Proposed Project 

A Comprehensive Evaluation of a 

Paid Social Media and Mass Media 

Gynecologic Cancer Campaign—New— 

National Center for Chronic Disease 

Prevention and Health Promotion 

(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

As authorized by The Gynecologic 

Cancer Education and Awareness Act, 

CDC currently manages the ‘‘Inside 

Knowledge: Get the Facts About 

Gynecologic Cancer’’ media campaign. 

The campaign seeks to increase 

women’s intentions to seek medical 

attention for symptoms that could be 

indicative of gynecologic cancer. 

CDC plans to conduct an evaluation of 

the Inside Knowledge (IK) campaign by 

collecting information from the target 

audience of women ages 40–65 in four 

cities (Milwaukee, Wisconsin; 

Cincinnati, Ohio; Las Vegas, Nevada 

and San Antonio, Texas). In two of the 

cities (Milwaukee and San Antonio), the 

national IK campaign will be augmented 

by an additional paid media campaign. 

Evaluation information will be collected 

at two time points in each city (a precampaign survey plus one additional 

post-campaign survey after the media 

intervention). Separate cross-sectional 

samples of new respondents will 

participate at each point in time. This 

will allow CDC to assess exposure to 

campaign messages as a function of 

media ‘‘dose’’ and to assess whether 

women who reside in cities with 

additional paid media have higher 

awareness of the campaign, higher 

knowledge of gynecological cancers, 

and greater intentions to seek medical 

attention for gynecologic cancer 

symptoms and/or to discuss symptoms 

with their doctor. CDC initially 

considered a more complex evaluation 

strategy that involved four waves of data 

collection in each city coinciding with 

the release of various combinations of 

digital media and traditional media. The 

current campaign evaluation strategy is 

based on a simplified design that allows 

CDC to assess main campaign effects 

with a smaller number of respondents. 

Respondents will be recruited from a 

national opt-in online survey panel that 

prescreens participants and increases 

the likelihood that they meet eligibility 

criteria and live within the cities where 

the media campaigns are implemented. 

The total number of respondents in each 

study location is approximately 606 

(303 respondents who participate in the 

pre-campaign information collection, 

and 303 respondents who participate in 

the post-campaign information 

collection). The target number of 

completed responses for the overall 

campaign evaluation study is 2,424. The 

estimated number of incomplete 

responses (individuals who drop out 

during or after completion of the 

Screening Section of the survey) is 606. 

Potential respondents will receive an 

email invitation that describes the study 

and provides a link to the survey Web 

site. Information will then be collected 

through self-administered, Web-based 

surveys. Survey items will include 

measures of audience recall of the 

campaign; perceptions of campaign 

messages; gynecologic health related 

knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs; 

intentions to seek care for symptoms 

associated gynecologic cancers; and 

sociodemographic characteristics. 

Results of this evaluation study will 

be used to inform CDC, policymakers, 

prevention practitioners, researchers, 

and the general U.S. population about 

the reach and impact of the Inside 

Knowledge gynecologic health 

awareness campaign, and to inform the 

development and implementation of 

future health communication efforts. 

OMB approval is requested for one 

year. The same survey instrument will 

be used for all information collection. 

Participation is voluntary and there are 

no costs to respondents other than their 

time. The total estimated burden hours 

are 838.

Proposed Project 

Environmental Health Specialists 

Network (EHS-NET) Program (OMB No. 

0920–0792, expires 2/28/2015)— 

Revision—National Center for 

Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The CDC is requesting OMB approval 

for three additional years to use this 

generic clearance for a research program 

focused on identifying the 

environmental causes of foodborne 

illness. 

To date, EHS-Net has conducted four 

studies under this generic clearance. 

The first study collected data on 

improper cooling of hot foods, a food 

handling practice associated with 

foodborne illness and outbreaks. The 

second study collected data on the 

relationship between kitchen manager 

food safety certification and foodborne 

illness risk factors in restaurants. Public 

health agencies are increasingly 

encouraging or requiring certification as 

a foodborne illness prevention measure, 

yet little is known about its 

effectiveness. The third study collected 

data on the environmental factors 

associated with contamination of the 

retail deli environment with Listeria, a 

foodborne illness pathogen ranked 3rd 

in terms of the number of deaths it 

causes. The fourth study collected data 

on restaurant managers’ and workers’ 

food allergen knowledge, attitudes, and 

practices. Food allergens are an 

important food safety issue for 

restaurants. 

The data from the first two studies 

have been disseminated to 

environmental public health/food safety 

regulatory programs and the food 

industry in the form of presentations at 

conferences and meetings, scientific 

journal publications, and Web site 

postings. We will continue to analyze 

and present the data from all four 

studies, and expect that they will 

continue to provide valuable and useful 

data about environmental factors 

associated with foodborne illness 

outbreaks and food safety issues. 

This revision will provide OMB 

clearance for EHS-Net data collections 

conducted in 2015 through 2018 

(approximately one per year). The 

program is revising the generic 

information collection request (ICR) in 

the following ways: 

(1) Because of the re-announcement 

and re-competition of the EHS-Net 

cooperative agreement in 2015, it is 

likely that the sites in which data will 

be collected will differ from the sites in 

which data were collected previously. 

(2) We revised the estimated study 

sample size and burden downward. 

Thus, the estimated burden has been 

reduced. 

(3) We have eliminated proposed 

sample weighting analyses. 

Reducing foodborne illness first 

requires identification and 

understanding of the environmental 

factors that cause these illnesses. We 

need to know how and why food 

becomes contaminated with foodborne 

illness pathogens. This information can 

then be used to determine effective food 

safety prevention methods. Ultimately, 

these actions can lead to increased 

regulatory program effectiveness and 

decreased foodborne illness. The 

purpose of this food safety research 

program is to identify and understand 

environmental factors associated with 

foodborne illness and outbreaks. This 

program is conducted by the 

Environmental Health Specialists 

Network (EHS-Net), a collaborative 

project of CDC, FDA, USDA, and local 

and state sites. 

Environmental factors associated with 

foodborne illness include both food 

safety practices (e.g., inadequate 

cleaning practices) and the factors in the 

environment associated with those 

practices (e.g., worker and retail food 

establishment characteristics). To 

understand these factors, we need to 

continue to collect data from those who 

prepare food (i.e., food workers) and on 

the environments in which the food is 

prepared (i.e., retail food establishment 

kitchens). Thus, data collection methods 

for this generic package include: (1) 

Manager and worker interviews/

surveys, and (2) observation of kitchen 

environments. Both methods allow data 

collection on food safety practices and 

environmental factors associated with 

those practices. 

For each data collection, we will 

collect data in approximately 47 retail 

food establishments per site. Thus, there 

will be approximately 376 

establishments per data collection (an 

estimated 8 sites × 47 establishments). 

We expect a manager/establishment
