Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–5960 and
send comments to Maryam I. Daneshvar,
CDC Acting Reports Clearance Officer,
1600 Clifton Road, MS–D74, Atlanta,
GA 30333 or send an e-mail to
omb@cdc.gov.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. Written comments should
be received within 60 days of this
notice.
awareness, knowledge and prepare for
the potential health effects associated
with climate change. To this end, focus
groups will be conducted with members
of a local California community to
understand motivations and factors
influencing target audience’s decision
process. There will also be an emphasis
on the health effects, framing devices,
and channels that might be most
effective for disseminating public health
messages and having them motivate the
intended audiences. With that in hand
it will be possible to identify the most
valuable information and optimal
strategies for communicating with target
audiences.
Focus groups will be conducted with
the residents of Santa Rosa, California.
During phase one, three exploratory
focus groups will be conducted to
develop messaging strategies. Results
from the exploratory focus groups will
be used in the development of
preliminary messaging strategies and
draft materials. This material will be
tested with the target audience during
the second phase of research. The
second phase will include three
materials testing focus groups to
determine which materials and
messages are most attractive and
compelling in terms of educating the
public about health effects and
promoting preparedness behaviors.
Participants will be recruited via
standard focus group recruitment
methods. Most will come from an
existing database (or list) of potential
participants maintained by the focus
group facility or recruited through local
newspapers.
There is no cost to respondents.

Background and Brief Description
The health effects associated with
climate change include injuries and
fatalities related to severe weather
events and heat waves, infectious
diseases related to changes in vector
biology, water and food contamination,
and respiratory illness due to increased
allergen production. Despite these
potentially devastating public health
consequences, few in the general public
connect climate change with health
effects. In general, the majority of
Americans associate climate change
with nonhuman impacts and
environmental problems rather than
health effects. Most therefore focus their
concern on the connection between
climate change and plant and animal
extinction rather than the impact on
human health. Thus, it is not surprising
that few in the general public are well
prepared to deal with climate change
health effects. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) is
interested in developing communication
materials to increase the public’s
