SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title of Collection: Survey of Public

Attitudes Toward and Understanding of

Science and Technology (OMB Control

1. Use of the information. The

proposed continuing information

collection is a survey used to monitor

public attitudes towards science and

technology, including the public’s level

of scientific understanding and policy

preferences on selected issues. This

telephone survey has been conducted

approximately every two years for more

than 20 years, and the information

collected with it appears in the

Congressionally mandated National

Science Board biennial report, Science

and Engineering Indicators, and other

pubications. Information on public

attitudes and understanding of science

and technology is used by government

and nongovernment policy makers in

developing and designing science and

education programs and by researchers

in government, industry, and academia.

The proposed collection will occur in

early 2001.

2. Expected respondents. The survey

will be conducted by telephone. Using

state-of-the-art, computer-assisted

telephone interviewing software and

random digit dialing, approximately

2000 adults will be contacted and asked

a series of questions designed to

measure their attitudes toward science

and technology and their understanding

of scientific concepts.

3. Burden on the public. The

estimated respondent burden is 1000

hours. This estimate is based on the

completion of 2000 telephone

interviews with an average length of 30

minutes each.
