Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15 

U.S.C. 18a, as added by Title II of the

persons contemplating certain mergers 

or acquisitions to give the Federal Trade 

Commission and the Assistant Attorney 

General advance notice and to wait 

designated periods before 

consummation of such plans. Section 

7A(b)(2) of the Act permits the agencies, 

in individual cases, to terminate this 

waiting period prior to its expiration 

and requires that notice of this action be

Proposed Project 

Audience Profiling for Carbon 

Monoxide Poisoning Prevention 

Status—New—National Center for 

Environmental Health (NCEH), 

Coordinating Center for Environmental 

Health and Injury Prevention (CCEHIP), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the 

leading causes of poison-related deaths 

in the United States. The Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 

estimates that each year approximately 

500 people die of unintentional, 

nonfire-related CO exposure, and 

another 15,000 individuals visit 

emergency rooms for treatment from 

exposure to CO gas. 

Despite our current knowledge of 

scenarios and products that lead to CO 

poisoning, questions remain about when 

and how individuals use CO-emitting 

products, why they engage in certain 

risk behaviors, how best to inform them 

about the CO poisoning, and how 

receptive they are to existing prevention 

materials. This study aims to address 

these questions through assessing the 

basis for current audience knowledge, 

attitudes, and practices and, ultimately, 

strengthen educational materials about 

CO poisoning prevention. 

The study will employ the use of 

qualitative methods during three phases 

of data collection. Phase I will consist 

of eight in-person focus groups among 

home furnace owners and portable 

generator owners (n=64) as well as four 

telephone interviews with organizations 

that serve populations at risk for CO 

poisoning (n=4). Phase II will consist of 

analyzing previously collected data on 

consumer media usage and preferences. 

Phase III will consist of 16 in-person 

triad interviews (3 individuals per 

interview) with home furnace owners 

and portable generator owners (n=48) to 

pretest CO poisoning educational 

materials. 

NCEH will identify individuals for the 

focus groups and triad interviews using 

recruiting firms that specialize in the 

two at-risk populations: 1. home furnace 

owners and 2. portable generator 

owners. Individuals in these two groups 

will be screened over the telephone by 

the recruiting firms, and if they meet the 

eligibility criteria, will be invited to 

participate in the study. At the end of 

each focus group and triad interview, 

NCEH will ask participants to complete 

a brief exit questionnaire on 

demographics and media usage. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time.
