Abstract: This proposed information collection supports the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) efforts to assess campaign effectiveness. The Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) is proposing to conduct a quantitative study of the effects of FDA’s The Real Cost campaign on youth in the U.S. The purpose of FDA’s The Real Cost Campaign Outcomes Evaluation Study: Cohort 3 is to evaluate whether changes in key outcomes can be attributed to campaign exposure. We intend to measure self-reported campaign exposure to media advertising, which among many things, will enable FDA to assess its relationship with market-level delivery. The study will be conducted using web-based surveys that are self-administered on personal computers or web enabled mobile devices.

Short Statement: To align with Executive Order 14168, Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government, we are revising this information collection to remove questions relating to gender. For the extension, we are proposing up to 2 additional follow-up waves of data collections, including up to 2 additional replenishment samples. Additional waves are needed for this study to evaluate the influence of future “The Real Cost” public education messages on tobacco-related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors (e.g., preventing youth from using e-cigarettes). Replenishing the sample will ensure we maintain an adequate longitudinal sample at each study wave and continue to have representation from younger respondents in our aging sample. In addition, we updated the estimated burden per response based on past data collections for the baseline and first follow-up wave. Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an overall decrease of 55,600 hours and an increase of 247,285 responses.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $2,110,158
