 *Title:*
                     Public Education Study on Public Knowledge of Abstinence and Abstinence Education. *OMB No.:*
                     New Collection. *Description:*
                     In support of the goal to prevent unwed childbearing, pregnancy, and sexually transmitted diseases, Congress has recently authorized funding increases to support abstinence education. To learn more about the public's views, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) will conduct a public opinion survey of a nationally representative sample of adolescents (age 12 to 18) and their parents to examine current attitudes on abstinence and knowledge of abstinence education. The survey data will be used to inform current and future public education campaigns. In addition, the information gathered will assist ACF with grant administration and technical assistance activities. The survey will ask parents (one parent per adolescent) and adolescents about their views and attitudes about abstinence until marriage, awareness of abstinence education, and views and attitudes about abstinence education. Each parent and adolescent interview will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. *Respondents:*
                     A nationally representative sample of adolescents will be selected through a random-digit-dial sample of households with landline telephones. Annual Burden Estimates
