The Commission will contract with a survey research firm to conduct a telephone survey of 750 parents with a child aged 11 to 16. Survey questions will explore parental awareness of and involvement with their child's use or purchase of either movies, music recordings, or video or personal computer games. In addition, the survey will ask parents whether they restrict or limit their child's use or purchase of those products. The survey will further explore parents' familiarity with, use of, and evaluation of the industry's parental advisory labeling or rating systems.
