than adults. Each year, 70 teens die from

work injuries. Another 200,000 are

injured on the job each year. Of these,

about 100,000 are injured seriously

enough to require emergency room

treatment.

This project will identify effective

promotional methods to assure a high

level of awareness of the NIOSH

Website for Kids and Teens among

youth and to generate a high volume of

first-time visitors to the website. This

project will also develop enhanced

website content to increase the

relevance of the NIOSH Website for

Kids and Teens for the youth audience

and to insure repeated visits to the

website. The Theory of Planned

Behavior (TPB) will be used to guide the

assessment of youth attitudes and

intentions regarding the usage of an

OSH website. This information will be

used to tailor promotional messages to

increase their appeal to youth who

report that they would not be likely to

visit an OSH website. The effectiveness

of the tailored promotional messages

will be contrasted with that of

untailored messages.

Due to significant differences in

cognitive and emotional development,

the youth audience targeted by this

study will be segmented into three age

groups, 5–8, 9–14, and 15–19. These age

groups roughly correspond to

elementary, middle, and high school.

Different website content will be

developed for each age group.

Since youth from rural and urban

backgrounds have different

opportunities for employment, it is

expected that youth from these two

areas will have different OSH

information needs. This study will

recruit representative samples of youth

from both rural and urban areas.

Differences found between youth from

these two areas will be used to tailor

website content for each group. The

impact of this tailoring will be assessed

by systematically matching and

mismatching this tailored content with

representative samples of youth from

each area.

The aims of this project will be

accomplished in three phases: 1)

Representative samples from each of

three targeted age groups (5–8, 9–14,

15–19) will be surveyed regarding their

preferences for website content, style,

promotional channels, behavioral

intentions, behavioral norms, and

perceived behavioral constraints; 2)

Pretesting of enhanced OSH website

content and format developed by this

study on representative samples of the

targeted age groups and of promotional

materials; 3) A promotional campaign

using a 3 (elementary, middle, and high

school age groups) X 2 (tailored

promotional messages, untailored

promotional messages) X 2 (rural,

urban) design. Promotional messages

will be placed in venues (such as

magazines or television programs) that

have youth oriented content. The

effectiveness of these promotional

channels and messages will be

determined by monitoring the volume of

visits to the respective internet portal

pages for the NIOSH Website for Kids

and Teens.

Proposed Project

The National Health and Nutrition

Examination Survey (NHANES) OMB.

No. 0920–0237—Revision—National

Center for Health Statistics (NCHS),

Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC). The National Health

and Nutrition Examination Survey

(NHANES) has been conducted

periodically since 1970 by the National

Center for Health Statistics, CDC. The

current cycle of NHANES began in

February 1999 and will now be

conducted on a continuous, rather than

periodic, basis. About 5,000 persons

will be examined annually. They will

receive an interview and a physical

examination. Participation in the survey

is completely voluntary and

confidential.

NHANES programs produce

descriptive statistics which measure the

health and nutrition status of the

general population. Through the use of

questionnaires, physical examinations,

and laboratory tests, NHANES studies

22234 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 86 / Thursday, May 3, 2001 / Notices

the relationship between diet, nutrition

and health in a representative sample of

the United States. NHANES monitors

the prevalence of chronic conditions

and risk factors related to health such as

coronary heart disease, arthritis,

osteoporosis, pulmonary and infectious

diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure,

high cholesterol, obesity, smoking, drug

and alcohol use, environmental

exposures, and diet.

NHANES data are used to establish

the norms for the general population

against which health care providers can

compare such patient characteristics as

height, weight, and nutrient levels in

the blood. Data from NHANES can be

compared to those from previous

surveys to monitor changes in the health

of the U.S. population. NHANES will

also establish a national probability

sample of genetic material for future

genetic research for susceptibility to

disease.

Users of NHANES data include

Congress; the World Health

Organization; Federal agencies such as

NIH, EPA, and USDA; private groups

such as the American Heart Association;

schools of public health; private

businesses; individual practitioners; and

administrators. NHANES data are used

to establish, monitor, and evaluate

recommended dietary allowances, food

fortification policies, programs to limit

environmental exposures, immunization

guidelines and health education and

disease prevention programs. The

current submission requests approval

through November 2004.

The survey description, contents, and

uses are the same as those in the

previous Federal Register notice for this

survey which was published on March

27, 2000 (Volume 65, Number 59).

There is no net cost to respondents

other than their time. Respondents are

reimbursed for any out-of-pocket costs

such as transportation to and from the

examination center.

Grants for Rape Prevention and

Education

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC), Department of Health

and Human Services (DHHS).

ACTION: Notice of the availability of

fiscal year 2002 funds and request for

comments.

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC)

announces the availability of fiscal year

(FY) 2002 funds for targeted grants to

state health departments to support

programs addressing violence against

women. The Rape Prevention and

Education Grant Program strengthens

education and training to combat

violence against women by supporting

increased awareness, education and

training, and the operation of hotlines.

CDC will award targeted grants to State

Health Departments to be used for rape

prevention and education programs

conducted by rape crisis centers, State

sexual assault coalitions, and other

public and private nonprofit entities.

Assistance will be provided only to

the health departments of States or their

bona fide agents who are current

recipients of Rape Prevention and

Education funding, including: the

District of Columbia, the

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the

Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of

the Northern Mariana Islands, American

Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of

Micronesia, the Republic of the

Marshall Islands, and the Republic of

Palau. Approximately $42,000,000 is

available in FY 2002, for funding under

this formula-based grant program.

It is expected that the awards will

begin on or about October 1, 2001, and

will be made for a 12-month budget

period within a project period of up to

five years. Continuation awards will be

made within the project period based on

satisfactory progress reflected in the

annual continuation application.

States must adhere to Congressional

legislation regarding the allowable uses

for these funds. Not more than five

percent (exclusive of Direct Assistance)

of any grant or contract through the

grant may be obligated for

administrative costs. This five percent

limitation is in lieu of, and replaces, the

indirect cost rate. Targeted grants to

States are to be used for rape prevention

and education programs conducted by

rape crisis centers, State sexual assault

coalitions, and other public and private

nonprofit entities for: educational

seminars; the operation of hotlines;

training programs for professionals; the

preparation of informational material;

education and training programs for

students and campus personnel

designed to reduce the incidence of

sexual assault at colleges and

universities; education to increase

awareness about drugs used to facilitate

rapes or sexual assault; and other efforts

to increase awareness of the facts about

or to help prevent sexual assault,

including efforts to increase awareness

in underserved communities and

awareness among individuals with

disabilities (as defined in section 3 of

the Americans with Disabilities Act of

1990 (42 U.S.C. 12102)).

A State may not use more than two

percent of the amount received for each

fiscal year for surveillance studies or

prevalence studies. Amounts provided

to States must be used to supplement,

and not supplant, other Federal, State,

and local public funds expended to

provide the services described above.

Grant funds cannot be used for
