    Type of Collection: Revision.
    OMB No.: 0990-0281--Office of Disease Prevention and Health 
Promotion.
    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 websites (www.healthfinder.gov, www.HealthyPeople.gov, 
www.health.gov) and through other channels including social media, 
print materials, interactive training modules, and reports. 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. 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.
