    Proposed Project: Prevention Communication Formative Research--
Revision--OMB No. 0990-0281--Office of Disease Prevention and Health 
Promotion.
    Abstract: The information collected will be used as formative 
communication research to provide guidance to the development and 
implementation of its disease prevention and health promotion 
communication and education efforts, including the Physical Activity 
and Dietary Guidelines for Americans. It is necessary to obtain 
consumer input to better understand the informative needs, attitudes, 
and beliefs of the audience in order to tailor messages, as well as to 
assist with clarity, understandability, and acceptance of prototyped 
messages, materials, and online tools. This generic clearance request 
describes data collection activities involving a limited set of focus 
groups, individual interviews, Web-based concept and prototype testing, 
and usability and effects testing to establish a deeper understanding 
of the interests and needs of consumers and health intermediaries for 
disease prevention and health promotion information and tools. The 
program is requesting a three year clearance.
