The Appalachian Laboratory for Occupational Safety and Health (ALOSH), located in Morgantown, WV, is charged with administration of this Program. Over the past two years, participation in the CWXSP has increased, which is reflected in this submission for renewal. Physicians taking the B Reader Examination are asked to complete a registration form. There are approximately 300 physicians each year taking the certification exam. Miners participating in the CWXSP must fill out the Miner Identification Document. Mine operators are required to file a Mine X-ray Plan with NIOSH approximately every 3 years. Approximately 200 mine operators have X-ray plans that are due for renewal each year. An X-ray facility that applies to be a NIOSH-approved facility for providing miners X-rays must complete an approval packet. There are approximately 25 X-ray facilities each year seeking approval into the CWXSP Program. There will be no costs to study participants. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 2330.

The 36 focus groups in Phase 1 will consist of 24 focus groups of ‘‘tweens’’ (children ages 9–12 years) and 12 focus groups of their parents or key caregivers. Current literature and opinion leaders both strongly suggest that tweens greatly influence nutritional decisions made by their parents and younger siblings. Similarly, the 36 focus groups in Phase 2 will consist of 24 focus groups of children (ages 5–8 years) and 12 focus groups of their parents. Although parents and children may be recruited as parent-child dyads, parents will participate in focus groups for parents only, and children will participate in focus groups for children only. Phase 3 will consist of 18 focus groups involving parents or caregivers of children ages 2– 4 years; no children in this age group will be recruited. Focus group recruitment will incorporate appropriate representation of diverse ethnic groups, and the groups will be held in several cities to ensure broad geographic representation.

The theoretical basis of the study follows the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of Prochaska and DiClemente [1984]. This model states that change is defined by 5 stages: (1) Precontemplation—people are unaware of problems and are not thinking seriously about changing within the next 6 months, (2) contemplation—the stage where people become aware that a problem exists and intend to take action within the next 6 months, (3) preparation—investigating options and intending to take action in the next 30 E:\FR\FM\13DEN1.SGM 13DEN1

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 Fiscal Year (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 04 Appropriation Language instructs CDC
to research parents' and children's viewpoints on ``the characteristics
of effective marketing of foods to children

[[Page 70866]]

to promote healthy food choices.'' Upon completion, a report detailing
CDC's 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 and
caregivers who can influence the health behaviors of children is
important.
A total of 384 children and 336 parents will be organized into 90
focus groups (8 respondents per focus group). The 90 focus groups will
be conducted in three phases (36 focus groups in Phase 1, 36 focus
groups in Phase 2, and 18 focus groups in Phase 3). The 36 focus groups
in Phase 1 will consist of 24 focus groups of ``tweens'' (children ages
9-12 years) and 12 focus groups of their parents or key caregivers.
Current literature and opinion leaders both strongly suggest that
tweens greatly influence nutritional decisions made by their parents
and younger siblings. Similarly, the 36 focus groups in Phase 2 will
consist of 24 focus groups of children (ages 5-8 years) and 12 focus
groups of their parents. Although parents and children may be recruited
as parent-child dyads, parents will participate in focus groups for
parents only, and children will participate in focus groups for
children only. Phase 3 will consist of 18 focus groups involving
parents or caregivers of children ages 2-4 years; no children in this
age group will be recruited.
Focus group recruitment 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

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.
