Consistent with the Supporting Statements, the methods for recruiting participants for this study limit CDCâs 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).

(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 and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
