Title of the Collection: ASPA COVID-19 Public Education Campaign
Market Research.
Type of Collection: Revision.
OMB No. 0990-0476--Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public
Affairs (ASPA) within Office of the Secretary.
Abstract
The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs (ASPA),
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is requesting a
revision on a currently approved collection including three components:
1. Current Events Tracker (CET), 2. Qualitative data collection in the
form of focus groups, interviews, and dyads, and 3. Copy testing
surveys. This revision supports continuation of the approved data
collection by adding burden and iterations to support the program
during the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency and through the
expiration of the package 0990-0476 in early 2024. Together, these
efforts support the development and execution of the COVID-19 Public
Education Campaign. The broad purpose of each effort is as follows:
Current Events Tracker
The primary purpose of the COVID-19 Current Events Tracker (CET)
survey is to continuously track key metrics of importance to the
Campaign, including vaccine confidence and uptake, familiarity with and
trust in HHS and other trusted messengers, and the impact of external
events on key attitudes and behaviors. This information will inform
Campaign development and execution including changes in messaging
strategies necessary to effectively reach the entire U.S. population or
specific subgroups.
Focus Groups/Interviews/Dyads
ASPA is collecting information qualitatively to inform the Campaign
about audience risk knowledge, perceptions, current behaviors, and
barriers and motivators to healthy behaviors (including COVID-19
vaccination). Ultimately these focus groups, interviews, and/or dyads
will provide in-depth insights regarding information needed by Campaign
audiences as well as their attitudes and behaviors related to COVID-19
and the COVID-19 vaccines. These will be used to inform the development
of Campaign messages and strategy.
Copy Testing Surveys
Prior to placing Campaign advertisements in market, ASPA will
conduct copy testing surveys to ensure the final Campaign messages have
the intended effect on target attitudes and behaviors. Copy testing
surveys will be conducted with sample members who comprise the target
audiences; these surveys will assess perceived effectiveness of the
advertisements as well as the effect of exposure to an ad on key
attitudes and behavioral intentions. The results from these surveys
will be used internally by ASPA to inform decisions on Campaign
messages and materials; for example, to identify revisions to the
materials or determine which advertisement to move to market.
