Proposed Collection: Health Information National Trends Survey V (HINTS V) (NCI) (OMB 0925-0538-Reinstatement with Change. National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Need and Use of Information Collection: HINTS V will provide NCI with a comprehensive assessment of the American public's current access to and use of information about cancer across the cancer care continuum from cancer prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. The content of the survey will focus on understanding the degree to which members of the general population understand vital cancer prevention messages. More importantly, this NCI survey will couple knowledge-related questions with inquiries into the communication channels through which understanding is being obtained, and assessment of cancer-related behavior.

OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 2,017.
