Proposed Project: Teen Pregnancy 

Prevention Replication Evaluation 

Study: Baseline Data Collection—OMB 

No. OS–0990–NEW—The Office of 

Adolescent Health. 

Abstract 

The Office of Adolescent Health 

(OAH), Office of the Assistant Secretary 

for Health (OASH), U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS), is 

overseeing and coordinating adolescent 

pregnancy prevention evaluation efforts 

as part of the Teen Pregnancy 

Prevention Initiative. OAH is working 

collaboratively with the Office of the 

Assistant Secretary for Planning and 

Evaluation (ASPE), the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 

and the Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF) on adolescent pregnancy 

prevention evaluation activities. 

OAH will jointly oversee with ASPE 

the Teen Pregnancy Prevention 

Replication Evaluation Study (TPP 

Replication Study). The TPP Replication 

Study will be a random assignment 

evaluation which will determine the 

extent to which evidence-based program 

models that have been shown to be 

effective in an earlier trial, demonstrate 

effects on adolescent sexual risk 

behavior and teenage pregnancy when 

they are replicated in similar and in 

different settings and for different 

populations. 

The findings from this evaluation will 

be of interest to the general public, to 

policy-makers, and to organizations 

interested in teen pregnancy prevention. 

OAH and ASPE are proposing 

baseline data collection activity as part 

of the TPP Replication Evaluation. 

Respondents will be asked to answer 

carefully selected questions about 

demographics and risk and protective 

factors related to teen pregnancy. 

Information from this data collection 

will be used to perform meaningful 

analysis to determine significant 

program effects. 

Respondents: The survey data will be 

collected through private, selfadministered questionnaires completed 

by study participants, i.e. adolescents 

assigned to a select school or 

community teen pregnancy prevention 

program or a control group. Surveys will 

be distributed and collected by trained 

professional staff.

Proposed Project 

Fellowship Management System, 

OMB No. 0920–0765—Revision— 

Scientific Education and Professional 

Development Program Office (SEPDPO), 

Office of Surveillance, Epidemiology 

and Laboratory Services (OSELS), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

SEPDPO is requesting approval to 

revise and extend for three years; CDC’s 

use of the online Fellowship 

Management System (FMS) to allow 

public health agencies and 

organizations to submit fellowship 

assignment proposals electronically, 

using FMS. The FMS system will 

continue to be used for its electronic 

application and directory processes that 

allow individuals to apply to 

fellowships online, track applicant and 

alumni information. 

The mission of SEPDPO is to provide 

leadership in public health training and 

education, and manage innovative, 

evidence-based programs to prepare the 

health workforce to meet public health 

challenges of the 21st century. 

Professionals in public health, 

epidemiology, medicine, economics, 

information science, veterinary 

medicine, nursing, public policy, and 

other related professions seek 

opportunities, through CDC fellowships, 

to broaden their knowledge, skills, and 

experience to improve the science and 

practice of public health. CDC fellows 

are assigned to state, tribal, local and 

territorial public health agencies; federal 

government agencies, including CDC, 

and HHS operational divisions, such as 

Indian Health Service; and to 

nongovernmental organizations, 

including academic institutions, tribal

organizations, and private public health 

organizations. 

FMS provides an efficient and 

effective way for processing fellowship 

application data, selecting qualified 

candidates, maintaining a current 

alumni database, documenting the 

impact of the fellowships on alumni 

careers, and generating reports. This 

proposed revision will provide a secure 

site within this existing electronic 

system for designated employees of 

public health agencies and 

organizations to submit fellowship 

assignment proposals electronically. 

Designated employees of public 

health agencies or organizations will 

answer a standardized set of core 

questions within FMS about the 

proposed assignments, including the 

type of public health agency or 

organization submitting the proposal; 

proposed fellow activities, including 

training and opportunities for service 

and collaboration; and how the fellow 

will be supported, including the type 

and extent of mentorship and 

supervision the fellow will receive. 

This revision enhances FMS to 

include a function that will result in a 

standardized process for submitting and 

reviewing host assignment proposals 

across fellowships. The electronic 

assignment proposal process that FMS 

provides optimizes the matching of 

qualified fellowship candidates with 

host sites and will result in an optimal 

fit between fellows and their 

assignments—ultimately leading to 

long-term employment and sustained 

public health capacity of state and local 

health departments and other nonfederal public health agencies and 

organizations. 

The annual burden table has been 

updated to reflect the number of 

respondents from nonfederal public 

health agencies or organizations that 

submit assignment proposals to host 

fellows. Some alumni are deceased or 

cannot be located. Response burden 

assumes response from an individual 

responding alumnus, on average, every 

3 years (which is likely an overestimate 

of frequency). There is no cost to 

respondents other than their time. The 

total estimated annual burden hours are 

1201.

Proposed Project 

Evaluation of the National Tobacco 

Prevention and Control Public 

Education Campaign—New—National 

Center for Chronic Disease Prevention 

and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) requests OMB 

approval to collect information needed 

for evaluating the CDC’s National 

Tobacco Prevention and Control Public 

Education Campaign (The Campaign). 

This campaign, which is expected to 

launch in February/March 2012, is the 

first Federally-funded media campaign 

in the U.S. that describes the harms 

from smoking and will feature televised 

advertisements that will air nationally 

along with complementary ads on radio, 

the Internet, in print, and other forms of 

media. 

CDC plans to conduct an initial 

baseline survey of adults before the 

launch of The Campaign and a 

longitudinal follow-up survey of those 

participants approximately three to four 

months later. Information will be 

collected about adult smokers’ 

awareness of and exposure to campaign 

advertisements, and about their 

knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs related 

to smoking and secondhand smoke. In 

addition, the survey will measure 

behaviors related to smoking cessation 

and behaviors related to interpersonal 

communication about smoking. 

Information will also be collected on 

demographic variables including age, 

sex, race, education, income, primary 

language, and marital status. 

Data from this survey will be used to 

estimate the extent to which smokers 

and non-smokers in the U.S. were 

exposed to The Campaign and to 

examine the statistical relationships 

between adults’ exposure to The 

Campaign and changes in outcome 

variables of interest including attempts 

to quit smoking. 

Information will be collected through 

on-line questionnaires involving adult 

smokers and non-smokers in the U.S., 

ages 18–54. Respondents who are 

smokers will be recruited from two 

sources: a probability sample drawn 

from the Knowledge Networks 

KnowledgePanel®, a panel that uses 

address-based postal mail sampling to 

generate a probability-based online 

panel of U.S. adults, and a supplemental 

sample from SSI, a leading provider of 

online sampling in the U.S. 

Respondents who are non-smokers will 

be recruited from Knowledge Networks. 

The target number of complete pre-/ 

post-campaign questionnaires for 

smokers is 5,000. The target number of
