    Abstract: The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(ODPHP) is focused on developing and disseminating health information 
to the public. ODPHP faces an increasingly urgent interest in finding 
effective ways to communicate health information to

[[Page 83506]]

America's diverse population. ODPHP strives to be responsive to the 
needs of America's diverse audiences while simultaneously serving all 
Americans across a range of channels, from print to new communication 
technologies. To carry out prevention information efforts, ODPHP is 
committed to conducting formative and usability research to provide 
guidance on the development and implementation of their communication 
and education efforts. The information collected will be used to 
improve communication, products, and services that support key office 
activities including: Healthy People, Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 
Food Is Medicine, Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, 
MyHealthfinder, the Move Your Way[supreg] Campaign, the President's 
Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition, health literacy and healthy 
aging. ODPHP communicates through its website (www.health.gov) and 
through other channels including social media, print materials, 
interactive training modules, and reports. This request builds on 
previous formative research approaches to place more emphasis on Web-
based data collection to allow greater geographical diversity among 
respondents, to decrease respondent burden, and to save government 
costs. Data collection will be qualitative and quantitative and may 
include in-depth interviews, focus groups, web-based surveys, omnibus 
surveys, card sorting, and various forms of usability testing of 
materials and interactive tools to assess the public's understanding of 
disease prevention and health promotion content, responses to prototype 
materials, and barriers to effective use.
    The program is requesting a 3-year extension of its clearance.
