Proposed Project

    Evaluation of the Young Sisters Initiative: A Guide to A Better 
You! Program--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    In 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 
launched the three-year Breast Cancer in Young Women (BCYW) project to 
raise awareness about these issues among young breast cancer survivors 
(YBCS) and to provide psychosocial and reproductive health support to 
women who are diagnosed before age 45. A key component of the BCYW 
program is the design, testing, implementation and evaluation of the 
Young Sisters Initiative: A Guide to a Better You (YSI) program. The 
YSI program is a web-based intervention designed to provide African 
American YBCS with culturally tailored psychosocial and reproductive 
health information to support their needs as cancer survivors.
    CDC plans to conduct a process evaluation of YSI program 
implementation in conjunction with Sisters Network Inc. (SNI), a 
partner organization, and ICF International, an evaluation contractor. 
Information will be collected to assess whether the YSI program can be 
implemented with fidelity; reach its target audience of African 
American YBCS; and deliver effective psychosocial and reproductive 
health information and support. The process evaluation will also 
collect information to improve understanding of facilitators and 
barriers to YSI program recruitment and implementation, and to assess 
how the program might be adapted for use with other audiences.
    Primary information collection will consist of two Web-based 
surveys of YSI program users, conducted before and after exposure to 
YSI program materials. The initial five-minute demographic screener 
will be conducted when users encounter the YSI Web site. Respondents 
will be asked to provide demographic and health information necessary 
for identifying members of the target YSI program audience, and to 
indicate their willingness to complete a brief online post-use survey 
one to two weeks after their initial YSI program Web site visit. The 
post-use survey will be conducted after YSI Web site users have time to 
review the site and materials. The estimated burden for the post-use 
survey is 20 minutes. Respondents will be asked questions about the 
usefulness of resources posted on the YSI Web site and satisfaction 
with the site. No personally identifiable information will be 
collected.
    Two secondary sources of information will be used to supplement the 
process evaluation data collection, but will not impose burden on YSI 
Web site users. First, CDC's evaluation contractor will use information 
obtained through Google Analytics to assess how visitors (particularly 
the target audience) navigate and use the YSI Web site. In addition, 
the evaluation contractor will conduct a limited number of telephone 
interviews with SNI staff and SNI-identified recruitment partners 
before and after the YSI implementation to assess fidelity to the YSI 
program core components and identify any facilitators and/or barriers 
experienced during program implementation.
    CDC will use the results of the process evaluation to inform future 
efforts to support and educate YBCS in vulnerable/minority populations. 
OMB approval is requested for one year. Participation in the 
information collection is voluntary, and there are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 142.
