    Information Collection Request Title: Prevention Communication 
Formative Research--Revision--OMB No. 0990-0281.
    Abstract: The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(ODPHP) is focused on developing and disseminating health information 
to the public. ODPHP faces an increasingly urgent interest in finding 
effective ways to communicate health information to America's diverse 
population. ODPHP strives to be responsive to the needs of America's 
diverse audiences while simultaneously serving all Americans across a 
range of channels, from print to new communication technologies. To 
carry out prevention information efforts, ODPHP is committed to 
conducting formative and usability research to provide guidance on the 
development and implementation of their communication and education 
efforts. The information collected will be used to improve 
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. Data 
collection will be qualitative and quantitative and may include in-
depth interviews, focus groups, web-based surveys, omnibus surveys, 
card sorting, and various forms of usability testing of materials and 
interactive tools to assess the public's understanding of disease 
prevention and health promotion content, responses to prototype 
materials, and barriers to effective use.
    The program is requesting a 3-year clearance.
    Likely Respondents: Respondents are likely to be either consumers 
or health professionals.
