This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on August 15, 2005, page 47840 and allowed 60 days for public comment. One public comment was received from the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) and was responded to on August 31, 2005. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National Institutes of Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Proposed Collection Title: Field Test of the Discovering the Science of Alcohol Curriculum. Type of Information Collection Request: New. Need and Use of Information Collection: The Discovering the Science of Alcohol curriculum (DSA) was developed with a Phase II SBIR grant to bring accurate, research-based information to high school students in biology and science classrooms. The curriculum includes standards-based content objectives and assessment activities. Curriculum materials include a teacher’s guide and Web site. The field test is necessary to estimate the DSA curriculum’s effectiveness in conveying information to students and teachers. Specifically, the field study is designed to enable NIAAA to determine whether teachers and students who complete the DSA curriculum demonstrate significantly greater knowledge of the topics covered in the curriculum than teachers and students who do not use the DSA curriculum. In addition, the study is designed to enable NIAAA to determine whether the students who are exposed to the curriculum components self-report different beliefs, attitudes, and intentions regarding alcohol use than their counterparts who are not exposed to the curriculum at their schools. Participating in this field test will be an experimental group of 30 high school biology classrooms with a total of approximately 400 to 500 students and a control group of 30 high school biology classrooms with approximately 400 to 500 students. Teachers and students from grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 will comprise both groups. The field test will include two surveys: (1) An online, computerized survey that measures teachers’ knowledge of the DSA curriculum components and teacher satisfaction with the DSA curriculum components. (2) For students, an anonymous, online, computerized survey that measures three factors: (a) Student knowledge of the DSA components, (b) student attitudes, beliefs, and intentions, and (c) student satisfaction with the DSA curriculum components. Frequency of response: Once per respondent. Affected Public: Individuals. Type of Respondents: Biology/Science teachers and high school students. The reporting burden is as follows: Estimated Number of Respondents: It is estimated that we will be able to recruit approximately 60 teachers and approximately 1000 students. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: One Response per respondent. Average Burden Hours per Response: 15 minutes per individual in the control group and 30 minutes per individual in the experimental group, for a total respondent burden of 662.5 hours. Estimated Costs to Respondents: Assuming an hourly rate of $22 for teachers, we estimate the total costs to be $825. There are no Capital Costs to report. There are no Operating or Maintenance costs to report.

Proposed Collection

    Title: Field Test of the Discovering the Science of Alcohol 
Curriculum.
    Type of Information Collection Request: New.
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The Discovering the Science 
of Alcohol curriculum (DSA) was developed with a Phase II SBIR grant to 
bring accurate, research-based information to high school students in 
biology and science classrooms. The curriculum includes standards-based 
content objectives and assessment activities. Curriculum materials 
include a teacher's guide and Web site. The field test is necessary to 
estimate the DSA curriculum's effectiveness in conveying information to 
students and teachers.
    Specifically, the field study is designed to enable NIAAA to 
determine whether teachers and students who complete the DSA curriculum 
demonstrate significantly greater knowledge of the topics covered in 
the curriculum than teachers and students who do not use the DSA 
curriculum. In addition, the study is designed to enable NIAAA to 
determine whether the students who are exposed to the curriculum 
components self-report different beliefs, attitudes, and intentions 
regarding alcohol use than their counterparts who are not exposed to 
the curriculum at their schools.
    Participating in this field test will be an experimental group of 
30 high school biology classrooms with a total of approximately 400 to 
500 students and a control group of 30 high school biology classrooms 
with approximately 400 to 500 students. Teachers and students from 
grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 will comprise both groups. The field test will 
include two surveys: (1) An online, computerized survey that measures 
teachers' knowledge of the DSA curriculum components and teacher 
satisfaction with the DSA curriculum components. (2) For students, an 
anonymous, online, computerized survey that measures three factors: (a) 
Student knowledge of the DSA components, (b) student attitudes, 
beliefs, and intentions, and (c) student satisfaction with the DSA 
curriculum components.
    Frequency of response: Once per respondent.
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Type of Respondents: Biology/Science teachers and high school 
students.
    The reporting burden is as follows: Estimated Number of 
Respondents: It is estimated that we will be able to recruit 
approximately 60 teachers and approximately 1000 students.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: One Response per 
respondent.
    Average Burden Hours per Response: 15 minutes per individual in the 
control group and 30 minutes per individual in the experimental group, 
for a total respondent burden of 662.5 hours.
    Estimated Costs to Respondents: Assuming an hourly rate of $22 for 
teachers, we estimate the total costs to be $825. There are no Capital 
Costs to report. There are no Operating or Maintenance costs to report.
