Proposed Projects

    Evaluative Research for the National Bone Health Education 
Campaign--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC), in cooperation with the Office on Women's Health, is developing 
a national osteoporosis prevention campaign targeting girls ages 9-18--
the National Bone Health Campaign (NBHC). The 5-year campaign will 
begin by targeting girls ages 9-12 and their parents and then expand to 
girls 13-18 and their parents. Funding for the campaign has been 
approved for the first two years of the program, so the research 
presented here is only that to be conducted in the those two years.
    The research will consist of: (1) Message tests with representative 
samples of 200 girls ages 9-12, 200 girls ages 13-18 and 200 parents of 
girls ages 9-12; (2) Baseline telephone surveys of representative 
samples of 1000 girls 9-12 and 1000 girls 13-18; (3) Follow-up survey 
of representative sample of 1000 girls ages 9-12; and (4) Annual 
surveys of 400 girls 9-12 and annual surveys of 200 parents of girls 9-
12 in five ``sentinel'' sites.
    Specifically, the purpose of the research is to (1) Pre-test 
campaign messages to ensure that they are attention-getting, 
understandable, personally relevant, and credible for the target 
audiences; (2) Provide ongoing assessment of campaign events and their 
effects in five ``sentinel'' sites; and (3) Provide an overall measure 
of the campaign's effectiveness over time.
    The results of the proposed research will be used to identify and 
develop effective campaign messages and strategies to promote bone 
healthy attitudes, knowledge and behaviors among the primary and 
secondary audiences, and to assist program planners in assessing and 
refining program tactics. The research will also provide a measure of 
the success of the program in increasing awareness of bone healthy 
activities and improving knowledge and attitudes related to those 
activities among the primary target audience (girls 9-18). The research 
will also be shared with NBHEC partners (various public and private 
agencies or organizations) for use in designing and implementing 
collaborative programs and messages at the national and local levels.
    The total annualized burden is estimated to be 2,000 hours.
