SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection

    This information collection is necessary for the Naval Health 
Research Center (NHRC) to carry out the research study ``Evaluation of 
Young Marines Drug Education Program.'' Naval Health Research Center 
has been tasked by U.S. Marine Corps Community Services Substance Abuse 
Program to conduct this evaluation. The Naval Health Research Center 
team will collect information about the youth's drug use, attitudes, 
and knowledge, as well as factors such as self-esteem by administering 
a voluntary paper-and-pencil survey to approximately 1,000 youth at 
regularly scheduled Young Marines meetings and by posting an online 
survey. Approximately 250 of these youth subjects will also complete an 
online, follow-up survey about three months later. Approximately 325 
Young Marine adult unit leaders will be asked to complete a one-time, 
online survey about the drug education activities that their unit 
provides to their Program members. In all cases, consent will always be 
received prior to survey administration. The information collected will 
be used to describe how the Young Marines program is affecting drug 
behaviors and related measures and will allow recommendations to be 
made to improve youth drug education.
