Proposed Collection: Audience Feedback to Inform Ongoing Messaging and Strategies for “Combat COVID,” OMB #0925-0769, exp., date 12/31/2021, EXTENSION National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The purpose of the information collection is to collect routine feedback from the Combat COVID Initiative's two target audiences (the general public and healthcare providers) to identify evolving needs and better disseminate relevant information as it relates to COVID-19 treatment and Accelerating COVID-19 Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines (ACTIV) clinical trial resources, specifically. Data collected will be used to inform the development and broad dissemination of Combat COVID resources, including new or enhanced message and material concepts ( e.g., social media ads, digital display ads, out-of-home ads), and/or web pages ( combatcovid.hhs.gov ). Because the COVID-19 treatment landscape continues to evolve, new evidence-based information continues to come to the forefront, and audience needs continue to change, it is critical for the Federal COVID Response (FCR) Team to collect quick audience feedback from the general public (especially from groups who have not historically been well-represented in clinical trials) and healthcare providers to identify these evolving needs. By understanding target audience needs, the FCR team will be able to properly develop and broadly disseminate relevant COVID-19 treatment and ACTIV clinical trial resources. A change request was recently submitted to update the recall stimuli (still images, audio, and video or animated images) for questions about exposure to the Combat COVID message and materials. It also removed questions that are no longer relevant and replaced them with more relevant questions about the latest COVID-19 treatment options and clinical trials.
OMB approval is requested for 1 year. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 3,528.
