SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Cross-Agency Assessment of 
Campaigns to Reduce Negative Perceptions about Mental Health; OMB 
Control Number 0720-XXXX.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to conduct an online study testing the potential for influence of 
Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and 
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) mental health public 
awareness campaigns on participants of an online panel. Military 
service members, veterans, and friends and family members of service 
members and veterans will be recruited from the panel. They will 
complete online surveys and view mental health public awareness 
campaign materials (e.g. public service announcements websites). The 
purpose of this research is to evaluate how exposure to these 
federally-funded mental health public awareness campaigns change key 
outcomes related to mental health and health care, such as mental 
health awareness (e.g., knowing how to recognize and support someone 
with a mental health problem), perceptions and beliefs about stigma and 
other barriers to care (e.g., social distance, concerns about career 
impacts), attitudes towards seeking professional help, intentions to 
seek treatment if needed, and intentions to conceal a mental health 
problem. This study is part of larger evaluation study of DoD, VA, and 
HHS mental health public awareness campaigns. DoD, VA, and HHS will use 
the findings from these analyses to improve their mental health public 
awareness campaigns. Additionally, the findings from the study will be 
shared through publicly available communications.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 877.338.
    Number of Respondents: 2,772.
    Responses per Respondent: 3.
    Annual Responses: 8,316.
