Proposed Project
Message Testing for Tobacco
Communication Activities (OMB No.
0920–0910, exp. 1/31/2015)—
Revision—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2012, CDC’s Office on Smoking and
Health obtained OMB approval of a
generic clearance to support the
development and testing of tobaccorelated health messages, including
messages disseminated through
multiple phases of an ACA-funded
media campaign (Message Testing for
Tobacco Communication Activities
(MTTCA), OMB No. 0920–0910, exp. 1/
31/2015). CDC has employed the
MTTCA clearance to collect information
about adult smokers’ and nonsmokers’
attitudes and perceptions, and to pretest draft messages and materials for
clarity, salience, appeal, and
persuasiveness. Information collection
modes that are supported include indepth interviews, in-person focus
groups, online focus groups, computerassisted, in-person, or telephone
interviews, and online surveys.
Messages have been developed for
multiple media channels including
television, radio, print, and digital
formats.
CDC requests OMB approval to extend
the MTTCA clearance, with changes, for
three years. The Revision information
collection request will propose a 20%
increase in the annualized estimated
number of respondents (from 36,847 to
44,216) and a 52% increase in the
annualized estimated burden hours
(from 7,219 to 10,998). The increases
will be used for short, medium and indepth surveys which are in line with
activities proposed in the initial generic
clearance. These increases are needed to
support CDC’s planned information
collections and to accommodate
additional needs that CDC may identify
during the next three years. For
example, the MTTCA generic clearance
may be used to facilitate the
development of tobacco-related health
communications of interest for CDC’s
collaborative efforts with other federal
partners including, but not limited to,
the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), the Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), the National Institutes of
Health (NIH), and the National Cancer
Institute (NCI). At this time the revised
MTTCA clearance is expected to be
sufficient to test tobacco related
messages developed by CDC for the

general US population and
subpopulations of interest. The MTTCA
clearance should not replace the need
for additional generic clearance
mechanisms of HHS and other federal
partners that may need to test tobacco
messages related to their campaigns and
initiatives.
CDC’s revised MTTCA clearance also
describes expansion of the target

message testing, such as youth ages 13–
17 years. Media campaigns have been

an important source of information
about the different ways that States and
