T ITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION:

Media-Smart Youth^® Teen Leaders Program: Final Program Satisfaction Survey for Teen Leaders

PURPOSE:

Media-Smart Youth: Eat, Think, and Be Active!^® is an interactive program designed to teach youth about how media can affect their health. Developed by the NIH’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the program includes 10 lessons on media analysis, nutrition, and physical activity, plus a final capstone project.

The Media-Smart Youth^® Teen Leaders Program, newly launched in 2014, is designed for teens/young adults who are interested in bringing the Media-Smart Youth program to their community. As part of the program, Teen Leaders recruit youth participants, teach the 10 lessons, and lead the final project. The Media-Smart Youth program provides teens with leadership experience, community service hours, and recognition from the NICHD. To help them succeed, the NICHD provides training, ongoing assistance, and $1,000 for program expenses.

The NICHD issued a call for applications for the Teen Leaders Program on September 15, 2014, and has since made 59 awards to sites across the country.

We are proposing to administer two customer satisfaction surveys with the Teen Leaders of the program—a midpoint survey and a final survey. The final survey will be administered when all 10 lessons have been completed. The purpose of the final survey is to assess Teen Leader satisfaction at the end of the program and to determine whether the NICHD needs to provide additional support to help future Teen Leaders succeed.

DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS:

The respondents for the final survey will be Teen Leaders in the Media-Smart Youth Teen Leaders Program. Each participating site may have one or more Teen Leader; however, one Teen Leader from each site will be asked to respond to the survey, for a total of 59 respondents. Teen Leaders vary in age from 15 to 20 years old. They have familiarity with the Media-Smart Youth program and a demonstrated interest in public health outreach efforts.
