DATE OF REQUEST: _June 4, 2012
SUB AGENCY (I/C): ___NCCAM____________
TITLE: ___NCCAM Information Products In-Person Focus Groups
GENERIC CLEARANCE UNDER OMB# _0925-0530___ EXP. DATE: _1/31/2014_____
NCCAM has developed a
collection of over 100 online fact sheets/publications communicating
content on a variety of complementary health practices and
conditions for which complementary approaches may be used, or have
been studied. The format for our standard family of online products
was established several years ago and has provided a way to
consistently deliver our messages. However, the ever-evolving
informational needs of consumers, the changing channels through
which consumers receive health information—web, social media,
and mobile devices, and changes in the focus of NCCAM’s
research portfolio, have led to a need to determine if the language
used, scientific messages communicated, and the depth and format of
the content in our information products meet the needs of the
audience.
We
will recruit up to 30 respondents for three, 2-hour, in-person focus
groups of 8-10 people each with an incentive of $50/person. These
focus groups will help us assess terminology, credibility, messages,
and utility of our information products. Using respondents’
feedback, we will alter our online materials to better respond to
the information needs of consumers. Findings will be used by NCCAM
for program planning purposes and may be published or otherwise
shared externally.
