Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Study of Substance Abuse 

doc.com Module Project 

SUMMARY: In compliance with Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 concerning 

opportunity for public comment on 

proposed collections of information, the 

National Institute on Drug Abuse 

(NIDA), the National Institutes of Health 

(NIH) will publish periodic summaries 

of proposed projects to be submitted to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval. 

Proposed Collection: Title: Study of 

Substance Abuse doc.com Module 

Project. Type of Information Collection 

Request: NEW. Need and Use of 

Information Collection: This is a request 

for a two-year generic clearance to a 

conduct research study to assess the 

efficacy of a specific interactive webbased teaching module in the field of 

professional education of healthcare 

providers. This online module was 

developed as a work product by the 

same team of investigators from Drexel 

University College of Medicine 

(DUCOM) and University of 

Pennsylvania School of Medicine (Penn 

Med) under a contract as part of NIDA’s 

Center of Excellence (CoE) for Physician 

Information. This project will assess 

efficacy of the NIDA CoE online 

teaching module with educational 

interventions in enhancing: (1) The 

knowledge of healthcare professionals 

about substance use disorders; (2) 

attitudes of healthcare professionals 

toward patients with these disorders 

and (3) communication skills in 

providing assessment and referral to 

treatment for patients who abuse 

substances. The overall goal of this 

project is to assess the efficacy of an 

educational intervention, which should 

result in an increase in the involvement 

of primary care providers in the 

screening, managing and, when 

appropriate, referring patients with 

substance use disorders. This effort is 

made according to Executive Order 

12862, which directs Federal agencies 

that provide significant services directly 

to the public to survey customers to 

determine the kind and quality of 

services they want and their level of 

satisfaction with existing services. 

The project will utilize a randomized 

cluster controlled trial design that 

compares the group that receives 

educational exposure to the set of new 

educational interventions (NIDA online 

teaching module plus educational 

adjuncts) to a control group that 

receives exposure to the standard 

medical school or residency educational 

curriculum related to substance use 

disorders. The project will use a 

repeated measures approach to assess 

the educational intervention’s efficacy 

(i.e., individuals will take surveys 

before and after exposure to the 

intervention or to the control 

curriculum). The outcomes of the study 

will be based on changes in knowledge, 

attitudes and indirect measures of 

communication skills before and after 

the intervention, compared to the 

changes in these parameters in the 

control group. 

Frequency of Response: This project 

will be conducted annually or 

biennially. Affected Public: Individuals 

and businesses. Type of Respondents: 

medical students and resident 

physicians. The annual reporting 

burden is calculated as follows: 

Estimated Total Annual Number of 

Respondents: 708; Estimated Number of 

Responses per Respondent: 4 for 

medical students; 2 for resident 

physicians; Average Burden Hours per 

Response: 0.17. Estimated Total Annual 

Burden Hours Requested: 377; There are 

no Capital Costs to report. There are no 

Operating or Maintenance Costs to 

report. The estimated annualized 

burden is summarized below.

Request for Comments: Written 

comments and/or suggestions from the 

public and affected agencies are invited 

on one or more of the following points: 

(1) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information; (3) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Questionnaire Cognitive 

Interview and Pretesting (NCI) 

Summary: In compliance with the 

requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

for opportunity for public comment on 

proposed data collection projects, the 

National Cancer Institute (NCI), the 

National Institutes of Health (NIH) will 

publish periodic summaries of proposed 

projects to be submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval. 

Proposed Collection: Title: 

Questionnaire Cognitive Interview and 

Pretesting. Type of Information 

Collection Request: Extension. Need and 

Use of Information Collection: The 

purpose of the data collection is to 

conduct cognitive interviews, focus 

groups, Pilot household interviews, and 

experimental research in laboratory and 

field settings, both for applied 

questionnaire evaluation and more basic 

research on response errors in surveys. 

The most common evaluation method is 

the cognitive interview, in which a 

questionnaire design specialist 

interviews a volunteer participant. The 

interviewer administers the draft survey 

questions as written, but also probes the 

participant in depth about 

interpretations of questions, recall 

processes used to answer them, and 

adequacy of response categories to 

express answers, while noting points of 

confusion and errors in responding. 

Interviews are generally conducted in 

small rounds of 10–15 interviews. When 

possible, cognitive interviews are 

conducted in the survey’s intended 

mode of administration. Cognitive 

interviewing provides useful 

information on questionnaire 

performance at minimal cost and 

respondent burden. Similar 

methodology has been adopted by other 

Federal agencies, as well as by academic 

and commercial survey organizations. 

There are no costs to respondents other 

than their time. The total estimated 

annualized burden hours are 600. 

Frequency of Response: Once. Affected 

Public: Individuals and households, 

Private Sector (business or other forprofits, not-for-profit institutions) and 

possibly, State, Local or Tribal 

Governments. The table below 

represents the burden over a three-year 

data collection period, which is a 

typical request for a generic submission.

The estimated total annual burden 

hours requested is 1,200 which amounts 

to approximately 3,600 hours over three 

years. There are no annualized costs to 

respondents. The annualized costs to 

the Federal Government are estimated at 

$264,000 and include cost of NCI staff 

to plan, conduct, and analyze outcomes 

of questionnaire development, 

contracting for pretesting activities and 

research, travel costs, and additional 

materials needed to conduct and recruit 

participants for the research. 

Request for Comments: Written 

comments and/or suggestions from the 

public and affected agencies are invited 

on one or more of the following points: 

(1) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the function of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) 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) Ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

Ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.
