Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 concerning opportunity for public comment on proposed
collections of information, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of
proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed project
or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the
SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer at (240) 276-1243. Comments are
invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other

Proposed Project--``Talk. They Hear You.'' Campaign Evaluation: Case
Study (OMB No. 0930-0373)--Extension
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) is requesting
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a
replicated data collection, ``Talk. They Hear You.'' Campaign
Evaluation: Case Study (the ``case study''). This collection includes
three instruments:
1. Parent/Caregiver Pre-Test/Post-Test Survey
2. Youth Pre-Test and Post-Test Survey
3. Parent/Caregiver Interview Guide
The case study collection is part of a larger effort to evaluate
the impact of the ``Talk. They Hear You.'' campaign. This evaluation
will help determine the extent to which the campaign has been
successful in educating parents and caregivers nationwide about
effective methods for reducing underage drinking. The campaign is
designed to educate and empower parents and caregivers to talk with
children about alcohol and other substances. To prevent initiation of
underage drinking and substance use, the campaign targets parents and
caregivers of children aged 9-20, with the following specific aims:
1. Increasing parents' awareness of the prevalence and risk of
underage drinking and substance use;
2. Equipping parents with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to
prevent underage drinking and substance use; and
3. Increasing parents' actions to prevent underage drinking and
substance use. For this evaluation, SAMHSA intends to measure knowledge
and attitudes before and after a focused campaign outreach effort in
areas that have not previously had significant exposure to the
campaign. Participants in the evaluation will be recruited from a
middle school community, and will include parents/caregivers and
students. School administrators and partnering organization(s), such as
parent/caregiver organizations and/or local educational partner
organizations will assist in the dissemination of campaign materials
and data collection efforts.
There will be two sites selected for the case study--one site will
serve as the experimental group, and the other site will serve as the
control group. The experimental group will be exposed to the ``Talk.
They Hear You.'' messages using standard campaign materials and
dissemination strategies, which will be coordinated through the school
and potentially a local partner organization. The control group will
not be intentionally exposed to the campaign materials. The case study
will include baseline surveys of parents/caregivers and children of
middle school age in both the experimental and control communities,
followed by exposure to campaign materials in the experimental
community, and post-exposure surveys of parents/caregivers and children
in both communities. Additionally, SAMHSA will conduct 30 interviews
with parents and caregivers following the post-exposure surveys at the
experimental site to obtain more detailed information about the
specific impact of the campaign.
