doc.com Module Project
In compliance with Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 concerning
opportunity for public comment on
proposed collections of information, the
National Institute on Drug Abuse
SUMMARY:
(NIDA), the National Institutes of Health
(NIH) will publish periodic summaries
of proposed projects to be submitted to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval.
Proposed Collection: Title: Study of
Substance Abuse doc.com Module
Project. Type of Information Collection
Request: NEW. Need and Use of
Information Collection: This is a request
for a two-year generic clearance to a
conduct research study to assess the
efficacy of a specific interactive webbased teaching module in the field of
professional education of healthcare
providers. This online module was
developed as a work product by the
same team of investigators from Drexel
University College of Medicine
(DUCOM) and University of
Pennsylvania School of Medicine (Penn
Med) under a contract as part of NIDA’s
Center of Excellence (CoE) for Physician
Information. This project will assess
efficacy of the NIDA CoE online
teaching module with educational
interventions in enhancing: (1) The
knowledge of healthcare professionals
about substance use disorders; (2)
attitudes of healthcare professionals
toward patients with these disorders
and (3) communication skills in
providing assessment and referral to
treatment for patients who abuse
substances. The overall goal of this
project is to assess the efficacy of an
educational intervention, which should
result in an increase in the involvement
of primary care providers in the
screening, managing and, when
appropriate, referring patients with
substance use disorders. This effort is
made according to Executive Order
12862, which directs Federal agencies
that provide significant services directly
Estimated number
of subjects
Respondents
to the public to survey customers to
determine the kind and quality of
services they want and their level of
satisfaction with existing services.
The project will utilize a randomized
cluster controlled trial design that
compares the group that receives
educational exposure to the set of new
educational interventions (NIDA online
teaching module plus educational
adjuncts) to a control group that
receives exposure to the standard
medical school or residency educational
curriculum related to substance use
disorders. The project will use a
repeated measures approach to assess
the educational intervention’s efficacy
(i.e., individuals will take surveys
before and after exposure to the
intervention or to the control
curriculum). The outcomes of the study
will be based on changes in knowledge,
attitudes and indirect measures of
communication skills before and after
the intervention, compared to the
changes in these parameters in the
control group.
Frequency of Response: This project
will be conducted annually or
biennially. Affected Public: Individuals
and businesses. Type of Respondents:
medical students and resident
physicians. The annual reporting
burden is calculated as follows:
Estimated Total Annual Number of
Respondents: 708; Estimated Number of
Responses per Respondent: 4 for
medical students; 2 for resident
physicians; Average Burden Hours per
Response: 0.17. Estimated Total Annual
Burden Hours Requested: 377; There are
no Capital Costs to report. There are no
Operating or Maintenance Costs to
report. The estimated annualized
burden is summarized below.

Interview and Pretesting (NCI)
Summary: 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
National Cancer Institute (NCI), the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) will
publish periodic summaries of proposed

Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval.
Proposed Collection: Title:
Questionnaire Cognitive Interview and
Pretesting. Type of Information
Collection Request: Extension. Need and
Use of Information Collection: The
purpose of the data collection is to
conduct cognitive interviews, focus
groups, Pilot household interviews, and
experimental research in laboratory and
field settings, both for applied
questionnaire evaluation and more basic
research on response errors in surveys.
The most common evaluation method is
the cognitive interview, in which a
questionnaire design specialist
interviews a volunteer participant. The
interviewer administers the draft survey
questions as written, but also probes the
participant in depth about
interpretations of questions, recall
processes used to answer them, and
adequacy of response categories to
express answers, while noting points of

The estimated total annual burden
hours requested is 1,200 which amounts
to approximately 3,600 hours over three
years. There are no annualized costs to
respondents. The annualized costs to
the Federal Government are estimated at
$264,000 and include cost of NCI staff
to plan, conduct, and analyze outcomes
of questionnaire development,
contracting for pretesting activities and
research, travel costs, and additional
materials needed to conduct and recruit
participants for the research.

confusion and errors in responding.
Interviews are generally conducted in
small rounds of 10–15 interviews. When
possible, cognitive interviews are
conducted in the survey’s intended
mode of administration. Cognitive
interviewing provides useful
information on questionnaire
performance at minimal cost and
respondent burden. Similar
methodology has been adopted by other
Federal agencies, as well as by academic
and commercial survey organizations.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 600.
Frequency of Response: Once. Affected
Public: Individuals and households,
Private Sector (business or other forprofits, not-for-profit institutions) and
possibly, State, Local or Tribal
Governments. The table below
represents the burden over a three-year
data collection period, which is a
typical request for a generic submission.
