the STS campaign will be used to assess
the understanding and reach of STS
campaign materials and messages, and
to monitor and improve campaign
activities such as training workshops
and overall implementation. The
purpose of this information collection is
to monitor and modify campaign
activities, to plan future campaign
activities, to develop messages and
materials, and to develop distribution
and outreach strategies that are effective
at communicating their message to bring
about the intended response, awareness,
and/or behavioral change for the target
audiences. This generic clearance will
enable the NICHD to: (1) More
efficiently assess the implementation of
campaign activities; (2) better
understand the target audiences’
knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs toward
STS messages and materials; (3) better
understand how the campaign activities
have influenced the target audiences’
behaviors and practices; and (4) monitor
and improve activities such as trainings,
and material/message development.
Having a way to gather feedback on the
STS campaign activities is critical to
assessing the reach and effect of
campaign efforts. Data collected for the
campaign can inform where future STS
campaign resources can produce the
most meaningful results.
Data collected for the STS campaign
generic clearance will be used by a
number of audiences, including STS
campaign staff, NICHD leadership, STS
campaign collaborators, Federal Sudden
and Unexpected Infant Deaths (SUID)/
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
Workgroup members, SUID/SIDS
stakeholders, clinical and maternal/
child health professionals, parents and
caretakers, and the general public.
These audiences may use the
information collections to: (1) Develop
new campaign messages, materials, and/
or training curricula; (2) monitor and
improve campaign activities; (3) make
decisions about campaign activities; (4)
inform current campaign activities; and
(5) inform and/or change practices and
behaviors of program participants.
Examples of the types of information
collections that could be included under
this generic clearance include: Focus
groups and in-depth interviews with
parents/caregivers and/or health
professionals to get feedback on
distribution and outreach activities,
and/or campaign messages; and Surveys
with parents/caregivers and/or health
professionals to: (1) assess the
usefulness of the new STS campaign
materials, including print and on-line
materials and a video, (2) track outreach
experiences of program participants, (3)
assess training participants’ changes in
