revision--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2012, HHS/CDC launched the National Tobacco Prevention and
Control Public Education Campaign, Tips From Former Smokers (Tips)
campaign. The primary objectives of the Tips campaign are to encourage
smokers to quit smoking and to encourage nonsmokers to communicate with
smokers about the dangers of smoking. Tips airs annually in all U.S.
media markets on broadcast and national cable TV as well as other media
channels including digital video, online display and banners, radio,
billboards, and other formats. Tips ads rely on evidence-based paid
media advertising that highlights the negative health consequences of
smoking. Tips primary target audience is adult smokers; adult
nonsmokers constitute the secondary audience. Tips paid advertisements
are aimed at providing motivation and support to smokers to quit, with
information and other resources to increase smokers' chances of success
in their attempts to quit smoking. A key objective for the nonsmoker
audience is to encourage nonsmokers to communicate with smokers they
may know (including family and friends) about the dangers of smoking
and to encourage them to quit. Tips ads also focus on increasing
audience's knowledge of smoking-related diseases, intentions to quit,
and other related outcomes.
The goal of the proposed information collection is to evaluate the
reach of the Tips campaign among intended audiences and to examine the
effectiveness of these efforts in impacting specific outcomes that are
targeted by Tips, including quit attempts and intentions to quit among
smokers, nonsmokers' communications about the dangers of smoking, and
knowledge of smoking-related diseases among both audiences. This will
require customized surveys that will capture all unique messages and
components of Tips. Information will be collected through Web-based
surveys to be self-administered by adults 18 and over on computers in
the respondent's home or in another convenient location. Evaluating the
impact of the Tips campaign on behavioral outcomes is necessary to
determine campaign cost effectiveness and to allow program planning for
the most effective campaign outcomes. Because Tips content changes, it
is necessary to evaluate each yearly implementation of the Tips
campaign.
The proposed information collection will include three survey
collections per year (nine surveys in total) generally conducted
before, during, and after the Tips campaign in each year. Using the
same methods outlined in the currently approved information collection
(OMB
[[Page 33492]]
Control No. 0920-1083, Exp. 3/31/2023), participants will be recruited
from two sources: (1) An online longitudinal cohort of adult smokers
and nonsmokers, sampled randomly from postal mailing addresses in the
United States (address-based sample, or ABS); and (2) the existing GfK/
Ipsos KnowledgePanel, an established long-term online panel of U.S.
adults. All online surveys, regardless of sample source, will be
conducted via the GfK/Ipsos KnowledgePanel Web portal for self-
administered surveys.
Information collected by these surveys include smokers' and
nonsmokers' awareness of and exposure to specific Tips advertisements;
knowledge, attitudes, beliefs related to smoking and secondhand smoke;
and other marketing exposures. The surveys will also measure behaviors
related to smoking cessation (among the smokers in the sample) and
behaviors related to nonsmokers' encouragement of smokers to quit
smoking, recommendations of cessation services, and attitudes about
other tobacco and nicotine products.
It is important to evaluate the Tips campaign in a context that
assesses the dynamic nature of tobacco product marketing and uptake of
various tobacco products, particularly since these may affect
successful cessation rates. Survey instruments may be updated to
include new or revised items on relevant topics, including cigars,
noncombustible tobacco products, and other emerging trends in tobacco
use.
The total response burden is estimated at 9,308 annual hours.
Approval is requested for three years between early fall 2023 and
December 2026. Participation is voluntary and there are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
