Proposed Project Extended Evaluation of the National Tobacco Prevention and Control Public Education Campaign--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description In 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched the first federally funded, national mass media campaign to educate consumers about the adverse health consequences of tobacco use (the National Tobacco Prevention and Control Public Education Campaign, or ``The Campaign''). The Campaign continued in 2013 and 2014 with advertisements known as ``Tips From Former Smokers.'' Activities for Phase 3 of the campaign are ongoing. To assess the impact of The Campaign in Phases 1-3, CDC obtained OMB approval to conduct a series of longitudinal surveys for smokers and nonsmokers (OMB No. 0920-0923, exp. 3/31/2017). New media activities for Phase 4 of The Campaign launched in March 2015. To support evaluation of Phase 4 of The Campaign, CDC plans to field 4 new waves of information collection. The surveys will be fielded in English and Spanish and will occur during late 2015 and throughout 2016. Once enrolled in the first wave of data collection, all participants will be re-contacted for follow-up. The sample for the data collection will originate from two sources: (1) An online longitudinal cohort of smokers and nonsmokers, sampled randomly from postal mailing addresses in the United States (address- based sample, or ABS); and (2) the existing GfK KnowledgePanel, an established long-term online panel of U.S. adults. The ABS-sourced longitudinal cohort will consist of smokers and nonsmokers who have not previously participated in any established online panels to reduce potential panel conditioning bias from previous participation. The new cohort will be recruited by GfK, utilizing similar recruitment methods that are used in the recruitment of KnowledgePanel. The GfK KnowledgePanel will be used in combination with the new ABS-sourced cohort to support larger sample sizes that will allow for more in-depth subgroup analysis, which is a key objective for CDC. All online surveys, regardless of sample source, will be conducted via the GfK KnowledgePanel Web portal for self-administered surveys. Information will be collected through Web surveys to be self- administered on computers in the respondent's home or in another convenient location. Information will be collected about smokers' and nonsmokers' awareness of and exposure to specific campaign advertisements; knowledge, attitudes, beliefs related to smoking and secondhand smoke; and other marketing exposure. The surveys will also measure behaviors related to smoking cessation (among the smokers in the sample) and behaviors related to nonsmokers' encouragement of smokers to quit smoking, recommendations of cessation services, and attitudes about other tobacco and nicotine products. It is important to evaluate The Campaign in a context that assesses the dynamic nature of tobacco product marketing and uptake of various tobacco products, particularly since these may affect successful cessation rates. Survey instruments may be updated to include new or revised items on relevant topics, including cigars, noncombustible tobacco products, and other emerging trends in tobacco use. Participation is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 15,584.
