Proposed Project: Evaluation of the Parents Speak Up National Campaign (PSUNC): Parent Web site Survey. OMB No. 0990-NEW—Office of Public Health and Science, Office of Population Affairs, Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Programs.

Abstract: The data collection will take place once, over two months, in the Fall 2009. The respondents will be 800 parents of children ages 10-14 drawn from an established online survey panel whose parental status and age of children are known. The survey will take 30 minutes, including time spent visiting a Web site. Parents will self-administer the questionnaire at home on personal computers. The specific aim of this study is to determine the usefulness of the content and Web site features of the 4parents.gov Web site by measuring parents' attitudes to, reactions to, and receptivity to the Web site and to specific sections of it. The study is being conducted by Research Triangle Institute; its subcontractor, Harris Interactive, will conduct the online survey. Harris Interactive will select 100 mothers of each of four groups of children: boys 10-12 and 13-14, and girls 10-12 and 13-14 (for a total of 400 mothers), and 100 fathers of the same four groups of children (for a total of 400 fathers).
