    Proposed Collection: Palliative Care: Conversations Matter[supreg] 
Phase Two Evaluation, 0925-NEW, National Institute of Nursing Research 
(NINR), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The NINR Palliative Care: 
Conversations Matter[supreg] initiative, which launched in FY 2014, is 
now in its second phase. The first phase was focused on providing 
materials and tools to assist health care providers in having sometimes 
difficult conversations with children and families about palliative 
care. The second phase of the campaign, launched in FY 2015, focuses on 
children, parents, and families. The Palliative Care: Conversations 
Matter[supreg] Phase Two evaluation will assess the information and 
materials being disseminated to children, parents, and families. Survey 
findings will help (1) determine if the campaign is effective, 
relevant, and useful to the families and caregivers of children living 
with serious illnesses; (2) to better understand the information needs 
of families and caregivers to inform future campaign efforts; and (3) 
examine how effective the campaign materials are in providing families 
and caregivers with information on palliative care.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 400 hours.
