    Title of the Collection: ASPA COVID-19 Public Education Campaign 
Evaluation Surveys.
    Type of Collection: Revision.
    OMB No. 0990-0475--Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public 
Affairs (ASPA) within Office of the Secretary.
    Abstract: The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs 
(ASPA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is 
requesting a revision on a currently approved collection including two 
components: 1. COVID-19 Attitudes and Beliefs Survey (CABS), and 2. 
Monthly Outcome Survey (MOS). This revision supports continuation of 
the approved data collection by adding burden to support the program 
through the expiration of the package 0990-0475 on February 29, 2024.
    Throughout execution of ASPA's COIVD-19 Public Education Campaign, 
this information will primarily be used to determine whether the 
campaign is having the intended impact on target audiences' knowledge, 
attitudes, and beliefs as they relate to COVID-19, COVID-19 
vaccination, boosting, and uptake of vaccination among eligible 
children, as well as adherence to preventative behaviors. It will also 
keep key stakeholders informed of the Campaign's progress. Ultimately, 
the data will inform a thorough evaluation of the efficacy of the 
campaign and its impact on vaccine and booster uptake.

COVID-19 Attitudes and Beliefs Survey (CABS)

    The CABS is a longitudinal survey that fields tri-annually to 4,000 
U.S. adults through the duration of 0990-0475 via NORC at the 
University of Chicago's AmeriSpeak Panel. The survey is fielded online, 
and each fielding period lasts between 3 and 6 weeks. Those that 
respond to each wave of the survey are recontacted in each subsequent 
wave, facilitating a comparison of COVID-19 behavior change over time 
for a representative sample and evaluation of U.S. adults. Panel 
members selected to participate in the study received one pre-
invitation postcard in the mail, one email invitation, and three email 
reminders to complete the survey in each wave. There are two CABS 
supplements to increase robustness of the evaluation, one to obtain 
enough parent respondents of eligible-to-vaccinate children and another 
to obtain respondents' media consumption habits.

Monthly Outcome Survey (MOS)

    The MOS is a cross-sectional survey fielded monthly to 5,000 U.S. 
adults over two years (24 waves) via the Ipsos KnowledgePanel 5K 
Omnibus Survey. The is fielded online, and each fielding period lasts 
between 7 and 10 days.
