To do so, a public education and awareness campaign will be launched to bring about changes in beliefs and social norms among target audiences (women aged 40–60, healthcare practitioners, and the general public) that CFS is a diagnosable and treatable physical illness. Although considerable research will be done to ensure that campaign themes, messages, and materials are effective, there is no way to test the impact of the campaign on the target audience other than to conduct baseline and follow-up surveys. These surveys will measure not only the level of awareness created by the campaign, but will measure change in key knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about CFS among the target audiences. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 88.
