Abstract: The OS proposes to conduct a national media tracking survey as part of the Parents Speak Up National Campaign. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS) launched the Parents Speak Up National Campaign (PSUNC) in June 2007. This national public education campaign is designed to encourage parents of preteens and teens to talk to their children early and often about waiting to have sex. The campaign includes public service announcements (PSA) and print advertisements that guide parents to the https://4parents.gov Web site. The specific aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the PSUNC messages by measuring parents’ awareness of, reactions to, and receptivity to specific PSUNC advertising. In partnership with Knowledge Networks, an online panel based on a random-digit-dial sample of the full United States population, a probability baseline sample will be selected of 2,000 parents of children aged 10 to 14. Key research questions include changes in the following outcomes: Perceived risks from teen sexual activity, perceived susceptibility, attitudes towards teen sexual activity, self-efficacy to talk to their child, outcome efficacy, perceived value of delayed sexual activity, and parentchild communication about sex. Parents will self-administer the questionnaire at home on personal computers.

    Abstract: The OS proposes to conduct a national media tracking

Knowledge Networks, an online panel based on a random-digit-dial sample 
of the full United States population, a probability baseline sample

attitudes towards teen sexual activity, self-efficacy to talk to their 
child, outcome efficacy, perceived value of delayed sexual activity, 
and parent-child communication about sex. Parents will self-administer
