Proposed Project: Teen Pregnancy
Prevention Replication Evaluation
Study: Baseline Data Collection—OMB
No. OS–0990–NEW—The Office of
Adolescent Health.
Abstract
The Office of Adolescent Health
(OAH), Office of the Assistant Secretary
for Health (OASH), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS), is
overseeing and coordinating adolescent
pregnancy prevention evaluation efforts
as part of the Teen Pregnancy
Prevention Initiative. OAH is working
collaboratively with the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation (ASPE), the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
and the Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) on adolescent pregnancy
prevention evaluation activities.
OAH will jointly oversee with ASPE
the Teen Pregnancy Prevention
Replication Evaluation Study (TPP
Replication Study). The TPP Replication
Study will be a random assignment
evaluation which will determine the
extent to which evidence-based program
models that have been shown to be
effective in an earlier trial, demonstrate
effects on adolescent sexual risk
behavior and teenage pregnancy when
they are replicated in similar and in
different settings and for different
populations.
The findings from this evaluation will
be of interest to the general public, to
policy-makers, and to organizations
interested in teen pregnancy prevention.
OAH and ASPE are proposing
baseline data collection activity as part
of the TPP Replication Evaluation.
Respondents will be asked to answer
carefully selected questions about
demographics and risk and protective
factors related to teen pregnancy.
Information from this data collection
will be used to perform meaningful
analysis to determine significant
program effects.
Respondents: The survey data will be
collected through private, selfadministered questionnaires completed
by study participants, i.e. adolescents
assigned to a select school or
community teen pregnancy prevention
program or a control group. Surveys will
be distributed and collected by trained
professional staff.

OMB No. 0920–0765—Revision—
Scientific Education and Professional
Development Program Office (SEPDPO),
Office of Surveillance, Epidemiology
and Laboratory Services (OSELS),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
SEPDPO is requesting approval to
revise and extend for three years; CDC’s
use of the online Fellowship
Management System (FMS) to allow
public health agencies and
organizations to submit fellowship
assignment proposals electronically,
using FMS. The FMS system will
continue to be used for its electronic

application and directory processes that
allow individuals to apply to
fellowships online, track applicant and
alumni information.
The mission of SEPDPO is to provide
leadership in public health training and
education, and manage innovative,
evidence-based programs to prepare the
health workforce to meet public health
challenges of the 21st century.
Professionals in public health,
epidemiology, medicine, economics,
information science, veterinary
medicine, nursing, public policy, and
other related professions seek
opportunities, through CDC fellowships,
to broaden their knowledge, skills, and
experience to improve the science and
practice of public health. CDC fellows
are assigned to state, tribal, local and
territorial public health agencies; federal
government agencies, including CDC,
and HHS operational divisions, such as
Indian Health Service; and to
nongovernmental organizations,
including academic institutions, tribal

organizations, and private public health
organizations.
FMS provides an efficient and
effective way for processing fellowship
application data, selecting qualified
candidates, maintaining a current
alumni database, documenting the
impact of the fellowships on alumni
careers, and generating reports. This
proposed revision will provide a secure
site within this existing electronic
system for designated employees of
public health agencies and
organizations to submit fellowship
assignment proposals electronically.
Designated employees of public
health agencies or organizations will
answer a standardized set of core
questions within FMS about the
proposed assignments, including the
type of public health agency or
organization submitting the proposal;
proposed fellow activities, including
training and opportunities for service
and collaboration; and how the fellow
will be supported, including the type
and extent of mentorship and
supervision the fellow will receive.
This revision enhances FMS to
include a function that will result in a
standardized process for submitting and
reviewing host assignment proposals
across fellowships. The electronic
assignment proposal process that FMS
provides optimizes the matching of
qualified fellowship candidates with
host sites and will result in an optimal
fit between fellows and their
assignments—ultimately leading to
long-term employment and sustained
public health capacity of state and local
health departments and other nonfederal public health agencies and
organizations.
The annual burden table has been
updated to reflect the number of
respondents from nonfederal public
health agencies or organizations that
submit assignment proposals to host
fellows. Some alumni are deceased or
cannot be located. Response burden
assumes response from an individual
responding alumnus, on average, every
3 years (which is likely an overestimate
of frequency). There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annual burden hours are
1201.

Proposed Project
Evaluation of the National Tobacco
Prevention and Control Public
Education Campaign—New—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) requests OMB
approval to collect information needed
for evaluating the CDC’s National
Tobacco Prevention and Control Public
Education Campaign (The Campaign).
This campaign, which is expected to
launch in February/March 2012, is the
first Federally-funded media campaign
in the U.S. that describes the harms
from smoking and will feature televised
advertisements that will air nationally
along with complementary ads on radio,
the Internet, in print, and other forms of
media.
CDC plans to conduct an initial
baseline survey of adults before the
launch of The Campaign and a
longitudinal follow-up survey of those
participants approximately three to four
months later. Information will be
collected about adult smokers’
awareness of and exposure to campaign
advertisements, and about their
knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs related
to smoking and secondhand smoke. In

addition, the survey will measure
behaviors related to smoking cessation
and behaviors related to interpersonal
communication about smoking.
Information will also be collected on
demographic variables including age,
sex, race, education, income, primary
language, and marital status.
Data from this survey will be used to
estimate the extent to which smokers
and non-smokers in the U.S. were
exposed to The Campaign and to
examine the statistical relationships
between adults’ exposure to The
Campaign and changes in outcome
variables of interest including attempts
to quit smoking.
Information will be collected through
on-line questionnaires involving adult
smokers and non-smokers in the U.S.,
ages 18–54. Respondents who are
smokers will be recruited from two
sources: a probability sample drawn
from the Knowledge Networks
KnowledgePanel®, a panel that uses
address-based postal mail sampling to
generate a probability-based online
panel of U.S. adults, and a supplemental
sample from SSI, a leading provider of
online sampling in the U.S.
Respondents who are non-smokers will
be recruited from Knowledge Networks.
The target number of complete pre-/
post-campaign questionnaires for
smokers is 5,000. The target number of
