legislative mandate to educate and
disseminate information about cancer
prevention, detection, diagnosis, and
treatment to a wide variety of audiences
and organizations, it is beneficial for
NCI through its Office of
Communications and Education (OCE),
to pretest NCI communications
strategies, concepts, and messages while
they are under development. This
pretesting, or formative evaluation,
helps ensure that the messages,
communication materials, and
information services created by NCI
have the greatest capacity of being
received, understood, and accepted by
their target audiences. Since NCI’s OCE
also is responsible for the design,
implementation, and evaluation of
education programs over the entire
cancer continuum, and management of
NCI initiatives that address specific
challenges in cancer research and
treatment, it is also necessary to ensure
that customers are satisfied with
programs. This customer satisfaction
research helps ensure the relevance,
utility, and appropriateness of the many
educational programs and products that
OCE and NCI produce. OCE will use a
variety of qualitative (focus groups,
interviews) and quantitative (paper,
phone, in-person, and web surveys)
methodologies to conduct this 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,
appropriateness, and impact for/to
target audiences; and (3) expend limited
program resource dollars wisely and
effectively. The participants may
include, but are not limited to, cancer
patients, 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 profit; not-forprofit institutions; and Federal
Government; State, 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 burden hours are
6,600.
