This Information Collection Request (ICR) is a revision of previously approved OMB# 0920-0816. This is a three year study and includes a revision to the study name from, "Youth Advice and Feedback to Inform Choose Respect Implementation" to, "Youth Knowledge, Attitudes, and Feedback to Inform Choose Respect Implementation". The proposed participants are youth, ages 1l to 18, specifically youth living in high-risk, inner-city communities (YHRICC). This research will be conducted because CDC's Division of Violence Prevention is developing an initiative to promote respectful, nonviolent dating relationships for 11- to 14-year-old YHRICC--a group that may be at an increased risk of teen dating violence (TDV) due to concentrated poverty, lack of resources, and exposure to community violence (2010a). In addition, few, if any, TDV prevention programs exist for this audience. As part of the initiative, CDC plans to engage 15- to 18-year-olds who have significant influence on their younger peers (CDC, 2010b), to help reinforce messages about healthy dating relationships. This is why 15- to 18-year-olds will also participate in the proposed information collections.
