enrollments, finances, faculty salaries,
technology transfer activities, and
institutional rankings over a 40-year
period, 1970–2011. 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. The total
estimated annual burden hours are
1,800.

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 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.

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.
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.
