Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
AGENCY:

The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed and/or continuing
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This notice invites comment on a
proposed information collection project
titled Using Social Media for
Recruitment in Cancer Prevention and
Control Survey-Based Research (SMFR)
project. The SMFR project aims to better
understand how individuals at high-risk
for cancer discuss risk and genetic
testing with their families, while
evaluating the feasibility of using social
media to conduct survey-based cancer
prevention and control research for
survey recruitment.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before November 19,
2018.
SUMMARY:

You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2018–
0083 by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Using Social Media for Recruitment in
Cancer Prevention and Control SurveyBased Research (SMFR) project—New—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This project involves formative
research to assess the feasibility of using
social media to conduct survey-based
cancer prevention and control research
for study recruitment. To achieve this
goal, the project will field four online
surveys for three distinct populations

using Facebook, Twitter, and Google ads
as tools for recruitment. Sampling bias
and ability to use weights, among other
statistical methods, to correct for
potential bias will be assessed at the
conclusion of the study.
This project has two aims:
Aim 1: To develop and launch
surveys with three populations of
interest to cancer prevention and
control research using social media
platforms for study recruitment. This
will consist of using Facebook, Twitter,
and Google ads to recruit participants
from three groups: The general
population (for cancer screening),
cancer survivors, and those at high risk
for cancer. Survey questions will be
taken from previously administered
national surveys, such as NHIS, HINTS,
and MEPS, in addition to questions
specially developed for this study.
Aim 2: To assess the extent of
sampling bias associated with surveys
using social media platforms as frames
for non-proportional sampling and the
ability to use weights or other statistical
methods to correct for potential biases.
Content for the social media surveys
will include questions from nationally
representative surveys (such as the
National Health Interview Survey) to
enable socio-demographic and health
history comparisons with nationally
representative populations. In addition
we will explore the ability to use poststratification weights, propensity scores,
or other statistical methods to address
issues of potential sampling bias.
The first survey will target the general
population, focusing on cancer
screening and access to care. The
second survey will target cancer
survivors and focus on general health
and well-being post-treatment. The third
and fourth surveys will target those at
high risk for cancer focusing on
communication of genetic risk among
family members and the tools and
resources needed for risk
communication.
Individuals will be recruited to
participate in the web survey through
ads posted on social media sites
including Facebook, Twitter, and
Google Analytics. Self-reported data
provided on users’ profile pages may be
applied for targeting to maximize the
value of each ad.
• Ads for the general population
survey will be targeted toward users
whose profiles indicate they are 40 or
older. Individuals will be screened for
eligibility until the target of up to 1,000
completes is met. It is expected that to
reach 1,000 eligible respondents for the
general population survey, 1,500
individuals will need to be screened.

• Ads for the survivorship survey will
be targeted toward users who ‘like’,
search, and/or visit web pages geared
toward survivors, such as the National
Cancer Survivors Day Facebook page.
Individuals will be screened for
eligibility until the target of up to 1,000
completes is met. It is expected that to
reach 1,000 eligible respondents for the
survivorship survey, 3,000 individuals
will need to be screened.

• Ads for the high-risk survey will be
targeted toward users who ‘like’, visit,
or search for terms related to cancer and
genetic testing. Individuals will be
screened for eligibility until the target of
up to 1,000 completes is met. It is
expected that to reach 1,000 eligible
respondents for the high-risk survey,
2,000 individuals will need to be
screened.
• Eligible high-risk participants will
be invited via email to participate in the

follow-up high-risk survey. Additional
social media ads may also be placed,
using the targeting methods described
above. In order to survey 1,000 high-risk
adults, it is expected that an additional
4,000 individuals will be screened.
Participation in this project is
completely voluntary and there are no
costs to the respondents other than their
time.
