Title of the Collection: ASPA COVID-19 Public Education Campaign
Market Research.
Type of Collection: Revision.
OMB No. 0990-0476.
Abstract:
The Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs. This submission contains five
parts: 1. COVID-19 Current Events Tracker; 2. Foundational Focus
Groups/Interviews/Dyads; 3. Copy Testing Surveys; 4. Message Matrix
Surveys; and 5. Creative Testing Surveys and Experiments. The original
package included items 1-3. We are submitting this revision to add
items 4 (Message Matrix Surveys) and 5 (Creative Testing Surveys and
Experiments) to this collection. All data collection will be from
individuals.
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, familiarity
with and trust in HHS, and the impact of external events on key
attitudes and behaviors among U.S. adults. The CET involves weekly data
collection over 3 years.
Foundational Focus Groups, Interviews, and/or Dyads: The primary
purpose is to collect information to inform the Campaign about audience
risk knowledge, perceptions, current behaviors, and barriers and
motivators to healthy behaviors (including COVID-19 vaccination), to
inform the development of Campaign messages and strategy. Over 3 years,
we will conduct up to 20 rounds of data collection.
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. The copy testing survey will field for a maximum of 36 waves
over 3 years.
Message Matrix Surveys: The purpose of the Messaging Matrix surveys
is to evaluate, validate, and prioritize Campaign messages for various
target audiences. Findings from these surveys will be used to inform
the development of Campaign messages and strategy. ASPA will conduct up
to 9 Messaging Matrix survey under this package.
Creative Testing Surveys and Experiments: The purpose of the
Creative Testing Surveys and Experiments is to assess participant
reactions to various Campaign materials to inform the selection and
development of creative concepts, messages, or material format used for
campaign outreach to key audiences. ASPA will conduct up to 6 waves of
data collection under this package.

Estimated Annualized Burden Table

Current Events Tracker

For the CET we estimate that 1,000 complete respondents x 0.12
hours per complete survey submission = approximately 120 burden hours
associated with completing this survey each wave. No separate screening
of participants will be required because Ipsos stores panel variables
that determine the eligibility of each panel member without the need
for a screener instrument. Only eligible panel members will be invited
to take the survey. Over 138 total waves, the total burden is estimated
to be approximately 16,560 total burden hours.

Foundational Focus Groups, Interviews, and/or Dyads

For the foundational focus groups, we estimate screening a maximum
of 2,500 potential respondents x .09 hours (5 minutes) = 225 hours
associated with screening participants during each round. In addition,
each round will include a maximum of 108 respondents x 1.5 hours per
focus group = 162 burden hours associated with the discussion for each
round of focus groups. (Note that the exact burden hours will vary
depending on the type of study conducted; these estimates serve as a
maximum number of participants/hours because in-depth interviews or
dyads would involve fewer participants). Over the course of the
Campaign, this will amount to a maximum of 20 rounds of qualitative
research, for a total of 7,740 burden hours.

Focus group participants are also included in the focus group screening, so are only counted once toward the
total number of respondents.
.1548 is approximately 9.3 minutes; it is the weighted average over the screener and interview for all
participants.

Copy Testing Surveys

For the copy testing survey, we estimate screening 15,000 potential
respondents x .03 hours (2 minutes) = 450 hours associated with
screening survey participants during each wave. Note that this is a
maximum estimate that may be necessary to find members of particularly
small audiences of interest. In addition, we will obtain 1,500
respondents x .33 hours (20 minutes) per submission = 495 hours
associated with completed surveys in each wave of Campaign message
testing. Over the course of the Campaign, this will amount to a maximum
of 36 Waves, for a total of 34,020 burden hours.

Survey completes are also included in the survey screener, so are only counted once toward the total number of
respondents.
.063 is approximately 3.8 minutes; it is the weighted average over the screener and survey for all participants.

Message Matrices

Each Message Matrix survey will recruit up to 4,000 respondents. We
estimate screening 42,000 potential respondents x 0.03 hours (2
minutes) = 1,400 hours associated with screening survey participants.
Note that this is a maximum estimate that may be necessary to find
members of particularly small audiences of interest. In addition, we
will obtain survey responses from up to 4,000 respondents: 4,000 x 0.33
hours (20 minutes) = 1,333 hours associated with survey completion.
Over the course of the Campaign, this will amount to a maximum of 9
rounds of data collection, for a total of 24,600 burden hours.

respondents.
.065 is approximately 3.9 minutes; it is the weighted average over the screener and survey for all participants.

Creative Testing Surveys and Experiments

Each Creative Testing Survey or Experiment will recruit up to 3,000
respondents. We estimate screening 42,000 potential respondents x 0.03
hours (2 minutes) = 1,400 hours associated with screening survey
participants. Note that this is a maximum estimate that may be
necessary to find members of particularly small audiences of interest.
In addition, we will obtain survey responses from up to 3,000
respondents: 3,000 x 0.33 hours (20 minutes) = 1,000 hours associated
with survey completion. Over the course of the Campaign, this will
amount to a maximum of 6 rounds of data collection, for a total of
14,400 burden hours.
