                Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
                Review; Comment Request
                 Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
                Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information
                collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork
                Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
                documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer at (240) 276-0361.
                Project: ``Talk. They Hear You.'' Campaign Evaluation: Case Study (OMB
                No. 0930-0373)--Extension
                 The SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) is
                requesting approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
                a replicated data collection, ``Talk. They Hear You.'' Campaign
                Evaluation: Case Study (the ``case study''). This collection includes
                three instruments:
                1. Parent/Caregiver Pre-test/Post-test Survey
                2. Youth Pre-test and Post-test Survey
                3. Parent/Caregiver Interview Guide
                 The case study collection is part of a larger effort to evaluate
                the impact of the ``Talk. They Hear You.'' campaign. This evaluation
                will help determine the extent to which the campaign has been
                successful in educating parents and caregivers nationwide about
                effective methods for reducing underage drinking. The campaign is
                designed to educate and empower parents and caregivers to talk with
                their children about alcohol and other substances. To prevent
                initiation of underage drinking and substance use, the campaign targets
                parents and caregivers of children aged 9-20, with the following
                specific aims:
                 1. Increasing parents' awareness of the prevalence and risk of
                underage drinking and substance use;
                 2. Equipping parents with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to
                prevent underage drinking and substance use; and
                 3. Increasing parents' actions to prevent underage drinking and
                substance use.
                 For this evaluation, SAMHSA intends to measure knowledge and
                attitudes before and after a focused campaign outreach effort in areas
                that have not previously had significant exposure to the campaign.
                Participants in the evaluation will be recruited from a middle school
                community and will include parents/caregivers and students. School
                administrators and partnering organization(s), such as parent/caregiver
                organizations and/or local educational partner organizations, will
                assist in the dissemination of campaign materials and data collection
                efforts. There will be two sites selected for the case study--one site
                will serve as the experimental group and the other site will serve as
                the control group. The experimental group will be exposed to the
                ``Talk. They Hear You.'' messages using standard campaign materials and
                dissemination strategies, which will be coordinated through the school
                and potentially a local partner organization. The control group will
                not be intentionally exposed to the campaign materials. The case study
                will include baseline surveys of parents/caregivers and children of
                middle school age in both the experimental and control communities,
                followed by exposure to campaign materials in the experimental
                community, and post-exposure surveys of parents/caregivers and children
                in both communities. Additionally, SAMHSA will conduct 30 interviews
                with parents and caregivers following the post-exposure surveys at the
                experimental site to obtain more detailed information about the
                specific impact of the campaign.
