The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requests Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to conduct in-person and Web-based surveys of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) young adults 18 to 24 years old in the United States, as the Research and Evaluation Survey for the Public Education Campaign on Tobacco among LGBT (RESPECT). These surveys will be fielded for purposes of evaluating FDAâs [LGBT Campaign] public education campaign for LGBT young adults. The primary outcome evaluation will consist of a baseline survey and cross-sectional surveys at six-month intervals following the campaign launch in campaign and control cities. In addition, the cross-sectional surveys will include an embedded longitudinal cohort. Data from this evaluation will be used to gauge campaign awareness and examine the statistical relationships between exposure to the campaign and changes in outcome variables of interest.
The Food and Drug Administration is submitting this nonmaterial/non-substantive change request to add a Follow-up 4 to our data collection schedule and refine the data collection documents for Follow-up 4. Follow-Up 4 is scheduled for May through July 2018. During this follow-up data collection effort, we will continue to re-contact participants and recruit new respondents to offset attrition. OMB previously concurred with the submission of this change request. The addition of Follow up 4 increases respondents by 2,701 and burden hours by 838. Also, 3,153 responses and 2,103 hours that were misallocated in ROCIS during the original submission have been reallocated to the correct IC, resulting in a total change due to agency adjustment of 5,854 annualized responses and 2,941 burden hours..
