The first part of this study will measure the quantity and size distribution of aerosol droplets produced by people with influenza when they cough. To accomplish this, volunteers with influenza-like illness will be asked to provide an oral swab for influenza testing, and then will cough into a spirometer. The aerosol produced by each person will be measured using commercially-available instrumentation. The oral swabs will be processed after the aerosol experiments are completed. The second part of this study will determine the amount and size of airborne particles containing influenza virus that are present in a hospital emergency department during influenza season. Health care workers will be recruited to wear small aerosol collection devices as they go about their normal duties. The collected samples will then be analyzed for influenza virus. Adult patients in the emergency department with influenza-like illness will be asked to provide an oral swab to test for the flu virus in order to estimate the number of potential sources of viralladen airborne particles. There will be no costs to study participants. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 35.

The objective of the registry is to identify persons with unexplained fatiguing illnesses, including CFS, who access the healthcare system because of their symptoms. Patients will be between the ages of 12 and 59, inclusive. Specific aims of the registry are: (1) Identify and enroll patients with CFS and other unexplained fatiguing illnesses who are receiving medical and ancillary medical care and describe their epidemiologic and clinical characteristics; (2) follow CFS patients and patients with other fatiguing illnesses over time to characterize the natural history of CFS and other unexplained fatiguing illnesses; (3) assess and monitor health care providers’ knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs concerning CFS; (4) and to identify well-characterized CFS patients for clinical studies and intervention trials. These specific aims require inclusion of subjects in early stages of CFS (i.e., ill less than one year duration) who can be followed longitudinally to assess changes in their CFS symptoms.

Specifically, the CFS Registry Pilot Test will evaluate surveillance of patients with CFS identified through physician practices and a surveillance of CFS patients identified by physicians and other health care providers. The proposed study will begin when a provider refers a patient to the registry. Patients who consent to be contacted for the registry will be asked to complete a detailed telephone interview that screens for medical and psychiatric eligibility. Eligible subjects will be invited to have a clinical evaluation that comprises a physical examination; collection of blood, urine, and saliva specimens; a mental health interview; and self-administered questionnaires.

Proposed Project

The Effectiveness of Teen Safe Driving Messages and Creative
Elements on Parents and Teens--New--National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

Car crashes are the number one killer of teens, accounting for
approximately one-third of all deaths within this age group. The
National Center for Health Statistics reports that in 2004, a total of
3,620 young drivers were killed and an additional 303,000 were injured
in motor vehicle crashes. In order to reduce these preventable deaths
and injuries, parental awareness and education about Graduated Driver's
Licensing (GDL) laws and the ways that parents can influence their
children's safe driving are necessary. In preparation for a national
campaign to educate parents about their role in their teens' driver
education, it is necessary to determine the most effective messages and
channels through which to communicate with parents. Ogilvy Public
Relations Worldwide, PerformTech, International Communications Research
(ICR) Survey and Fieldwork Network, on behalf of CDC, will conduct two
studies to assess the appropriateness and impact of messages and
creative materials intended to (a) increase parental involvement in
their teen's driving education and experience, and (b) encourage teens
to adopt safer driving practices.
The first information collection will be accomplished through focus
group testing of campaign messages and materials with representatives
from our target audiences, parents and teens, in two cities in the U.S.
The findings will provide valuable information regarding parents' and
teens' levels of awareness and concern about safe driving; motivators
for behavior change, especially GDL compliance; and message/channel
preferences. The information collected will be used to develop final
creative materials to implement the teen safe driving campaign in pilot
cities. The second information collection will be accomplished through
pilot city testing, which will evaluate knowledge, attitude and
behaviors of intended audiences both pre- and post-communications
campaign. The campaign will target parents of newly licensed drivers.
It will encourage parents to understand state regulations regarding new
drivers, talk with their teens about safe driving practices, and both
manage and monitor their teens' driving behavior. Testing

[[Page 73023]]

will be conducted through brief telephone surveys intended to assess
knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of parents and teens related to safe
driving practices, GDL laws, and parental management of new drivers
before and after the campaign; with the goal of observing a marked
increase in parental management at the time of the post campaign
survey.
There is no cost to the respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours are 195.
