Proposed Collection 

Communication Research on Folic 

Acid to Support the Division of Birth 

Defects and Developmental 

Disabilities—New—National Center on 

Birth Defects and Developmental 

Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Since mandatory folic acid 

fortification of cereal grain products was 

mandated in 1998, rates of folic acidpreventable neural tube defects (NTDs) 

have declined. Disparities in rates 

remain, however, with NTD prevalence 

being highest among Hispanic women of 

childbearing age. Efforts to increase 

consumption of vitamin supplements 

containing folic acid among women in 

this ethnic group have been ongoing, 

however, due to differences in diet, 

many of these women have not 

benefitted from food fortification to the 

extent that other race/ethnic groups 

have. A performance goal for NCBDDD 

focuses specifically on the reduction of 

these disparities: Reduce health 

disparities in the occurrence of folic 

acid-preventable spina bifida and 

anencephaly by reducing the birth 

prevalence of these conditions. 

Moreover, Healthy People 2010 

objectives refer to the reduction of NTD 

rates and increase of folic acid 

consumption for all women of 

childbearing age: (1) Reduce the 

occurrence of spina bifida and other 

NTDs; (2) Increase the proportion of 

pregnancies begun with an optimum 

folic acid level by increasing the 

consumption of at least 400 mcg of folic 

acid each day from fortified foods or 

dietary supplements by nonpregnant 

women aged 15 to 44 and increasing the 

median red blood cell folate level 

among nonpregnant women aged 15 to 

44 years. The 2009 congressional 

omnibus appropriations language 

includes reference to reducing health 

disparities: ‘‘There is significant concern 

about disparity in the rates of folic acid 

intake and neural tube defects, 

particularly in the Hispanic population. 

Within the funds provided for folic acid, 

CDC is encouraged to provide increased 

funding to expand the folic acid 

education campaign to inform more 

women and healthcare providers about 

the benefits of folic acid * * *’’. Finally, 

CDC partners are working to develop a 

food additive petition that will be 

submitted for approval to the FDA. This 

petition would allow for the addition of 

folic acid to corn masa flour and corn 

masa flour products. Knowing the 

consumer attitudes toward this 

endeavor is important to the overall 

success of the effort. Although up to 

70% of neural tube defects can be 

prevented if a woman consumes folic 

acid before and during the first weeks of 

pregnancy, many women are still 

unaware of folic acid until they are 

already pregnant. Because half of all 

pregnancies in the U.S. are unplanned, 

reaching women with the folic acid 

message prior to pregnancy is critical. 

NCBDDD currently has several folic acid 

educational brochures, tip sheets, and 

booklets available in both English and 

Spanish. Since 2000, over 12 million 

folic acid materials have been 

distributed. Providing our partners, 

health care providers, and the public 

with evidence-based information in a 

format that is easy to read and visually 

appealing is important to the mission of 

the Prevention Research team. We want 

to ensure that the materials we currently 

have available still meet the needs of the 

intended audience. 

CDC, with contract support from 

Battelle Centers for Public Health 

Research and Evaluation, is conducting 

research to inform efforts to promote 

folic acid consumptions among women 

of child-bearing age through two 

closely-related data collection efforts: 

(1) Exploratory Research of Hispanic 

Women’s Reactions to and Beliefs About 

Folic Acid Fortification of Corn Masa 

Flour, and (2) Exploratory Research of 

Childbearing Age Women’s Folic Acid 

Awareness and Knowledge, and their 

Reactions to Existing CDC Folic Acid 

Educational Materials. The purpose of 

the first proposed primary data 

collection effort is to better understand 

consumer acceptance of fortifying corn 

masa flour, a staple product in many 

traditional Latino, and in particular 

Mexican, foods. The purpose of the 

second proposed primary data 

collection effort is to determine whether 

educational materials developed over 10 

years ago to promote folic acid 

consumption continue to be appealing 

and resonate with the target audience 

today. To address these two purposes 

and support the folic acid education 

efforts of CDC, focus groups with the 

target audience are needed. 

For the first data collection activity 

phase, participants will be English and 

Spanish-speaking women 18–44 years 

who self identify as Mexican or Mexican 

American, or Central American. 

Participants will be segmented into 

groups based on whether they consume 

corn masa flour less than 4 times per 

day or 4 or more times per day. The 

contractor will conduct sixteen (16) 

focus groups with five (5) participants 

in each focus group. It is estimated that 

320 respondents will have to be 

screened in order to recruit 80 focus 

group participants. Each screening will 

take approximately 6 minutes. The 

estimated response burden for the 

screening process is 32 hours. The focus 

group session will be structured to
