Background and Brief Description
Lung cancer is the leading cause of
cancer-related death in the U.S.
population, with only 17% of lung
cancer patients surviving 5 years or
more from the time of diagnosis. Radon
is a radioactive gas that concentrates in
homes and is well-established as the
leading cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers and the second leading cause of
lung cancer in smokers. Radon exposure
reduction is the focus of two Healthy
People 2020 objectives related to
reduction of the number of people living
in high-concentration radon homes and

the US Surgeon General. Despite these
recommendations, it is estimated that
fewer than 25% of existing U.S. homes
have been tested for radon.
There are significant gaps in
understanding the impact of radon
control efforts, especially those in the
area of policy. As of February 2013, 22
states required general disclosure of
known environmental hazards
(including radon) during home sale, 21
states had radon professional licensure
policies, and 8 states required
notification of radon risks and test
results as separate documents during a
home sale. Twenty-one states had no
radon-related policies. To date there are
no studies that assess the effect of
radon-related policies on increasing
awareness or testing of radon and
decreasing exposure to this well-known
carcinogen.
To address this gap in knowledge,
CDC proposes to conduct a new study
to understand how state and local radon
policies affect radon awareness, testing,
and mitigation. The primary focus of the
study will be on how single-family
homebuyers and real estate agents
understand and are affected by radon
policies involving home sales. This
information will allow stakeholders to
better understand the impact of various
policies intended to prevent exposure to
radon and decrease the incidence of
lung cancer in the U.S. population.
The study approach will involve
complementary qualitative and
quantitative methods whose results will
guide future research and educational
efforts. The main outcomes evaluated
will be the effect of policies related to
generic disclosure of environmental
hazards at the time of home sale,
notification specific to awareness of and
affected their decisions during the home
buying process. Responses will be
collected via mail and the internet. To
improve the quality of information
collected through the Homebuyer
Survey, a draft instrument will be
cognitively tested with up to 32
respondents before the final survey is
distributed.
The Real Estate Agent Component of
the study will involve focus groups with
full-time real estate agents who
specialize in single-family home sales
and are members of a national, state, or
an equivalent realtors association.
Respondents will be recruited through
mailed invitations to real estate offices,
phone calls, and possibly outreach at
local real estate agent meetings.
Investigators will conduct three, onehour focus groups of 6–8 agents per
state for a total of up to 96 respondents.
These recorded discussions will ask real
estate agents about their and their
clients’ understanding of radon and
lead, how/whether this understanding
affected decisions during the home
buying process, and whether
professional certification affected
decisions during the home buying
process.
Understanding how these policies
affect homebuyers and real estate agents
will allow help stakeholders better
prevent radon exposure and decrease
the incidence of lung cancer in the U.S.
population. This information will help
provide an evidence basis for CDC’s
many grantees who work to understand
the impact of policies in their states.
OMB approval is requested for two
years. Participation is voluntary and
there are no costs to respondents other
than their time.
test results for radon at the time of home
sale, and radon professional
certification. Participants’
understanding of the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) lead-based
paint disclosure law, which is present
in all states, will be assessed to
understand if general environmental
awareness differs between states.
Investigators seek to interview and
send questionnaires to participants from
four states: two states with home sale
notification policies specific to radon,
one state with only a generic disclosure
law, and one state with no
environmental disclosure policy. An
additional consideration for recruiting
these four states is to identify two states
that have radon professional
certification policies to compare to two
states that do not.
After recruiting states with the
desired mix of characteristics,
investigators will focus on identifying
counties or jurisdictions that have a
median home sales price that
approximates the median home price of
the relevant Metropolitan Statistical
Area. This will improve the ability to
apply findings to other situations.
The Homebuyer Component of the
study will involve information
collection from 3,000 individuals (750
from each state) who purchased a
single-family home in the last 12
months. Potential respondents for the
Homebuyer Survey will be identified
through review of publicly-available tax
records of home sales and recruited
through mailed invitations. The survey
will ask questions regarding
homebuyers’ knowledge about radon
and lead-based paint as well as how
home sale and professional certification
policies for radon and lead-based paint

cancer, (2) cost of mass media
advertising, (3) size of the target
audience in the city, (4) similarity in
population size and demographics, and
(5) previous Inside Knowledge
campaign activities within the city. The
two locations selected for this
evaluation study will fall within the
Nielsen 35–45 Designated Market Area
(DMA) designations. The additional
campaign advertising will include
digital media and traditional media that
will be implemented in flights,
including the following: (1) A higher
concentration in a defined time (‘‘heavy
up’’) of traditional media only, (2)
digital media only, and (3) a
combination of a ‘‘heavy up’’ along with
digital media. Each city will be nonrandomly assigned to a condition, i.e.,
the type (traditional or digital) and
sequence of additional advertisements.
Evaluation information will be collected
at four time points in each city (a
baseline survey plus up to three
additional surveys after each flight of
additional media). To reduce attrition
and eliminate time-in-sample bias that
would artificially increase measures of
campaign recognition, we will use
address-based, cross-sectional sampling
methods to randomly select respondents
for each survey. The address-based
sampling will also increase the
likelihood that respondents live within
the cities where the media campaigns
are implemented. Potential respondents
will receive an advance letter that
describes the study and provides a link
to the survey Web site. The total number
of respondents in each study location is
approximately 2,424.
Results of this evaluation study will
be used to inform CDC, policymakers,
prevention practitioners, researchers,
and the general U.S. population about
the reach and impact of the Inside
Knowledge gynecologic health
awareness campaign, and to inform the
development and implementation of
future health communication efforts.
OMB approval is requested for one
year. The same survey instrument will
be used for all information collection.
Participation is voluntary and there
are no costs to respondents other than
their time.

Background and Brief Description
In 2006, Congress passed The
Gynecologic Cancer Education and
Awareness Act (Pub. L. 111–324,
‘‘Johanna’s Law’’) authorizing CDC to
launch and evaluate a public health
information campaign regarding
gynecological cancers. The campaign,
entitled ‘‘Inside Knowledge: Get the
Facts About Gynecologic Cancer,’’ seeks
to increase women’s intentions to seek
medical attention for persistent
symptoms that could be indicative of
some of gynecological cancers, yet may
sometimes be ignored or simply
overlooked by women. The campaign is
managed by the Division of Cancer
Prevention and Control (DCPC) at the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
CDC plans to evaluate the Inside
Knowledge campaign by collecting
information from members of its target
audience: adult women (ages 40–65) in
the United States. Information will be
collected through self-administered,
Web-based surveys. Survey items will
include measures of audience recall of
the campaign; perceptions of campaign
messages; gynecologic health related
knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs;
intentions to seek care for symptoms
associated gynecologic cancers; and
sociodemographic characteristics.
Specifically, this information collection
will allow CDC to assess exposure to
campaign efforts and assess whether
women who were exposed to the
campaign have higher awareness of the
campaign, higher knowledge of
gynecological cancers, and greater
intentions to seek medical attention for
gynecologic cancer symptoms and/or to
discuss symptoms with their doctor.
The evaluation will also examine
whether women’s awareness of the
campaign differs by channel of delivery.
To conduct the evaluation, we will
augment the national Inside Knowledge
campaign with an additional paid media
campaign in two cities. Cities will be
selected based on the following criteria:
