The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing efforts to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed project entitled ``Reframing How We Talk About Alcohol: Public Perceptions of Excessive Alcohol Use Among Multiple Audiences.'' CDC will seek a one-year approval for a new information collection request to assess the public's perceptions and frames regarding alcohol use and its related harms, gain insights on the language the public uses when talking about excessive alcohol use, examine patient-provider communication about alcohol use, and evaluate the influence of other sources of information on the public's understanding of excessive alcohol use.

will seek a one-year approval for a new information collection request 
to assess the public's perceptions and frames regarding alcohol use and 
its related harms, gain insights on the language the public uses when

communication about alcohol use, and evaluate the influence of other 
sources of information on the public's understanding of excessive 
alcohol use.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA requires 
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new 
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of 
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information 
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 sources, and 
complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or 
otherwise disclose the information.

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 
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, 90-minute 
in-depth interviews or triads. Up 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.
