prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment to a wide variety of

formative and customer satisfaction research, allowing NCI to: (1) 
Understand characteristics (attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors) of the 
intended target audience and use this information in the development of 
effective communication tools and strategies; (2) use a feedback loop 
to help refine, revise, and enhance messages, materials, products, and 
programs--ensuring that they have the greatest relevance, utility,

their families, the general public, health providers, the media, 
voluntary groups, scientific and medical organizations (affected public 
could include individuals or households; businesses or other for

Local, or Tribal Government).
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
