SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

    Title: Increasing Safety Belt Use Among Children Ages 8-15.
    OMB Number: 2127-New.
    Type of Request: New information collection requirement.
    Abstract: Little is currently known about the context of safety 
belt use and non-use by 8-15 year olds. This study will gather 
information on attitudes, knowledge, and behavior related to safety 
belts among children in that age range in order to determine strategies 
for increasing child safety belt use. There will be 27 in-home 
immersion interviews with families having one or more children age 8-15 
(an average of 3.5 interviews per family). In-home immersions are 
interviews in which researchers visit respondents' homes and have an 
opportunity to speak with multiple members of the household and to 
observe how their interactions and environment may either motivate or 
serve as barriers to eliciting desired behaviors. Each of the 27 
immersion sessions will last approximately two hours. Information 
derived from the immersion interviews will be used to develop 
intervention or program concepts/ideas that will be tested with 
children in 96 triad interviews. Each triad will be composed of three 
children of the same sex, race/ethnicity, and approximate age. Each of 
the 96 triads will last approximately 75 minutes.
    Affected Public: Children age 8-15 and their parents or guardians, 
from among the general public, who volunteer to participate in the 
study.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 549 hours.
    Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize 
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology. A Comment to OMB is most effective if OMB 
receives it within 30 days of publication.
