Background and Brief Description
Child maltreatment (CM) is a major
public health problem in the United
States, causing substantial morbidity
and mortality (DHHS, 2010), and the
prevalence for any of the three major
types of CM (physical abuse, sexual
abuse, and neglect) is estimated at
approximately 28% (Hussey et al.,
2006). Additionally, the annual
incidence of any type of CM among

children and adolescents 0–17 has been
estimated at nearly 14%, while physical
and sexual abuse are estimated at 3.7%
and 0.6%, respectively (Finkelhor et al.,
2005). CM has been shown to have
lifelong adverse physical and mental
health consequences for victims (Felitti
et al., 1998), including behavioral
problems (Felitti et al. 1998; Repetti et
al. 2002), mental health conditions such
as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
(Browne and Finkelhor, 1986; Holmes
and Sammel, 2005; Moeller and
Bachman, 1993), increased trouble with
interpersonal relationships (Fang and
Corso, 2007), increased risk of chronic
diseases (Browne and Finkelhor, 1986),
and lasting impacts or disability from
physical injury (Dominguez et al. 2001).
The consequences of CM have both a
direct impact, through reduced health,
as well as an indirect impact, through
reduced health-related quality of life
(HRQoL, or simply QoL), the state of
‘‘utility’’ or satisfaction that a person
experiences as a result of their health
(Drummond et al. 1997).
The CDC requests approval of a
survey-based study to measure the
Health-Related Quality-of-Life (HRQoL)
impacts resulting from child
maltreatment (CM) using a quantitative,
preference-based approach. The U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services, among many others, has
identified child maltreatment as a
serious U.S. public health problem with
substantial long-term physical and
psychological consequences. Despite
considerable research on the
consequences of CM in adults, few
studies have utilized standard HRQoL
techniques and none have quantified
childhood HRQoL impacts. This gap in
the literature means the full burden of
CM on HRQoL has not been measured,
inhibiting the evaluation and
comparison of CM intervention
programs. This study will improve
public health knowledge and economic
evaluation of the HRQoL impacts of CM,
including effects specific to juvenile and
adolescent victims, through the

development and fielding a preferencebased survey instrument.
CDC has developed an exploratory
survey instrument to quantify the
HRQoL impacts of child maltreatment
following standardized HRQoL
methods. The survey was developed
based on findings from a literature
review of CM outcomes, focus groups
with adult CM victims, and expert
review of outcomes by clinician
consultants who work with children
and/or adults who were victims of CM
or who are researchers in the field of
CM. The survey is designed to quantify
two types of data. The main objective is
the HRQoL decrement attributable to
CM, measured as the difference in
HRQoL scores by CM victimization
history. A secondary objective is a
statistical evaluation of these
decrements, based on respondent
preferences over a series of comparisons
that will be shown to survey
respondents.
The online survey will be fielded to
a nationally-representative sample of
750 adults ages 18–29 and 1100 adults
ages 18 and up, for a total of 1850 U.S.
adults. The survey will include HRQoL
questions to capture the two types of
data above, as well as select items on
sociodemographics. Past exposure to
CM will be measured using the Child
Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), the
briefest and most nonintrusive set of
scientifically validated questions to
identify 5 types of past child abuse and
neglect.
Final results will provide an estimate
of the HRQoL burden of child
maltreatment in the United States.
Analysis and results of the survey data
may provide suggestive information on
the impacts of CM to the scientific and
public health communities to help
determine whether future studies using
similar methods should be conducted
after this exploratory study. There is no
cost to respondents other than their
time. The total estimated annual burden
hours are 771.

Proposed Project
Health Message Testing System (OMB
No. 0920–0572, Exp. 11/31/2011)—
Revision—Office of the Associate
Director for Communication, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention CDC).
tkelley on DSKG8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Background and Brief Description
Before CDC disseminates a health
message to the public, the message
always undergoes scientific review.
However, even though the message is
based on sound scientific content, there
is no guarantee that the public will
understand a health message or that the
message will move people to take
recommended action. Communication
theorists and researchers agree that for
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:42 Sep 28, 2011
Jkt 223001
health messages to be as clear and
influential as possible, target audience
members or representatives must be
involved in developing the messages
and provisional versions of the
messages must be tested with members
of the target audience.
However, increasingly there are
circumstances when CDC must move
swiftly to protect life, prevent disease,
or calm public anxiety. Health message
testing is even more important in these
instances, because of the critical nature
of the information need.
CDC receives a mandate from
Congress with a tight deadline for
communicating with the public about a
specific topic. For example, Congress
gave CDC 120 days to develop and test
messages for a public information
campaign about Helicobacter pylori, a
bacterium that can cause stomach ulcers
and increase cancer risk if an infected
individual is not treated with
antibiotics.
In the interest of timely health
message dissemination, many programs
forgo the important step of testing
messages on dimensions such as clarity,
salience, appeal, and persuasiveness
(i.e., the ability to influence behavioral
intention). Skipping this step avoids the
delay involved in the standard OMB
review process, but at a high potential
cost. Untested messages can waste
communication resources and
opportunities because the messages can
be perceived as unclear or irrelevant.
Untested messages can also have
unintended consequences, such as
jeopardizing the credibility of Federal
health officials.
The Health Message Testing System
(HMTS), a generic information
collection, will enable programs across
CDC to collect the information they
require in a timely manner to:
• Ensure quality and prevent waste in
the dissemination of health information
by CDC to the public.
• Refine message concepts and to test
draft materials for clarity, salience,

appeal, and persuasiveness to target
audiences.
• Guide the action of health
communication officials who are
responding to health emergencies,
Congressionally-mandated campaigns
with short timeframes, media-generated
public concern, time-limited
communication opportunities, trends,
and the need to refresh materials or
dissemination strategies in an ongoing
campaign.
Each testing instrument will be based
on specific health issues or topics.
Although it is not possible to develop
one instrument for use in all instances,
the same kinds of questions are asked in
most message testing. This package
includes generic questions and formats
that can used to develop health message
testing data collection instruments.
These include a list of screening
questions, comprised of demographic
and introductory questions, along with
other questions that can be used to
create a mix of relevant questions for
each proposed message testing data
collection method. However, programs
may request to use additional questions
if needed.
Message testing questions will focus
on issues such as comprehension,
impressions, personal relevance,
content and wording, efficacy of
response, channels, and spokesperson/
sponsor. Such information will enable
message developers to enhance the
effectiveness of messages for intended
audiences.
Data collection methods proposed for
HMTS include intercept interviews,
telephone interviews, focus groups,
online surveys, and cognitive
interviews. In almost all instances, data
will be collected by outside
organizations under contract with CDC.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
2,470.
