Proposed Project Audience Analysis for Environmental Health Issues—New—National Center for Environmental Health/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (NCEH/ATSDR), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The health effects associated with climate change include injuries and fatalities related to severe weather events and heat waves, infectious diseases related to changes in vector biology, water and food contamination, and respiratory illness due to increased allergen production. Despite these potentially devastating public health consequences, few in the general public connect climate change with health effects. In general, the majority of Americans associate climate change with nonhuman impacts and environmental problems rather than health effects. They are more likely to be concerned about climate change impacts on plant and animal extinctions rather than on human health. Thus, it is not surprising that few in the general public are well prepared to deal with climate change health effects. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is interested in developing communication materials to increase the public's awareness and knowledge, and prepare for the potential health effects associated with climate change. To this end, focus groups will be conducted with members of a local California community to understand motivations and factors influencing target audience's decision process. There will also be an emphasis on the health effects, framing devices, and channels that might be most effective for disseminating public health messages and having them motivate the intended audiences. With that in hand it will be possible to identify the most valuable information and optimal strategies for communicating with target audiences. Focus groups will be conducted with the residents of Santa Rosa, California. During phase one, three exploratory focus groups will be conducted to develop messaging strategies. Results from the exploratory focus groups will be used in the development of preliminary messaging strategies and draft materials. This material will be tested with the target audience during the second phase of research. The second phase will include three materials testing focus groups to determine which materials and messages are most attractive and compelling in terms of educating the public about health effects and promoting preparedness behaviors. Participants will be recruited via standard focus group recruitment methods. Most will come from an existing database (or list) of potential participants maintained by the focus group facility or recruited through local newspapers. There is no cost to respondents. The total estimated annual burden hours are 117. Estimated Annualized Burden Hours
