Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance

Proposed Project
Use of Smartphones to Collect
Information about Health Behaviors:
Feasibility Study—New—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Despite the high level of public
knowledge about the adverse effects of
smoking, tobacco use remains the
leading preventable cause of disease and
death in the U.S., resulting in
approximately 443,000 deaths annually.
During 2005–2010, the overall
proportion of U.S. adults who were
current smokers declined from 20.9% to
19.3%. Despite this decrease, smoking
rates are still well above Healthy People
2020 targets for reducing adult smoking
prevalence to 12%, and the decline in
prevalence was not uniform across the
population. Timely information on
tobacco usage is needed for the design,
implementation, and evaluation of
public health programs.
New mobile communications
technologies provide a unique
opportunity for innovation in public
health surveillance. Text messaging and
smartphone Web access are immediate,
accessible, and anonymous, a
combination of features that could make
smartphones ideal for the ongoing
research, surveillance, and evaluation of
risk behaviors and health conditions, as
well as targeted dissemination of
information.
CDC proposes to conduct a feasibility
study to evaluate the process of
conducting Web surveys by smartphone

and text message surveys by feature
phone (cell phones that do not have
Web access), the outcomes of the
surveys, and the value of the surveys.
The universe for this study is Englishspeaking U.S. residents aged 18–65. The
sample frame will consist of a national
random digit dial sample of telephone
numbers from a frame of known cell
phone exchanges. Respondents reached
on their cell phones will be asked to
complete an initial CATI survey
consisting of a short series of simple
demographic questions, general health
questions, and questions about tobacco
and alcohol use. At the conclusion of
this brief survey, respondents who have
smartphones will be asked to participate
in the feasibility study, which consists
of a first follow-up survey and, a week
later, a second follow-up survey. Those
who agree will receive invitations to
participate by text message, which will
include a link to the survey. A sample
of respondents who have feature phones
will be asked to participate in a text
message pilot, which also consists of a
first follow-up survey and a second
follow-up survey. Text message
respondents will receive a text message
inviting them to participate;
respondents who opt in will receive text
messages with one survey question at a
time. Before initiating the feasibility
study, CDC will conduct a brief pre-test
of information collection forms and
procedures.
This study will evaluate: (1) Response
bias of a smartphone health survey by
comparing data collected via CATI to
data collected via smartphones/text
messages, and data collected via
smartphones to data collected via text
messages, (2) relative cost-effectiveness
of data collected via CATI to data
collected via smartphones/text
messages; (3) coverage bias associated
with restricting the sample to
smartphone users; and (4) the utility of
smartphones for completing frequent,
short interviews (e.g., diary studies to
track activities or events).
OMB approval is requested for one
year. Participation is voluntary. There
are no costs to respondents other than
their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 306.
