Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment Request; Web-based Media 
Literacy Parent Training for Substance Use Prevention in Rural 
Locations

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment 
on proposed data collection projects, the National Institute on Drug 
Abuse (NIDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will publish 
periodic summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
    Written comments and/or suggestions from the public and affected 
agencies are invited on one or more of the following points: (1) 
Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the function of the agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including the 
use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other 
technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    To Submit Comments and For Further Information: To obtain a copy of 
the data collection plans and instruments, contact Dr. Augie Diana, 
Health Scientist Administrator, Prevention Research Branch, Division of 
Epidemiology, Services, and Prevention Research, NIDA, NIH, 6001 
Executive Boulevard, Room 5163, Bethesda, MD 20892, or call non-toll-
free number (301) 443-1942 or Email your request, including your 
address to: [email protected]. Formal requests for additional plans 
and instruments must be requested in writing.
    Comments Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection 
are best assured of having their full effect if received within 60 days 
of the date of this publication.
    Proposed Collection: Web-based Media Literacy Parent Training for 
Substance Use Prevention in Rural Locations, 0925-New, National 
Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This study will develop a 
web-based media literacy substance use prevention intervention for use 
with parents and their elementary school children (approximately ages 
7-12), and will evaluate the program in a randomized controlled trial 
to establish program efficacy in six rural communities in North 
Carolina and Texas. The primary objectives of the study are to assess 
the efficacy of a media literacy education program that is specifically 
designed to overcome barriers to prevention efforts in rural 
communities, and to provide the scientific basis for establishing the 
program, Media Detective Family, as an evidence-based substance use 
prevention curriculum. The information will provide valuable 
information concerning: (1) The appropriateness of using technology for 
substance use prevention programming (i.e., internet, Smartphone, or 
tablet-based applications) to reach rural families with elementary 
school-aged children; (2) improvements in parents' and children's 
critical thinking skills associated with intervention exposure; (3) 
improvements in parent-child communication about substances and the 
media associated with intervention exposure; and (4) reductions in 
children's behavioral intentions to use substances associated with 
intervention exposure.
    OMB approval is requested for two years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 1067.
