Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork 

Reduction Act Review

Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of 

information collection requests under 

review by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) in compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). To request a copy of these 

requests, call (404) 639–7570 or send an 

email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written 

comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of

comments should be received within 30

Proposed Project 

Formative Research and Tool 

Development—(OMB # 0920–0840, Exp. 

1/31/2013)—Revision—National Center 

for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, TB 

Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention request approval for a 

revision and a 3 year approval for the 

previously approved Formative 

Research and Tool Development. This 

information collection request has been 

revised to include one additional type of 

formative research information 

collection activity, additional detail 

regarding the previously approved 

categories of formative research, and 

instrument testing for data collection 

activities used to inform many aspects 

of surveillance, communications, health 

promotion, and research project 

development for NCHHSTP’s 4 priority 

diseases (HIV/AIDS, sexually 

transmitted diseases/infections (STD/ 

STI), viral hepatitis, and tuberculosis 

elimination. Formative research is the 

basis for developing effective strategies 

including communication channels, for 

influencing behavior change. It helps 

researchers identify and understand the 

characteristics—interests, behaviors and 

needs—of target populations that 

influence their decisions and actions. 

Formative research is integral in 

developing programs as well as 

improving existing and ongoing 

programs. Formative research also looks 

at the community in which a public 

health intervention is being or will be 

implemented and helps the project staff 

understand the interests, attributes and 

needs of different populations and 

persons in that community. Formative 

research is research that occurs before a 

program is designed and implemented, 

or while a program is being conducted. 

Formative research is an integral part 

of developing programs or adapting 

programs that deal with the complexity 

of behaviors, social context, cultural 

identities, and health care that underlie 

the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS, viral 

hepatitis, STDs, and TB in the U.S. 

CDC conducts formative research to 

develop public-sensitive 

communication messages and user 

friendly tools prior to developing or 

recommending interventions, or care. 

Sometimes these studies are entirely 

behavioral but most often they are 

cycles of interviews and focus groups 

designed to inform the development of 

a product. 

Products from these formative 

research studies will be used for 

prevention of HIV/AIDS, Sexually 

Transmitted Infections (STI), viral 

Hepatitis, and Tuberculosis. Findings 

from these studies may also be 

presented as evidence to diseasespecific National Advisory Committees, 

to support revisions to recommended 

prevention and intervention methods, as 

well as new recommendations. 

Much of CDC’s health communication 

takes place within campaigns that have 

fairly lengthy planning periods— 

timeframes that accommodate the 

standard Federal process for approving 

data collections. Short term qualitative 

interviewing and cognitive research 

techniques have previously proven 

invaluable in the development of 

scientifically valid and populationappropriate methods, interventions, and 

instruments. 

This request includes studies 

investigating the utility and 

acceptability of proposed sampling and 

recruitment methods, intervention 

contents and delivery, questionnaire 

domains, individual questions, and 

interactions with project staff or 

electronic data collection equipment. 

These activities will also provide 

information about how respondents 

answer questions and ways in which 

question response bias and error can be 

reduced. 

This request also includes collection 

of information from public health 

programs to assess needs related to 

initiation of a new program activity or 

expansion or changes in scope or 

implementation of existing program 

activities to adapt them to current 

needs. The information collected will be 

used to advise programs and provide 

capacity-building assistance tailored to 

identified needs. 

Overall, these development activities 

are intended to provide information that 

will increase the success of the 

surveillance or research projects 

through increasing response rates and 

decreasing response error, thereby 

decreasing future data collection burden 

to the public. The studies that will be 

covered under this request will include 

one or more of the following 

investigational modalities: (1) structured 

and qualitative interviewing for 

surveillance, research, interventions and 

material development, (2) cognitive 

interviewing for development of specific 

data collection instruments, (3) 

methodological research (4) usability 

testing of technology-based instruments 

and materials, (5) field testing of new 

methodologies and materials, (6) 

investigation of mental models for 

health decision-making, to inform 

health communication messages, and (7) 

organizational needs assessment to 

support development of capacity. 

Respondents who will participate in 

individual and group interviews 

(qualitative, cognitive, and computer 

assisted development activities) are 

selected purposively from those who 

respond to recruitment advertisements.
