Consistent with
the Supporting Statements, the methods for recruiting participants
for this study limit CDC’s ability to make inferences about broader
populations, and as such, OMB approves this collection consistent
with the understanding that CDC will only be conducting formative
research that will not be used as influential information to
support agency policies or decisions. Approval for collection
through social media sampling is provided specifically for the
purposes of capturing diverse experiences from a hard to reach
population and informing more robust future studies. When
communicating findings from this collection, all publications will
clearly describe the scope and limitations of the methods and
findings. Approval is provided contingent upon a commitment to work
with the National Center for Health Statistics to minimize
duplication of effort and to align efforts within CDC; should
modifications to the methodology, data quality, or instruments be
necessary, CDC will consult with both NCHS and OMB in advance of
submission. CDC commits to peer review on all publications,
abstracts, poster presentations, and manuscripts based upon this
research and will share final copies of each publication with OMB.
CDC further commits to submitting a data quality report to OMB
summarizing the results of its feasibility research within 18
months of approval. The report will receive review and comment from
NCHS and should include but is not limited to a discussion of break
offs, missing items, benchmarking to NCHS or other high quality
statistics where applicable, and fraudulent responses.

The purpose of this study is to assess
the feasibility of conducting survey-based cancer prevention and
control research using social media and web platforms for study
recruitment. Surveys will evaluate cancer screening and access to
medical care in the general population, general health and
well-being post-treatment among cancer survivors, and genetic risk
communication patterns among those at high risk for cancer. Results
will be compared to data collected from proportional samples to
assess sampling bias.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
