Proposed Project

    Youth Advice and Feedback to Inform Choose Respect Implementation 
(New)--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),

[[Page 8046]]

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    NCIPC seeks to obtain, over a five year period, advice and feedback 
from tweens/teens (aged 11-14) regarding message development/placement, 
creative executions, appropriate partners, and other similar issues, to 
inform ongoing implementation and evaluation of the Choose Respect 
campaign (OMB0920-0687 Expired 5/31/2006), an initiative 
intended to promote youth awareness of and participation in healthy 
peer relationships. Communication research indicates that campaign 
planning implementation must employ a consumer-oriented approach to 
ensure that program messages/materials, and their placement, can 
successfully gain the attention of and resonate with the intended 
audience. To that end, the NCIPC proposes conducting further planning, 
implementation, and evaluation research that enlists the involvement 
and support of youth, parents and other influencers and measures the 
effect of the campaign on the target audiences. The evaluation will 
provide interim and ongoing feedback to campaign planners regarding the 
implementation and progress of the campaign.
    The proposed data collection will enlist geographically, 
culturally/racially/ethnically, and socio-economically diverse groups 
of young people to complete: (1) Ten minute online surveys, with 30 
respondents, six times per year; and (2) 12 in-person focus groups, 
with 12 participants each, twice per year. Online surveys will reduce 
the potential burden for young people as web-based formats are 
convenient and consistent with the way they communicate and spend their 
leisure time and will involve a different group of 30 tweens/teens. In-
person focus groups will involve different groups of young people and 
will be segmented by age and gender.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
