Proposed Project Formative Research on Issues Related to the Use of Mass Media in AfricanAmerican Women: Phase II—New— National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Women’s health programs, including the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), offer low-cost or free breast cancer screening to uninsured, low-income women. In 1991, CDC established the NBCCEDP to increase breast and cervical cancer screening among uninsured, underserved, low-income women. To date, over 1.5 million women have received services from NBCCEDP-sponsored programs, yet NBCCEDP-sponsored programs are estimated to reach only 18% of women 50 years old and older who are eligible for screening services. Why women do not participate in this screening is not well understood. A research priority for the NBCCEDP is to identify effective strategies to increase enrollment among eligible women who have never received breast or cervical cancer screening. CDC conducted a phase I study (OMB number 0920–0652) to investigate, through a series of eight focus groups in Macon and Savannah, Georgia, the reasons why women who were eligible for NBCCEDP services did or did not participate in the program. Respondents were low-income, African American women aged 40 to 64 years. The study also investigated viable sources, messages, and channels through which to reach this population with promotional messages about breast cancer screening. The proposed phase II data collection will build on phase I activities. Eight additional focus groups will be conducted in Macon and Savannah, Georgia, to (1) test consumer response to concepts that arose in the Phase I formative research related to breast cancer screening, and (2) test a series of radio and print health messages aimed at increasing mammography screening among low-income African American women for cultural appropriateness. Respondents will be NBCCEDP-eligible African-American women aged 40–64 years. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 175.

May 2007), the data collection was done by telephone survey on a monthly, then quarterly, basis through out the campaign, surveying 300 tweens at each data collection. The survey measured VERB awareness and understanding, various attributes of the brand (coolness, likeability) and appeal of the advertising. All VERB advertising ended September 30, 2006. The purpose of this collection is to examine the tween audience’s retention of the brand and its meaning 1-year post campaign.

    Women's health programs, including the National Breast and Cervical 
Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), offer low-cost or free breast 
cancer screening to uninsured, low-income women. In 1991, CDC 
established the NBCCEDP to increase breast and cervical cancer 
screening among uninsured, underserved, low-income women. To date, over 
1.5 million women have received services from NBCCEDP-sponsored 
programs, yet NBCCEDP-sponsored programs are estimated to reach only 
18% of women 50 years old and older who are eligible for screening 
services. Why women do not participate in this screening is not well 
understood. A research priority for the NBCCEDP is to identify 
effective strategies to increase enrollment among eligible women who 
have never received breast or cervical cancer screening.
