IDA also includes census information concerning neighborhoods surrounding colleges and universities. 160 Institutes of Higher Education (IHE) will be sampled from the IDA in order to collect information from key informants and key leaders from the surrounding community. Information gathered from these respondents will be used to: (1) Develop and revise customized marketing and program materials targeting potential campus and community stakeholders; and (2) inform strategies for the marketing plan, which aims to facilitate adoption of the Safer Campuses and Communities intervention by IHEs. The online survey will be completed by: College Administrators and staff, campus and municipal police; as well as selected community leaders. The IHEs will be contacted via email, with a maximum of 12 participants per IHE for a total of 1800 respondents. All respondent information will be maintained in a secure, electronic format accessible to a limited number of project staff. The amount of time required for a respondent to complete the survey is estimated to be 1 hour. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.

It’s Busy Being 3! in Pediatric Office Settings’’— NEW—National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Developmental disabilities have reached epidemic proportions in the U.S., with approximately 17 percent of children experiencing developmental delays. Impairment in physical, learning, language, or behavior areas can have a lifetime impact on everyday activities of life for a child and into adulthood. Research has shown that parents can be reliable sources of information about their children’s development. Several studies have found that parents’ concerns about their children’s development are generally valid and predictive of developmental delays. These studies suggest that efforts to raise parental awareness of developmental milestones can increase the likelihood that children with developmental disabilities are identified PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 600 600 600 Average burden per respondent (in hours) Number of responses per respondent 1 1 1 1 1 1 early and connected with appropriate services and support. Using a children’s picture book format, CDC developed Amazing Me: It’s Busy Being 3! to increase awareness of developmental milestones among parents of 3-year-olds and actively engage them in the monitoring of their child’s development. CDC partnered with Lysol and Reach Out and Read (ROR), a non-profit organization that promotes early literacy among lowincome families by distributing books in pediatric exam rooms, to disseminate copies of Amazing Me to parents. In spring 2012, 250 of ROR’s largest pediatric clinics each received 300 copies of Amazing Me for distribution to parents of 3-year-old children during well-child visits. Distribution of Amazing Me through ROR practices was used as a vehicle to reach those at higher risk for developmental delays and disabilities: children insured by Medicaid and children from families with low incomes. Preliminary data gathered from a web survey of ROR clinical staff indicates that clinical staff are not only receptive to but supportive of the Amazing Me book. However, the web survey of ROR clinical staff does not provide information from the book’s target audience—parents. If CDC wishes to expand book distribution beyond ROR clinical settings, it will be important to gather data on parents’ experiences receiving the Amazing Me book as part of a pediatric visit, and what kind of influence, if any, the book has had on their knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about developmental milestones. E:\FR\FM\03APN1.SGM 03APN1 20112 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 64 / Wednesday, April 3, 2013 / Notices To this end, CDC will identify and recruit 3 ROR pediatric practices and 3 non-ROR practices in the greater Atlanta, Georgia and greater Washington, DC areas to distribute copies of Amazing Me to parents/ guardians of 3-year-olds, soon to be 3year-olds, or recently turned 4-year-olds attending the selected practices. The study will gather feedback from parents/ guardians about (1) their experiences receiving the book as part of a pediatric visit, and (2) the influence of the book on their awareness, attitudes, and selfefficacy regarding monitoring developmental milestones. Data will be gathered through a web survey of 900 parents/guardians who have received a copy of the Amazing Me book from participating ROR and non-ROR practices. Parents/guardians will access the web survey by logging onto a URL address provided on a sticker affixed to the inside cover of each Amazing Me book. We estimate that we will screen 900 parents/guardians in order to recruit 900 respondents for the web survey. CDC will also conduct six follow-up focus groups with survey respondents to gather more in-depth information from parents about their experiences reading the Amazing Me book at home with their children and assessing their child’s development using the book. We estimate that we will screen 60 parents/ guardians to recruit 54 participants for the focus groups. These six focus groups will be conducted in greater Atlanta, Georgia and greater Washington, DC. Findings from the parent web survey and focus groups will help CDC to determine if a children’s book is an effective channel for reaching parents, whether more books like Amazing Me for other age groups should be developed, and if the ROR book distribution model is an effective means to reach low-income and at-risk families.

