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 also 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) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information. 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 utilize 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 to be able to respond to a collection of information, to 
search data sources, to complete and review the collection of 
information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

Proposed Project

    Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices related to a Domestic Readiness 
Initiative on Zika Virus Disease--New--Office of the Associate Director 
of Communications (OADC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Since late 2015, Zika has rapidly spread through Puerto Rico. As of 
July 2016, there have been 7,286 confirmed cases of Zika in Puerto 
Rico, with 788 cases among pregnant women and 23 cases of Guillain-
Barr[eacute] caused by Zika. In the continental United States, there 
have been 1,658 travel-associated cases of Zika. And as of August 2, 
2016, there have been 14 locally-acquired Zika cases in Miami, Florida. 
Due to the urgent nature of this public health emergency, CDC is 
implementing a Zika prevention communication and education initiative 
in the continental United States and Puerto Rico.
    The CDC requests approval from the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) to conduct an assessment of a domestic U.S. and Puerto Rico-based 
communication and education initiative aimed at encouraging at-risk 
populations to prepare and protect themselves and their families from 
Zika virus infection. As part of the mission of CDC's Domestic 
Readiness Initiative on the Zika Virus Disease, CDC will assess the 
following communication and education objectives: (1) Determine the 
reach and saturation of the initiative's messages in Puerto Rico and 20 
U.S. states and Washington, DC; (2) measure the extent to which 
messages were communicated clearly across multiple channels to advance 
knowledge and counter misinformation; and (3) monitor individual and 
community-level awareness, attitudes and intention to follow 
recommended behaviors.
    CDC seeks to collect data over the next six months related to Zika 
prevention efforts that have been and will be implemented in Puerto 
Rico and the domestic U.S. Specifically, CDC needs this assessment to 
ensure that Zika prevention campaigns effectively reach target 
audiences to educate individuals regarding Zika prevention behaviors. 
On-going evaluation is an important part of this program because it can 
inform awareness of campaign activities, how people perceive Zika as a 
health risk, and assess their uptake of recommended health behaviors 
after the campaign has been implemented.
    These interviews can help articulate motivations for and against 
engaging in Zika prevention behaviors that are critical for preventing 
Zika-associated birth defects and morbidities. Implementing changes 
based on results from this assessment is expected to facilitate program 
improvement and ensure the most efficient allocation of resources for 
this public health emergency.
    The goal of this project is to determine knowledge, attitudes, and 
practices related to a new Domestic Readiness Initiative on Zika Virus 
Disease being launched in the United States (U.S.) mainland and Puerto 
Rico.
    Findings will be used to improve planning, implementation, 
refinements, and demonstrate outcomes of a Zika Domestic Readiness 
Initiative communication and education effort. The plan is to conduct 
up to 3,600 interviews in the domestic U.S. (1,200 immediately 
following OMB approval, and again at three months and 12 months post-
launch) and 3,600 in Puerto Rico at similar timepoints.
    As each phase of data is collected, researchers will analyze the 
data, and generate a report for leaders of the response to offer 
insights on the delivery of the communication campaign. The information 
will be used to make recommendations for improving communication and 
education regarding the prevention and spread of the Zika virus. 
Information may also be used to develop presentations, reports, and 
manuscripts to document the communication effort and lessons learned in 
order to inform future similar communication efforts.
    This information collection will allow CDC to assess core 
components of its Zika response in communicating prevention behaviors 
and risk messages to the public about vector control services.
    The following factors will be assessed:
     Knowledge about Zika virus and related prevention 
behaviors;
     Self-efficacy in engaging in Zika prevention behaviors;
     Engagement in Zika prevention behaviors (e.g., protective 
clothing use, condom use, and standing water removal);
     Risk perceptions of Zika.
    CDC will conduct telephone interviews with a mix of closed-ended 
and open-ended questions with individuals domestically in the U.S. and 
in Puerto Rico. We estimate 7,200 individuals will participate in the 
project over a six month period.
    Results of this project will have limited generalizability. 
However, results of this evaluation should provide information that can 
be used to enhance and revise the existing program as well as offer 
lessons learned to inform infectious disease control programs that use 
education materials. Authorizing legislation comes from Section 301 of 
the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241). There is no cost to 
respondents other than their time to participate.
