CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management
A Comprehensive Evaluation of a
Paid Social Media and Mass Media
Gynecologic Cancer Campaign—New—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
As authorized by The Gynecologic
Cancer Education and Awareness Act,
CDC currently manages the ‘‘Inside
Knowledge: Get the Facts About
Gynecologic Cancer’’ media campaign.
The campaign seeks to increase
women’s intentions to seek medical
attention for symptoms that could be
indicative of gynecologic cancer.
CDC plans to conduct an evaluation of
the Inside Knowledge (IK) campaign by
collecting information from the target
audience of women ages 40–65 in four
cities (Milwaukee, Wisconsin;
Cincinnati, Ohio; Las Vegas, Nevada
and San Antonio, Texas). In two of the
cities (Milwaukee and San Antonio), the
national IK campaign will be augmented
by an additional paid media campaign.
Evaluation information will be collected
at two time points in each city (a precampaign survey plus one additional
post-campaign survey after the media
intervention). Separate cross-sectional
samples of new respondents will
participate at each point in time. This
will allow CDC to assess exposure to
campaign messages as a function of
media ‘‘dose’’ and to assess whether
women who reside in cities with
additional paid media 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. CDC initially
considered a more complex evaluation
strategy that involved four waves of data
collection in each city coinciding with
the release of various combinations of
digital media and traditional media. The
current campaign evaluation strategy is
based on a simplified design that allows
CDC to assess main campaign effects
with a smaller number of respondents.
Respondents will be recruited from a
national opt-in online survey panel that
prescreens participants and increases
the likelihood that they meet eligibility
criteria and live within the cities where
the media campaigns are implemented.
The total number of respondents in each
study location is approximately 606
(303 respondents who participate in the
pre-campaign information collection,
and 303 respondents who participate in
the post-campaign information
collection). The target number of
completed responses for the overall
campaign evaluation study is 2,424. The
estimated number of incomplete
responses (individuals who drop out
during or after completion of the
Screening Section of the survey) is 606.
Potential respondents will receive an
email invitation that describes the study
and provides a link to the survey Web
site. Information will then 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.
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. The total estimated burden hours
are 838.

Environmental Health Specialists
Network (EHS-NET) Program (OMB No.
0920–0792, expires 2/28/2015)—
Revision—National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC is requesting OMB approval
for three additional years to use this
generic clearance for a research program
focused on identifying the
environmental causes of foodborne
illness.
To date, EHS-Net has conducted four
studies under this generic clearance.
The first study collected data on
improper cooling of hot foods, a food
handling practice associated with
foodborne illness and outbreaks. The
second study collected data on the
relationship between kitchen manager
food safety certification and foodborne
illness risk factors in restaurants. Public
health agencies are increasingly
encouraging or requiring certification as
a foodborne illness prevention measure,
yet little is known about its
effectiveness. The third study collected
data on the environmental factors
associated with contamination of the
retail deli environment with Listeria, a
foodborne illness pathogen ranked 3rd
in terms of the number of deaths it
causes. The fourth study collected data
on restaurant managers’ and workers’
food allergen knowledge, attitudes, and
practices. Food allergens are an
important food safety issue for
restaurants.
The data from the first two studies
have been disseminated to
environmental public health/food safety
regulatory programs and the food
industry in the form of presentations at
conferences and meetings, scientific
journal publications, and Web site
postings. We will continue to analyze
and present the data from all four
studies, and expect that they will
continue to provide valuable and useful
data about environmental factors

associated with foodborne illness
outbreaks and food safety issues.
This revision will provide OMB
clearance for EHS-Net data collections
conducted in 2015 through 2018
(approximately one per year). The
program is revising the generic
information collection request (ICR) in
the following ways:
(1) Because of the re-announcement
and re-competition of the EHS-Net
cooperative agreement in 2015, it is
likely that the sites in which data will
be collected will differ from the sites in
which data were collected previously.
(2) We revised the estimated study
sample size and burden downward.
Thus, the estimated burden has been
reduced.
(3) We have eliminated proposed
sample weighting analyses.
Reducing foodborne illness first
requires identification and
understanding of the environmental
factors that cause these illnesses. We
need to know how and why food
becomes contaminated with foodborne
illness pathogens. This information can
then be used to determine effective food
safety prevention methods. Ultimately,
these actions can lead to increased
regulatory program effectiveness and
decreased foodborne illness. The
purpose of this food safety research
program is to identify and understand
environmental factors associated with
foodborne illness and outbreaks. This
program is conducted by the
Environmental Health Specialists
Network (EHS-Net), a collaborative
project of CDC, FDA, USDA, and local
and state sites.
Environmental factors associated with
foodborne illness include both food
safety practices (e.g., inadequate
cleaning practices) and the factors in the
environment associated with those
practices (e.g., worker and retail food
establishment characteristics). To
understand these factors, we need to
continue to collect data from those who
prepare food (i.e., food workers) and on
the environments in which the food is
prepared (i.e., retail food establishment
kitchens). Thus, data collection methods
for this generic package include: (1)
Manager and worker interviews/
surveys, and (2) observation of kitchen
environments. Both methods allow data
collection on food safety practices and
environmental factors associated with
those practices.
For each data collection, we will
collect data in approximately 47 retail
food establishments per site. Thus, there
will be approximately 376
establishments per data collection (an
estimated 8 sites × 47 establishments).
We expect a manager/establishment
