Proposed Projects

    STOP IT NOW! Public Awareness Campaign--New--It is estimated that 
one in five girls and one in ten boys have been sexually abused before 
the age of eighteen. The National Center for Injury Prevention and 
Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has 
recognized child sexual abuse as a public health problem for several 
years. As a result, CDC plans to evaluate the effectiveness of the STOP 
IT NOW! public awareness campaign in Philadelphia as an innovative 
approach to child sexual abuse prevention and modify the campaign for 
national use. Ultimately, CDC will examine some of the more promising 
interventions implemented in communities across the nation to determine 
if these can be replicated. STOP IT NOW! is a non-profit organization 
founded to challenge and change sexual abuse behaviors toward children.
    The goals of the proposed data collection are:

--To inform the implementation of the campaign
--To inform the modification and expansion of the program to a national 
level
--To collect baseline data that will later be compared to post-campaign 
data to evaluate the effectiveness of the campaign.

    The total annual burden hours are 280.
