collection before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Evaluate
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (c) Enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; (d)
Minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology (e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses); and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons
to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and use technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting,
validating and verifying information,
processing and maintaining
information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train
personnel and be able to respond to a
collection of information, search data

Proposed Project
Reframing How We Talk About
Alcohol: Public Perceptions of
Excessive Alcohol Use and Related
Harms—NEW—National Center on Birth
Defects and Developmental Disabilities
(NCBDD), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Excessive alcohol consumption leads
to a variety of negative health and social
consequences. Those who drink heavily
have an increased risk for certain
chronic diseases, such as hypertension,
psychological disorders, and various
forms of cancer. Excessive alcohol use
also can result in societal harms, such
as unintentional injuries, violence, and
high economic costs.
Fortunately effective prevention
strategies are available to reduce
excessive alcohol use and its related
harms. However, it is difficult to craft
public health messages and
communication strategies to change
to 300 individuals will be screened to
obtain 54 individuals who will
participate in 90-minute in-depth
interviews or triads. All data will be
collected only one time. Respondents
who will participate in these interviews
and triads will be selected purposively
to inform the development of a
messaging strategy. Topics addressed
may include alcohol and its related
harms, language used when talking
about alcohol, how people talk about
alcohol with their health care providers,
and sources of information about
alcohol.
The information gathered through this
data collection will allow CDC to
develop an effective messaging strategy
that reframes the way the public thinks
and communicates about excessive
alcohol use. Participation is voluntary,
and there is no cost to respondents other
than their time.
The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 132.
alcohol-related attitudes and behaviors
because the range of knowledge and
beliefs about excessive alcohol use and
its risks is not well understood. Despite
the fact that public health experts
recommend that alcohol screening and
brief counseling be provided to adults in
primary care settings, data indicate that
only one of six U.S. adults reported ever
discussing alcohol use with a health
professional. To develop an effective,
consistent messaging strategy, a deeper
understanding of how the public thinks
and talks about alcohol is required. The
research will be used to inform the
development of patient and provider
materials and messages about excessive
alcohol use and related harms.
The one-year study proposes a series
of individual in-depth interviews and
triads (small group discussions with
three participants) with 54 participants
identified by contractor staff and
professional recruiting firms. Data will
be collected through one-time, 90minute in-depth interviews or triads. Up
