Proposed Project

    Evaluation of the Spanish-Language Campaign ``Good Morning 
Arthritis, Today You Will Not Defeat Us.''--New--National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Arthritis affects nearly 43 million Americans, or about one in 
every five people, and is the leading cause of disability among adults 
in the United States. Limitations due to arthritis are particularly 
burdensome when they affect an individual's mobility, productivity, and 
ability to earn a living, as well as psychological and social well-
being. Because of the broad public health impact of this disease, the 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed the National 
Arthritis Action Plan in 1998 as a comprehensive approach to reducing 
the burden of arthritis in the United States.
    Hispanics are currently the fastest growing racial/ethnic group in 
the United States. Although Hispanic populations have a slightly lower 
prevalence rate of self-reported, doctor-diagnosed arthritis than the 
general population, Hispanics with arthritis report greater work 
limitations, and higher rates of severe pain than do Caucasian 
populations with arthritis. CDC has developed a Spanish-language 
campaign, Good Morning Arthritis, Today you will not defeat us, to 
deliver culturally appropriate public health messages about the 
benefits of physical activity as an arthritis management strategy. 
Campaign materials include print ads, 30 and 60 second radio ads and 
public service announcements, and desktop displays with brochures for 
pharmacies, doctors' offices, and community centers. The campaign is 
designed to reach Spanish speaking adults with arthritis who are aged 
45-64, who have high school education or less, and whose annual income 
is less than $35,000. CDC plans to conduct the campaign in four 
experimental markets.
    CDC requests clearance to conduct an evaluation of the campaign by 
collecting information from Spanish-speaking respondents in the four 
experimental markets and two control markets. An initial data 
collection will consist of telephone interviews, and will be based on a 
pre- and post-campaign evaluation design. A follow-up telephone 
interview, involving a subset of the initial respondents, will be 
conducted six months later. Results will be used to guide the public 
health practice of the 36 CDC-funded state arthritis programs and their 
partners.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The 
estimated annualized burden hours are 2,730.
