    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 
initiatives including: Dietary Guidelines for Americans, Food is 
Medicine, Healthy People, Health Literacy, Healthy Aging, Physical 
Activity Guidelines for Americans, the Move Your Way Campaign and the 
President's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition. ODPHP communicates 
through its website (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 several 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 extension of the clearance.