Proposed Project

``Study to Explore Distribution, Reach, and Influence of
Educational Children's Book Amazing Me. It's Busy Being 3! in Pediatric
Office Settings''--NEW--National Center on Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

Developmental disabilities have reached epidemic proportions in the
U.S., with approximately 17 percent of children experiencing
developmental delays. Impairment in physical, learning, language, or
behavior areas can have a lifetime impact on everyday activities of
life for a child and into adulthood. Research has shown that parents
can be reliable sources of information about their children's
development. Several studies have found that parents' concerns about
their children's development are generally valid and predictive of
developmental delays. These studies suggest that efforts to raise
parental awareness of developmental milestones can increase the
likelihood that children with developmental disabilities are identified
early and connected with appropriate services and support.
Using a children's picture book format, CDC developed Amazing Me:
It's Busy Being 3! to increase awareness of developmental milestones
among parents of 3-year-olds and actively engage them in the monitoring
of their child's development. CDC partnered with Lysol and Reach Out
and Read (ROR), a non-profit organization that promotes early literacy
among low-income families by distributing books in pediatric exam
rooms, to disseminate copies of Amazing Me to parents. In spring 2012,
250 of ROR's largest pediatric clinics each received 300 copies of
Amazing Me for distribution to parents of 3-year-old children during
well-child visits. Distribution of Amazing Me through ROR practices was
used as a vehicle to reach those at higher risk for developmental
delays and disabilities: children insured by Medicaid and children from
families with low incomes.
Preliminary data gathered from a web survey of ROR clinical staff
indicates that clinical staff are not only receptive to but supportive
of the Amazing Me book. However, the web survey of ROR clinical staff
does not provide information from the book's target audience--parents.
If CDC wishes to expand book distribution beyond ROR clinical settings,
it will be important to gather data on parents' experiences receiving
the Amazing Me book as part of a pediatric visit, and what kind of
influence, if any, the book has had on their knowledge, attitudes, and
beliefs about developmental milestones.

[[Page 20112]]

To this end, CDC will identify and recruit 3 ROR pediatric
practices and 3 non-ROR practices in the greater Atlanta, Georgia and
greater Washington, DC areas to distribute copies of Amazing Me to
parents/guardians of 3-year-olds, soon to be 3-year-olds, or recently
turned 4-year-olds attending the selected practices. The study will
gather feedback from parents/guardians about (1) their experiences
receiving the book as part of a pediatric visit, and (2) the influence
of the book on their awareness, attitudes, and self-efficacy regarding
monitoring developmental milestones. Data will be gathered through a
web survey of 900 parents/guardians who have received a copy of the
Amazing Me book from participating ROR and non-ROR practices. Parents/
guardians will access the web survey by logging onto a URL address
provided on a sticker affixed to the inside cover of each Amazing Me
book. We estimate that we will screen 900 parents/guardians in order to
recruit 900 respondents for the web survey.
CDC will also conduct six follow-up focus groups with survey
respondents to gather more in-depth information from parents about
their experiences reading the Amazing Me book at home with their
children and assessing their child's development using the book. We
estimate that we will screen 60 parents/guardians to recruit 54
participants for the focus groups. These six focus groups will be
conducted in greater Atlanta, Georgia and greater Washington, DC.
Findings from the parent web survey and focus groups will help CDC
to determine if a children's book is an effective channel for reaching
parents, whether more books like Amazing Me for other age groups should
be developed, and if the ROR book distribution model is an effective
means to reach low-income and at-risk families.
This request is submitted to obtain Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) clearance for two years. The estimated annualized burden hours
for this data collection activity are 139. There are no costs to the
respondents other than their time.
