Proposed Project: Feasibility Study To Evaluate the Positive
Activities Campaign (PAC) (OMB No. 0930-0188 Revision)
The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention is conducting a
feasibility study of the Positive Activities Campaign (PAC), an
initiative aimed at the general public to encourage adults to become
more involved in positive, skill-building activities with youth. The
ultimate goal of the initiative is to reduce substance abuse among
young people.
To determine the likely effectiveness of the campaign, CSAP's
feasibility study consists of a process evaluation and an outcomes
evaluation. The evaluation is assessing change in communities exposed
to PAC, including change in adults' involvement with youth. Two
treatment and two comparison communities have been selected for study.
Data for the process evaluation are primarily from on-site interviews
with key personnel in local youth-serving organizations (e.g, Boy
Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs); data for the outcomes evaluation are
from baseline and 6-month followup telephone surveys of adults.
This revision to the currently approved information collection
activities involves: (1) a third, 12-month followup telephone interview
with the random sample of adults; and (2) because PAC is being expanded
to serve civic membership organizations (e.g., Rotary Clubs, Lions
Clubs, Kiwanis) application of the process evaluation activities with
these groups, plus three telephone interviews with random samples of
members of the civic organizations.
The table that follows shows the total response burden associated
with this project. All of the currently approved burden will have been
experienced by the time of OMB approval of the revision.
