    Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Evaluation of 
    National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign
    
    SUMMARY: Under the provision of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 
    Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the 
    National Institutes of Health submitted to the Office of Management and 
    Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve the information collected 
    listed below. This proposed information collection was previously 
    published in the Federal Register on November 30, 1998 on page 65795 
    and allowed 60-days for public comment. No public comments were 
    received. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days 
    for public comment. The National Institutes of Health may not conduct 
    or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an 
    information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented 
    after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control 
    number.
    
    PROPOSED COLLECTION: Title: Evaluation of National Youth Anti-Drug 
    Media Campaign. Type of Information Collection Request: New. Need and 
    Use of Information Collection: The White House Office of National Drug 
    Control Policy has transferred funds to NIDA to conduct an independent, 
    scientifically designed and implemented evaluation of the National 
    Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign, the first prevention campaign to use 
    paid advertising to discourage youth from drug use. The study will 
    assess the outcomes and impact of the national campaign in reducing 
    illegal drug use among children and adolescents.
        For this study, two different surveys will be conducted: (1) The 
    National Survey of Parents and Youth, a cross-sectional household 
    survey; and (2) a Community Longitudinal Study of Parents and Youth in 
    four communities with an ethnographic component. All data will be 
    collected using a combination of computer-assisted personal interviews 
    (CAPI) and audio computer-assisted self-interviews (ACASI). The 
    findings will form the basis of semiannual and annual reports on 
    campaign progress. These reports will provide assistance in improving 
    the national campaign, and will help to establish a rich database of 
    information about the process involved in changing attitudes and 
    behaviors by the mass media.
        Frequency of Response: The National Survey of Parents and Youth 
    will be carried out in 6 waves over a three-year period. Each data 
    collection wave will last 6 months. The Community Longitudinal Study 
    will be carried out annually over three years. Affected Public: 
    Individuals and households. Type of Respondent: Children and parents. 
    The annual reporting burden is as follows:

    \1\ Respondents are screened in year one only.
    \2\ Some number of screener respondents are later also selected for a parent interview. The exact proportion
      cannot be estimated at this time.
    \3\ This number does not include screening for the CLSPY because screening is done in year one only.
    
        There are no Capital Costs to report. There are no Operating or 
    Maintenance Costs to report. Because of the sensitivity of collecting 
    data from families in households involving children as young as 9 years 
    old, and the importance of minimizing costs for repetitive, return 
    visits to obtain respondent cooperation, NIDA is considering the 
    provision of a reasonable cost incentive to reimburse respondents for 
    their time.
        Request for Comments: Written comments and/or suggestions from the 
    public and affected agencies are invited on one or more of the 
    following points: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is 
    necessary for the proper performance of the function of the agency, 
    including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) 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) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 
    clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Ways to minimize 
    the burden of the collection of information on those who are to 
    respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, 
    mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
    of information technology.
        Direct Comments to OMB: Written comments and/or suggestions 
    regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, especially regarding 
    the estimated public burden and associated response time, should be
