SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Information Collection

These three surveys will serve

multiple purposes. They will gauge

recruitment-age youth’s and their

influencers’ awareness of, familiarity

with, attitudes about and feelings

toward the Air Force. These measures

will be made at roughly 3-month

intervals during the course of the

current USAF television advertising

campaign, giving insight into the

communication initiative’s ongoing

performance. The surveys will allow

direct comparison of target youth and

influential adult thinking about factors

affecting recruitment decision-making.

Findings from these surveys of the

civilian population also will be

compared with similar data to be

gathered from the internal USAF

population at approximately the same

time, providing a valuable head-to-head

comparison of civilians’ and Air Force

people’s perceptions of what the Air

Force does and why a young person

should want to join.

Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
