Proposed Project
Focus Group Testing To Effectively
Plan and Tailor Cancer Prevention and
Control Communication Campaigns—
New—Division of Cancer Prevention
and Control (DCPC), National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The mission of the CDC’s Division of
Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC)
is to reduce the burden of cancer in the
United States through cancer
prevention, reduction of risk, early
detection, better treatment, and
improved quality of life for cancer
survivors. Toward this end, the DCPC
supports the scientific development,
implementation, and evaluation of
various health communication
campaigns with an emphasis on specific
cancer burdens. This process requires
testing of messages, concepts, and
materials prior to their final
development and dissemination, as
described in the second step of the
health communication process, a
scientific model developed by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services’ National Cancer Institute to
guide sound campaign development.
The communication literature
supports various data collection
methods to conduct credible formative,
concept, message, and materials testing,
one of which is focus groups. The
Number of
respondents
Type of respondents and form name
purpose of focus groups is to ensure that
the public and other key audiences, like
health professionals, clearly understand
cancer-specific information and
concepts, are motivated to take the
desired action, and do not react
negatively to the messages.
The proposed information collection
will involve focus groups to assess
numerous qualitative dimensions of
cancer prevention and control messages,
including, but not limited to,
knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behavioral
intentions, information needs and
sources, and compliance to
recommended screening intervals.
Insights gained from the focus groups
will assist in the development and/or
refinement of future campaign messages
and materials. Respondents will include
health care providers as well as
members of the general public. Because
communication campaigns will vary
according to the type of cancer, the
qualitative dimensions of the message
described above, and the type of
respondents, DCPC has developed a
library of questions that can be tailored
for use by a variety of types of focus
groups. A generic clearance of the
repository of questions is requested. The
discussion guide for each focus group
will be drawn from the list of preapproved questions.
The average burden for each focus
group discussion will be two hours.
DCPC will conduct or sponsor up to 66
focus groups per year over a three-year
period. An average of 12 respondents
will participate in each focus group
discussion.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 1,663.
