This study addresses the repeated recommendation by NIOSH that all commercial fishermen wear PFDs while on deck. NIOSH is requesting OMB approval for 24 months to administer a survey to collect data on fishermen’s perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs. Additionally, NIOSH is requesting approval to involve fishermen directly with an evaluation of the wearability of several different styles of PFDs during fishing operations. This study has the potential to greatly benefit the fishing industry. One of the first steps to increasing PFD use among commercial fishermen is gaining an understanding of fishermen’s reasons for not wearing PFDs. With the empirical data at hand, safety professionals may be better equipped to address fishermen’s concerns and remove the barriers that are currently in place. Findings from the PFD evaluations will provide manufacturers valuable information about commercial fishermen’s needs and expectations of PFDs. Because the PFD wearability ratings will be completed by fishermen during fishing operations, the results may have more credibility when they are disseminated to the industry. The PFD evaluation will also supply information to fishermen about which types of PFDs worked best for different types of fishing operations. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 200. Background and Brief Description NIOSH has the responsibility under Public Law 91–596 section 20 (Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970) to conduct research relating to innovative methods, techniques, and approaches for dealing with occupational safety and health problems. Commercial fishing is one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States, with a fatality rate 30 times higher than the national average. Most fishermen who die on the job drown subsequent to a vessel sinking (51%) or fall overboard (29%). Because drowning is the leading cause of death for commercial fishermen, its prevention is one of the highest priorities for those who work to make the industry safer. The risk of drowning for commercial fisherman is high, yet most fishermen do not wear Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) while on deck. From 1990 to 2005, 71 commercial fishermen drowned subsequent to a fall overboard in Alaska. None of the victims were wearing a PFD, and many were within minutes of being rescued when they lost their strength and disappeared under the surface of the water. Although there are many new styles of PFDs on the market, it is unknown how many commercial fishermen are aware of them, or if they are more comfortable and wearable than the older styles. There have not been any published studies testing PFDs on commercial fisherman to measure product attributes and satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to first, identify fishermen’s perceptions of risk, safety attitudes, and beliefs about PFDs; and second, to evaluate a variety of ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Number of respondents Type of respondent Average burden per response (in hours) Number of responses per respondent Total burden hours Fishermen (Survey) .........................................................................................

Proposed Project

Health Marketing--New--National Center for Health Marketing (NCHM),
Coordinating Center for Health Information and Service (CCHIS), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

CDC is globally recognized for conducting research and
investigations and for its action oriented approach. CDC applies
research and findings to improve people's daily lives and responds to
health emergencies--something that distinguishes CDC from its peer
agencies.
CDC is committed to achieving true improvements in people's health.
To do this, the agency is defining specific health protection goals to
prioritize and focus its work and investments and measure progress.
It is imperative that CDC provide high-quality timely information
and programs in the most effective ways to help people, families, and
communities protect their health and safety. Through continuous
consumer feedback, prevention research, and public health information
technology, we identify and evaluate health needs and interests,
translate science into actions to meet those needs, and engage the
public in the excitement of discovery and the progress being made to
improve the health of the Nation. In our outreach to partners, we build
relationships that model shared learning, mutual trust, and diversity
in points of view and sectors of society.
The National Center for Health Marketing (NCHM) of the Coordinating
Center for Health Information and Service (CCHIS) was established to
help ensure that health information, interventions, and programs at CDC
are based on sound science, objectivity, and continuous customer input.
NCHM is requesting a 3-year approval for the generic concept of
health marketing to provide feedback on the development, implementation
and satisfaction regarding public health services, products,
communication campaigns and information. The information will be
collected using standard qualitative and quantitative methods such as
interviews, focus groups, and panels, as well as questionnaires
administered in person, by telephone, by mail, by e-mail, and online.
More specific types of studies may include: user experience and user-
testing; concept/product/package development testing; brand
positioning/identity research; customer satisfaction surveying;
ethnography/observational studies; and mystery shopping. The data will
be used to provide input to the development, delivery and communication
of public health services and information at CDC and to address
emerging programmatic needs.
Every National Center and Office at CDC will have the opportunity
to utilize this generic clearance. There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time.
