                     Revision. OMB No. 0990-0476—Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs (ASPA) within Office of the Secretary. Abstract The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs (ASPA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is requesting a revision on a currently approved collection including three components: 1. Current Events Tracker (CET), 2. Qualitative data collection in the form of focus groups, interviews, and dyads, and 3. Copy testing surveys. This revision supports continuation of the approved data collection by adding burden and iterations to support the program during the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency and through the expiration of the package 0990-0476 in early 2024. Together, these efforts support the development and execution of the COVID-19 Public Education Campaign. The broad purpose of each effort is as follows: Current Events Tracker The primary purpose of the COVID-19 Current Events Tracker (CET) survey is to continuously track key metrics of importance to the Campaign, including vaccine confidence and uptake, familiarity with and trust in HHS and other trusted messengers, and the impact of external events on key attitudes and behaviors. This information will inform Campaign development and execution including changes in messaging strategies necessary to effectively reach the entire U.S. population or specific subgroups. Focus Groups/Interviews/Dyads ASPA is collecting information qualitatively to inform the Campaign about audience risk knowledge, perceptions, current behaviors, and barriers and motivators to healthy behaviors (including COVID-19 vaccination). Ultimately these focus groups, interviews, and/or dyads will provide in-depth insights regarding information needed by Campaign audiences as well as their attitudes and behaviors related to COVID-19 and the COVID-19 vaccines. These will be used to inform the development of Campaign messages and strategy. Copy Testing Surveys Prior to placing Campaign advertisements in market, ASPA will conduct copy testing surveys to ensure the final Campaign messages have the intended effect on target attitudes and behaviors. Copy testing surveys will be conducted with sample members who comprise the target audiences; these surveys will assess perceived effectiveness of the advertisements as well as the effect of exposure to an ad on key attitudes and behavioral intentions. The results from these surveys will be used internally by ASPA to inform decisions on Campaign messages and materials; for example, to identify revisions to the materials or determine which advertisement to move to market.
