    Information Collection Request Title: Poison Help General 
Population Survey OMB Number 0915-0343, Reinstatement.
    Abstract: HRSA is requesting approval by OMB for reinstatement with 
change of a previously approved collection of information (OMB control 
number 0915-0343). Annually, poison control centers (PCCs) in the U.S. 
manage approximately 2.8 million calls, providing ready and direct 
access to vital public health emergency information and response. In 
2001, the Poison Help line, a single, national toll-free phone number 
(800-222-1222) was established to ensure universal access to PCC 
services, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Poison Help campaign is 
the only national media effort to promote awareness and use of the 
national toll-free phone number.
    The Poison Help campaign aims to reach a wide audience, as 
individuals of all ages are at risk for poisoning and may need to 
access PCC services. The ``Poison Help General Population Survey'' is a 
10-minute telephone survey designed to assess the campaign's impact 
among 2,000 households in the United States. The survey is conducted 
with an adult household member and addresses topics related to the 
types of individuals or organizations to contact for information, 
advice, and treatment related to a poisoning.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Survey results will be 
used to guide future communication, education, and outreach efforts and 
will allow the tracking of longitudinal data from near-identical prior 
surveys conducted in 2008 and 2011. The survey has been updated to 
include questions regarding one of the Secretary of HHS' priority 
areas, addressing the opioid crisis, and to definitively ascertain 
respondents' knowledge of the Poison Help Line and phone usage.
    Likely Respondents: This study includes two respondent groups, 
individuals and households with an adult member 18 years and older.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and 
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for 
this ICR are summarized in the table below.
