Agency Information Collection

Activities: Submission for OMB

Review; Comment Request

Periodically, the Substance Abuse and

Mental Health Services Administration

(SAMHSA) will publish a list of

information collection requests under

OMB review, in compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35). To request a copy of these

documents, call the SAMHSA Reports

Clearance Officer on (301) 443–7978.

Survey of Persons Requesting

‘‘Hablemos en Confianza’’ and ‘‘Activity

Book’’ Substance Abuse Prevention

Materials—New—In the United States,

Hispanic/Latinos present a

disproportionately higher prevalence of

alcohol, tobacco, cocaine, and marijuana

use than other ethnic groups. In the

Spring of 1995, the Secretary of the

U.S. Department of Health and Human

Services authorized the establishment of

the Departmental Working Group on

Hispanic Issues. Part of the Hispanic

Agenda for Action calls for an increase

in the Department’s capacity to reach

out and communicate with Hispanic/

Latino populations using culturally and

language appropriate techniques. Indepth literature review documented a

lack of materials focusing on substance

abuse prevention targeting Hispanic/

Latino populations. Based on formative

research, the ‘‘Hablemos en Confianza’’

kit (HEC) and the ‘‘Activity Book’’ were

designed specifically to respond to this

need for culturally and language

appropriate materials.

The HEC kit consists of five booklets

addressing various aspects of

communication between parents/

caregivers with children, three

fotonovelas with open-ended stories of

Hispanic/Latino families who are

learning to discuss and resolve the issue

of alcohol and drug use by their

children, and a poster for youth 13–17

years old; the ‘‘Activity Book’’ has

games and coloring sections for children

4–6 years of age and introduces topics

of healthy behavior to prompt family

members to talk to each other about

physican and emotional issues. The

dissemination of the materials was

initiated in October, 1999 through the

National Clearinghouse for Alcohol, and

Drug Information (NCADI). The

information resulting from the proposed

survey will be employed by SAMHSA’s

Center for Substance Abuse Prevention

(CSAP) to assess the quality of the

materials regarding cultural adequacy

and clarity, as well as the short term

impact of the messages. This

information will be instrumental in

highlighting areas that should be

addressed in future CSAP prevention/

education materials targeting Hispanic/

Latino audiences.

The adequacy of the prevention

messages will be assessed by conducting

a survey to collect data on five major

areas: (1) Assess the degree to which the

materials raise awareness in parents/

caregivers about the potential

communication problems with their

children regarding substance use/abuse

matters; (2) assess the degree to which

the materials prompt parents/caregivers

to generate intent or to pursue actions

toward improving communication with

their children; (3) assess the degree to

which the materials are perceived as

providing and/or increasing adults’

capacity to communicate with youth; (4)

assess the quality of the materials

(clarity of the messages, cultural

adequacy, and attractiveness of the

materials); and (5) determine whether

there are aspects to be modified and/or

enhanced in the development of future

materials focusing substance use/abuse

targeted to Hispanic/Latino audiences.

The study population is composed of

parents or care givers (person

responsible for the care of the children)

who have requested the materials from

NCADI and those who order small

multiples (50 copies or fewer) that are

small organizations that have a working

knowledge of the materials they

distribute.

response burden for this project.

official record of the construction

materials proposed for single family

dwellings. Form HUD–92005 reflects

the requirements of 24 CFR 200.929d

the single family home construction

industry. Without Form HUD–92005 or

a similar record, it would be extremely

difficuilt for HUD to determine if the

proposed construction met regulatory

requirements.
