Proposed Project 

Health Message Testing System 

(HMTS) (OMB No. 0920–0572, expires 

02/28/2015)—Extension—Office of the 

Associate Director for Communication 

(OADC), Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Before CDC disseminates a health 

message to the public, the message 

always undergoes scientific review. 

However, even though the message is 

based on sound scientific content, there 

is no guarantee that the public will 

understand a health message or that the 

message will move people to take 

recommended action. Communication 

theorists and researchers agree that for 

health messages to be as clear and 

influential as possible, target audience 

members or representatives must be 

involved in developing the messages 

and provisional versions of the 

messages must be tested with members 

of the target audience. 

However, increasingly there are 

circumstances when CDC must move 

swiftly to protect life, prevent disease, 

or calm public anxiety. Health message 

testing is even more important in these 

instances, because of the critical nature 

of the information need. 

In the interest of timely health 

message dissemination, many programs 

forgo the important step of testing
