Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of currently approved collection 0925–0208 (expiration 09/30/ 2009). Need and Use of Information Collection: The National Cancer Institute’s Cancer Information Service (CIS) provides the latest information on cancer, clinical trials, and tobacco cessation in English and Spanish. Clients are served by calling 1–800–4– CANCER for cancer information; 1–877– 44U–QUIT for smoking cessation services; and using the NCI’s LiveHelp, a Web-based chat service. CIS currently conducts a brief survey of a sample of telephone and LiveHelp clients at the end of usual service—a survey that includes three customer service and twelve demographic questions (age, sex, race, ethnicity, education, household income, number in household, and five questions about health care/coverage). Characterizing clients and how they found out about the CIS is essential to customer service, program planning, and promotion. The NCI also conducts a survey of individuals using the CIS’s smoking cessation services—a survey that includes 20 smoking/tobacco use ‘‘intake’’ questions that serve as a needs assessment that addresses smoking history, previous quit attempts, and motivations to quit smoking. An additional question is used with callers who want to receive proactive call-back services. Responses to these questions enable Information Specialists to provide effective individualized counseling. Frequency of Response: Once. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Type of Respondents: People with cancer; their relatives and friends; and general public, including smokers/tobacco users. Annualized estimates for numbers of respondents and respondent burden are presented in Table 1.
