Background and Brief Description The mission of 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, 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. CDC requests OMB approval of a generic information collection request to develop and test cancer prevention and control messages, including, but not limited to, colorectal and gynecologic cancers. Because communication campaigns will vary according to the type of cancer, qualitative dimensions of the message, and the type of respondents, DCPC has developed a reference set of questions that can be tailored for use in a variety of focus group-based information collections. The discussion guide for each focus group will be drawn from the reference set of pre-approved questions. Insights gained from the focus groups will assist in the development and/or refinement of messages and materials to ensure that the general public and other key audiences clearly understand the messages and are motivated to adopt the desired action. Screening information will be collected from potential respondents in order to identify those who represent key audiences for specific messages. The average burden for participating in a focus group discussion will be two hours. Over a three-year period, DCPC will conduct or sponsor up to 72 focus groups per year with an average of 12 respondents each. There are no costs to respondents except their time.

The Attorney General may waive application of this inadmissibility on health-related grounds if an application for waiver is filed and approved by the consular office considering the application for visa. CDC uses this application primarily to collect information to establish and maintain records of waiver applicants in order to notify the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services when terms, conditions and controls imposed by waiver are not met. CDC is requesting approval from OMB to collect this data for another 3 years. There are no costs to respondents except their time to complete the application.
