all stages of life by making our food
supply safe, identifying harmful
behaviors, and improving our
environment.
CDC and the Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR) must fulfill their mission and
mandate to frequently communicate
urgent and sensitive health messages
with the general public, members of the
public with certain diseases or disabling
conditions, and those at a greater risk of
exposure to disease or injury causing
agents. CDC/ATSDR makes this crucial
health information available through
many channels including books,
periodicals, and monographs; internet
Web sites; health and safety guidelines;
reports from investigations and
emergency responses; public health
monitoring and statistics; travel
advisories; answers to public inquiries;
and health education campaigns.
In addition to serving the public,
CDC/ATSDR delivers health
information that enables health
providers to make critical decisions. For
instance, the practicing medical and
dental communities and the nation’s
health care providers are target
audiences for numerous official CDC
recommendations concerning the
diagnosis and treatment of disease,
immunization schedules, infection
control, and clinical prevention
practices. CDC/ATSDR offers technical
assistance and training to health
professionals as well.
In order to ensure that the public and
other key audiences, like health care
providers, understand the information,
are motivated to take action, and are not
offended or react negatively to the
messages, it is critical to test messages
and materials prior to their production
and release. Currently, each CDC
program developing health messages is
required to submit its message
development and testing activities for
individual OMB review. Many CDC
programs have extremely short
deadlines for developing and producing
health messages. Some deadlines are
imposed by Congress, and others are
necessitated by the time-sensitive nature
of the work. Many programs cannot
accommodate the time required for
OMB approval, and therefore skip the
message testing step altogether, or resort
to testing specific portions of messages
with 9 or fewer individuals. The science

support these programmatic practices.
In fact, these undesirable alternatives
weaken CDC/ATSDR position as a
research-based public health agency
providing credible health information
that people can count on and use.
CDC may achieve a greater level of
efficacy if it can use four routine health
message development and testing
methods: (1) Central Location Intercept
Interviews (i.e., ‘‘shopping mall’’
interviews); (2) Customer Satisfaction
Phone Interviews; (3) Focus Groups; and
(4) Web-enabled research. Virtually
every Center, Institute, and Office (CIO)
at CDC could achieve a higher level of
confidence that health messages were
understandable and would provoke no
unintended consequences if they were
empowered to use these methods
efficiently. The CDC Office of
Communication therefore requests
approval for renewal of the Health
Message Testing System that will
conduct up to 64 message testing
activities per year for each of three
years. If all 64 testing activities are
implemented, the total estimated
annualized burden is 3,000 hours.
