Evaluation of the CSAP Underage Drinking Prevention Public Education 
Program

    --New--SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) is 
launching the Underage Drinking Prevention Public Education Program, 
which is a public education program designed to educate 9-13 year old 
children about the harms of alcohol use and to support parents/
caregivers as they monitor and participate in their children's 
activities. The ultimate goal of the program is to reduce underage 
alcohol use among young people. Elements of the program include media 
messages (such as public service announcements on television and radio) 
and education of children and their adult caregivers through materials 
and community events.
    To determine the likely effectiveness of the program, CSAP is 
planning to conduct an evaluation. The evaluation will determine 
whether the program can produce measurable change in communities that 
receive training and technical assistance on implementing the program, 
plus funds to customize materials for those communities. The evaluation 
will assess change in knowledge, attitudes, and behavior among those 
exposed to the program. Ten treatment and five comparison communities 
will be selected for study. Data for the evaluation will be collected 
through a baseline telephone survey and through four follow-up 
telephone surveys of adult-child dyads. The estimated response burden 
is shown in the table that follows.

a The parent interview is 12 minutes long and the child interview is 12 minutes long. The burden estimates
  assume that 30% of parents interviewed stay on the telephone to monitor the child's interview and that the
  remainder of parents do not.
b This number represents an estimated 5% of adult respondents who complete the parent interview but decline to
  have the child interviewed.

    Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to: 
Allison Herron Eydt, Human Resources and Housing Branch, Office of
