Proposed Project: Design for the Evaluation of the Maternal and Child 
Health Bureau, Bright Futures for Women's Health and Wellness 
Initiative and Preliminary Evaluation of Initial Products--New

    The HRSA Office of Women's Health (OWH) is developing the Bright 
Futures for Women's Health and Wellness (BFWHW) Initiative to help 
expand the scope of women's preventive health activities, particularly 
related to nutrition and physical activity. A pilot test of the BFWHW 
health promotion tools and materials will be conducted in order to 
improve the effectiveness of the tools themselves, and to gather 
feedback on productive strategies for disseminating the tools for 
appropriate use to training providers and community organizations. 
Thus, the empirical findings from this pilot test will help shape the 
final BFWHW tool development. This data collection effort will ensure 
that the HRSA OWH develops targeted and effective tools for translating 
health prevention recommendations into nutrition and physical activity 
messages.
    Toward this end, data will be collected from women patients, 
providers, and representatives of community organizations. Women 
patients ages 18 and over of various racial and ethnic backgrounds will 
complete questionnaires at three health centers in different geographic 
areas of the country. The health care providers at these same sites 
will also be asked to complete a brief questionnaire. Telephone 
interviews will be completed with representatives from community 
organizations located in the service areas of these health centers. The 
data collection period is estimated to last three weeks.
    The estimated response burden is as follows:
