Proposed Project
Formative Evaluation of Adults’ and
Children’s Views Related to Promotion
of Healthy Food Choices—New—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In FY 2004, Congress directed the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) to conduct formative
research on the attitudes of children and
parents regarding nutrition behavior.
Specifically, the conferees’ FY 2004
Appropriation Language instructs CDC
to research parents’ and children’s
viewpoints on ‘‘the characteristics of
effective marketing of foods to children
to promote healthy food choices.’’ Upon
completion, a report detailing CDC’s
E:\FR\FM\05SEN1.SGM
05SEN1
52334
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 171 / Tuesday, September 5, 2006 / Notices
findings is to ‘‘be submitted to the
appropriate Committees of jurisdiction
of Congress.’’
In response, CDC has contracted with
the Academy for Educational
Development (AED) to conduct focus
groups to identify key audience
concepts around food choices, and
develop and test concepts and messages
aimed at increasing healthy food
choices among children. For the
research to be useful to Congress and to
the nation’s public health agenda, a
thorough understanding of children at
different developmental stages regarding
their attitudes toward healthy food
choices, and the barriers and
motivations for adopting and sustaining
these choices is essential. Additionally,
a thorough understanding of parents
who can influence the health behaviors
of children is important. This
understanding will facilitate the
development of messages, strategies,
and tactics that resonate with children,
parents, and other influencers.
The focus groups will be conducted in
three phases: Phase One will address
‘‘tweens’’ (ages 9–13) and parents of
tweens; Phase 2 will focus on children
6–8 years old and their parents, and
Phase 3 will conduct groups with
parents of children under 6 years old.
Current literature and opinion leaders
both strongly suggest that tweens greatly
influence their parents’ and younger
siblings’ nutritional decisions.
For each phase, 36 focus groups will
be conducted; thus, three phases will
amount to 108 total focus groups. In
Phases 1 and 2, focus groups will
involve both youth and their parents or
key caregivers. In this way, CDC can
gain insight into both parents’ and
children’s views and family shared
decision-making associated with food
choices and attitudes toward healthy
eating patterns. For Phase 3, 36 focus
groups about the toddler/young child
set (ages 1–5) will be held with their
parents and other important influencers
such as educators, primary caregivers,
health care providers. (See chart below
for specifics on structure and related
burden.)

All focus group recruiting will
incorporate appropriate representation
of diverse ethnic groups, and the groups
will be held in several cities to ensure
broad geographic representation.
Participants will be recruited by focus
group facilities utilizing their database
to solicit and screen interested parties.
The screening process will include two
calls for every successful recruit, each
taking approximately 5 minutes. Each
focus group will be asked to respond
verbally. The moderator will utilize a
prepared guide which is designed to
specifically ensure that the discussion is
limited to 2 hours.
The intent of this research is to solicit
input and feedback from potential
audiences. The information gathered
will be used to develop, refine, and
modify messages and strategies to
increase healthy food choices by
children and parents. There is no cost
to respondents other than their time to
participate in the survey.
