All communications about the evaluation results via these uses of the information, including any and all Congressional testimony, will carefully enumerate and describe any underlying limitations of the data and ensure that evaluation results are interpreted with appropriate care and caution. CDC acknowledges that study design limitations decrease their capacity to draw nationally representative conclusions about either smoking-related knowledge and behavior or the impact of the campaign on long-term quit rates in sub-populations. Also, per prior terms of clearance, approval of any future tobacco-related campaign evaluations (including future revisions of this package) will require a coordinated approach among federal partners (including CDC, FDA, NIH, and SAMHSA) on outcome measures and questionnaire items. Future data collection requests related to tobacco will include a section in supporting statement Part A describing this collaboration and what steps have been made to harmonize data elements and outcome measures as well as a description of steps taken to eliminate duplication of effort across the federal government in the area of tobacco information collection. Areas where there may be significant overlap include, but are not limited to, cessation behavior, perceptions of health risk, health status, etc.
