    Information Collection Request Title: Prevention Communication 
Formative Research--Revision--OMB No. 0990-0281--Office of Disease 
Prevention and Health Promotion.
    Abstract: The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion's 
(ODPHP) focus includes developing and disseminating prevention 
information to the public. Changes in this request include updated 
national hourly wage and minor changes to data collection activities 
and related burden hours in order to meet the needs of the initiatives 
mentioned below. This request builds on previous formative research 
approaches to place more emphasis on Web-based data collection to allow 
greater geographical diversity among respondents, to decrease 
respondent burden, and to save government costs. As a federal 
government agency, ODPHP strives to be responsive to the needs of 
America's diverse audiences while simultaneously serving all Americans 
across a range of channels. To carry out its prevention information 
efforts, ODPHP is committed to conducting formative and usability 
research to provide guidance on the development and implementation of 
its disease prevention and health promotion communication and education 
efforts. This generic clearance request describes data collection 
activities involving methods such as: Individual interviews, focus 
groups, Web-based surveys, card sorting and various forms of usability 
testing to establish a deeper understanding of the interests and needs 
of consumers and health professionals for disease prevention and health 
promotion information and tools.
    The information collected will be used by ODPHP to improve its 
communication, products, and services that support key office 
activities including: Healthy People, Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 
Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, healthfinder.gov, and 
increasing health care quality and patient safety. ODPHP communicates 
through its Web sites (www.healthfinder.gov, www.HealthyPeople.gov, 
www.health.gov) and through other channels including social media, 
print materials, interactive training modules, and reports.
    Likely Respondents: Respondents are likely to be either consumers 
or health professionals.
