Project: Assessment of the Underage Drinking Prevention Education 
Initiatives State Videos Project--New

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 
Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) is requesting Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval of three new data collection 
instruments--
     State Video Contacts Form.
     Video Viewers Form.
     Dissemination Update Online Form.
    This new information collection is for the assessment of the 2010-
2013 Underage Drinking Prevention Education Initiatives State Videos 
project. In 2007, four States participated in a pilot study to produce 
videos on the topic of underage drinking prevention. Based upon the 
success of those videos, 10 additional States and 1 Territory were 
provided funds to produce videos in 2009. Contingent on available 
funds, CSAP hopes to invite approximately 10 States/Territories per 
year to produce their own videos.
    Over the next 4 years, CSAP will conduct a process and outcome 
assessment of this project. The process assessment will focus on the 
experiences associated with planning and producing the State videos. 
The outcome assessment will examine the effectiveness of the State 
Videos project in meeting the core project objectives and will capture 
the State's dissemination efforts. The process and outcome assessments 
will encompass State videos that will be produced in 2010-2013 and 
those that were produced in 2007 and 2009. State contacts will be asked 
to update their dissemination information online if there have been 
changes in these figures during the previous 6 months, up through 2013. 
Additionally, data will be collected from viewers of the State videos 
using an online survey.
    The information will be collected from the primary contact employee 
designated by the States that have agreed to participate in the 
production of a video for the State Videos project. The viewers' 
information will be collected from those who voluntarily decide to 
complete a short survey after seeing the video.
    SAMHSA/CSAP intends to support annual videos on State underage 
drinking prevention videos. The information collected will be used by 
CSAP to help plan for these annual video productions and provide 
technical assistance to the participating States. The collected 
information will also provide a descriptive picture of the initiative, 
indicate how the videos have been received, and highlight some factors 
that may be associated with successful dissemination outcomes.
    The information needs to be obtained using a combination of initial 
telephone interviews to collect process data, followed by online forms 
to collect outcome and dissemination data. A survey of viewers, 
collected online, will also be used to assess the effectiveness of the 
State videos in increasing awareness of the underage drinking 
prevention activities in these States. This information collection is 
being implemented under authority of Section 501(d)(4) of the Public 
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 290aa).
    State staff members will be contacted once the video has been 
finalized. These State staff members will be asked to complete a short 
telephone interview that asks questions about the process of producing 
the State video. The State Video Contacts Form includes nine items 
about the State video, including:
     State's objectives for the video on underage drinking 
prevention.
     Targeted audiences.
     Satisfaction with technical assistance (TA) received.
     Usefulness of preplanning materials.
     Helpfulness of TA during different phases of production.
     Recommendations for improving the process.
     Recommendations for improving the content of the video.
     Advice to other States interested in producing a video.
    If the State has disseminated the video at the time of the initial 
telephone interview, then they will also be asked to complete the 
second part of the State Video Contacts Form, which collects 
information on dissemination outcomes. The State Video Contacts Form 
includes 19 items about the dissemination activities of the State's 
video, including:
     Time when they disseminated the video.
     Methods of dissemination.
     Number of people who viewed the video.
     Number of DVDs and videotapes requested.
     Effectiveness of the dissemination methods.
     Factors that contributed to the effectiveness of 
dissemination.
     Effect of TA received.
     Effect of the video in raising awareness about underage 
drinking prevention successes in the State.
     Effect of the video in raising awareness about underage 
drinking prevention challenges in the State.
     Effectiveness of the video in presenting State's/
Territory's prevention activities.
     Feedback received.
     Unintended positive outcomes.
     Effect of TA in improving the capacity to provide 
effective prevention services.
    After the State points of contact have completed the State Video 
Contacts Form online, they will be requested to update dissemination 
activities online if there have been any changes during the past 6 
months. This form includes seven items, including:
     If there have been changes in dissemination during the 
past 6 months.
     Most recent dissemination numbers by method.
     Facilitation factors.
     Additional feedback.
     Additional unintended positive outcomes.
    Data will also be collected from viewers of the State videos. Each 
State video will include instructions to viewers on how to access the 
Video Viewers Form. The instructions may be a unique URL, or they may 
consist of instructions on each State's Web site on underage drinking 
prevention. This information will allow the CSAP to provide feedback to 
the States on their video and to measure the effectiveness of their 
video. The Video Viewers Form includes 24 items about the video, 
including:

[[Page 61148]]

     When and where they viewed the video.
     Whom they recommended to view the video.
     What they learned from watching the video.
     What actions they may take because of the video.
     Whether they plan to change behaviors and knowledge about 
their State's activities.
    The process assessment of the State videos will be conducted using 
telephone interviews with the State points of contact. This interview 
should take 10 minutes (0.167 hours). The outcome assessment of the 
State videos will be collected using an online form that will be 
completed by no more than 26 respondents and will require only 1 
response per respondent. It will take an average of 10 minutes (0.167 
hours) to review the instructions, complete the form, and submit it 
electronically.
    Dissemination updates will be requested from each State point of 
contact every 6 months if there have been changes during that time 
period. These updates will be submitted electronically, and it should 
take approximately 5 minutes (0.083 hours) to review the instructions, 
complete the short form, and submit it electronically. The burden 
estimate is based on comments from several potential respondents who 
completed the online form, submitted it, and provided feedback on how 
long it would take them to complete it. The respondents will be 
employees of the State.
    A short survey will also be used to collect data from viewers of 
the State videos. An estimated 1,000 viewers will voluntarily choose to 
complete this online survey, which will take 10 minutes (0.167 hours) 
to review, complete, and submit. The viewers are expected to represent 
the general public.
