Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a

Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call 
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639-7570 or send an email to 
[email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of 
Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-

Proposed Project

    Science to Practice: Developing and Testing a Marketing Strategy 
for Preventing Alcohol-related Problems in College Communities--NEW--
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Each year, 1,700 college students die and more than 1.4 million are 
injured as a result of alcohol-related incidents. Additionally, about 
25% of students report negative academic consequences due to alcohol. 
Despite the enormous public health burden of college-age alcohol 
misuse, there have been few rigorous evaluations of environmental 
strategies to address alcohol misuse in college settings. Environmental 
strategies typically involve implementing and enforcing policies that 
change the environments that influence alcohol-related behavior and 
subsequent harm. Further, studies show that the typical lag time 
between identifying effective interventions and obtaining widespread 
adoption can stretch to well over a decade. Given the number of 
students harmed, there is an urgent need to develop more efficient and 
timely strategies for moving effective science to widespread practice. 
This project will address this exact issue by systematically developing 
a marketing strategy for The Safer Campuses and Communities 
intervention, a comprehensive, community-based environmental prevention 
program with proven efficacy in reducing intoxication and alcohol-
impaired driving among college students.
    The CDC proposes an on-line information collection, which will take 
place during the spring and fall semester of the 2012-2013 academic 
years, and will constitute a marketing strategy targeting a national 
sample of 4-year colleges and universities. The Institutional Data 
Archive (IDA) on American Higher Education is a dataset consolidated by 
researchers at the University of California, Riverside for the Colleges 
& Universities 2000 Project. The dataset includes: earned degrees,

enrollments, finances, faculty salaries, technology transfer 
activities, and institutional rankings over a 40-year period, 1970-
2011. IDA also includes census information concerning neighborhoods 
surrounding colleges and universities.
    160 Institutes of Higher Education (IHE) will be sampled from the 
IDA in order to collect information from key informants and key leaders 
from the surrounding community. Information gathered from these 
respondents will be used to: (1) Develop and revise customized 
marketing and program materials targeting potential campus and 
community stakeholders; and (2) inform strategies for the marketing 
plan, which aims to facilitate adoption of the Safer Campuses and 
Communities intervention by IHEs.
    The online survey will be completed by: College Administrators and 
staff, campus and municipal police; as well as selected community 
leaders. The IHEs will be contacted via email, with a maximum of 12 
participants per IHE for a total of 1800 respondents. All respondent 
information will be maintained in a secure, electronic format 
accessible to a limited number of project staff. The amount of time 
required for a respondent to complete the survey is estimated to be 1 
hour.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated annual burden hours are 1,800.
