17 years who attend school; 15–17 years 

who do not attend school; 18–25 years 

who are employed; and 18–25 years 

who attend school full-time. Focus 

groups will be conducted at local predetermined focus group facilities, and 

surveys will be conducted online and in 

malls. Women ages 18–25 years, both 

employed and working full-time, will be 

recruited by phone through professional 

recruitment vendors for focus groups; 

and in malls and on social networking 

sites for surveys. Girls ages 15–17 years, 

who do and do not attend school fulltime, will be recruited by phone through 

professional recruitment vendors for 

focus groups, once parental consent is 

obtained; and in malls and through 

social networking sites (without 

parental consent) for surveys. The 

Academy for Educational Development 

(contractor to which this task order, 

#200–2006–F–19070, was awarded) will 

be conducting the research. 

There are no costs to the respondents 

other than their time.

Proposed Project 

Youth Advice & Feedback to Inform 

Choose Respect Implementation 

(New)—National Center for Injury 

Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

NCIPC seeks to obtain, over a five year 

period, advice and feedback from 

tweens/teens (aged 11–14) regarding 

message development/placement, 

creative executions, appropriate 

partners, and other similar issues, to 

inform ongoing implementation and 

evaluation of the Choose Respect 

campaign (OMB#0920–0687), an 

initiative intended to promote youth 

awareness of and participation in 

healthy peer relationships. 

Communication research indicates that 

campaign planning implementation 

must employ a consumer-oriented 

approach to ensure that program 

messages/materials, and their 

placement, can successfully gain the 

attention of and resonate with the 

intended audience. To that end, the 

NCIPC proposes conducting further 

planning, implementation, and 

evaluation research that enlists the 

involvement and support of youth, 

parents and other influencers and 

measures the effect of the campaign on 

the target audiences. The evaluation 

will provide interim and ongoing 

feedback to campaign planners 

regarding the implementation and 

progress of the campaign. 

The proposed data collection will 

enlist geographically, culturally/ 

racially/ethnically, and socioeconomically diverse groups of young 

people to complete: (1) Ten-minute 

online surveys, with 200 respondents, 

four times per year; and (2) 12 in-person 

focus groups, with 12 participants each, 

twice per year. Online surveys will 

reduce the potential burden for young 

people as web-based formats are 

convenient and consistent with the way 

they communicate and spend their 

leisure time. Online surveys—Each webbased survey will involve a different 

group of 200 tweens/teens. In-person 

focus groups—First and second focus 

groups will involve different groups of 

young people. The following focus 

groups will be segmented by age and 

gender, as indicated. The total 

annualized estimated burden hours are 

1,354. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time.

Proposed Project 

Testing and Development of Materials 

Promoting Prevention and Control of 

Traumatic Brain Injury in Schools— 

New—Division of Injury Response 

(DIR), National Center for Injury 

Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Each year, an estimated 1.4 million 

Americans sustain a traumatic brain 

injury (TBI). A TBI is caused by a bump, 

blow, or jolt to the head or a penetrating 

head injury that disrupts the normal 

function of the brain. 

Children ages 0 to 4 years and 

adolescents ages 15–19 are at the 

greatest risk of sustaining a TBI, as they 

often sustain TBIs from a host of 

mechanisms including falls (down stairs 

or from heights such as counter tops or 

beds), direct impacts (e.g., getting hit in 

the head with a ball), and motor vehicle 

crashes. 

In order to address this important 

public health problem among young 

children and adolescents, CDC plans to 

conduct a national TBI educational 

initiative aimed at school nurses, school 

counselors, school psychologists, and 

school administrators. These interviews 

will be targeted because they are well 

positioned to address short- and longterm issues related to TBI. CDC will 

develop educational materials and 

messages for these audiences, as well as 

tools for partners, to help improve the 

prevention, recognition, and 

management of TBI among school-aged 

children and adolescents. This audience 

can also work with schools to institute 

TBI specific back-to-school and returnto-play plans. 

As part of this research, school 

nurses, counselors, psychologists, and 

administrators will participate in 

professionally moderated individual indepth interviews. Information will be 

collected concerning respondents’ 

knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about 

traumatic brain injury and where and 

how they get health information. 

A total of 96 potential respondents 

will be screened. From this number, 30 

school professionals and 15 school 

administrators will be interviewed. 

The goal of these interviews is to 

understand needs of school 

professionals in the targeted audience 

for materials or tools related to TBI. The 

materials will provide guidance on how 

to prevent and recognize TBI in 

students. The content discussed in these 

interviews will be used to refine 

materials and develop future materials. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annual burden hours are 61.
