    Proposed Project: Evaluation of the Parents Speak Up National 
Campaign (PSUNC): Focus Groups with Adolescents. OMB No. 0990-NEW-
Office of the Secretary/Office of Public Health and Science/Office 
Adolescent Pregnancy Programs.
    Abstract: The data collection will take place once, over a three 
day period, in early 2010. An estimated 2000 adults will be screened to 
identify parents who are willing for their child to participate in the 
study and whose child is eligible. Screening will take an estimated 3 
minutes, on average. Study participants will total 160 adolescents ages 
13-15. Participation in the study will take an estimated 2 hours on 
average; including time spent responding to a mini-questionnaire and 
participating in a bulletin board focus group. Participants will self-
administer the mini-questionnaire at home on personal computers and 
will also participate in the focus group online. The specific aim of 
this study is to assess qualitatively what kinds of information about 
sex adolescents want to hear from their parents and their perspectives 
on the factors that either hinder or facilitate effective 
communication.
