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 extension request to add a Follow-up 6 to our data collection schedule and refine the data collection documents for Follow-up 6. Follow-Up 6 is scheduled for May 2019 through August 2019. During this follow-up data collection effort, we will continue to re-contact participants and recruit new respondents to offset attrition. The media tracking ICs were removed because they were not needed for the information collection. This led to a decrease in 2,169 responses and 471 hours. The addition of Follow-up 6 increases respondents by 3,913 and burden hours by 1,180.
