Independence Act, and will contribute
importantly to understanding the effects
of IDA project participation on project
participants. The evaluation was
launched in fall 2011 in two sites, with
the random assignment of AFI-eligible
cases to program and control groups.
OMB approved three data collection
efforts related to this project in October
2012, including approval of a baseline
survey, 12-month follow-up survey, and
implementation study protocols.
This Federal Register Notice provides
the opportunity to comment on a
proposed new information collection
activity: The AFI Evaluation second
follow-up survey (at 36 months postrandom assignment) of both treatment
and control group members. The
content of this survey is the same as the
content approved for the 12-month
follow-up. The purpose of the AFI
Evaluation 36-month follow-up survey
is to follow-up with study participants
to document their intermediate savings
and savings patterns, asset purchases,
and other economic outcomes. The
evaluation consists of both an impact
study and an implementation study.
Data collection activities will span a
three-year period. Data collection
activities to submit in a future
information collection request include a
third follow-up survey for AFI
Evaluation study participants
approximately 60 months after study
enrollment.
Respondents: Individuals enrolled in
AFI programs, individuals who have left
AFI programs, and control group
members.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Information Collection Request Title:
Providing Primary Care and Preventive
Medical Services in Ryan WhiteFunded Medical Care Settings, OMB
No. 0915–xxxx—New
Abstract: Since 1990, the Ryan White
HIV/AIDS Program (Ryan White
Program) has funded the provision of
HIV care to eligible persons living with
HIV (PLWH). With the advent of
effective antiretroviral treatment, PLWH
are living longer and normal lives. With
this shift, PLWH are beginning to
experience typical health issues that
come with aging. Ryan White Programfunded clinics are seeing their patients
develop other common preventable
chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart
disease, and hypertension. In addition,
clinicians need to address non-primary
care issues such mental health and
substance abuse issues that are
prevalent to PLWH and interferes with
managing and treating HIV and other
conditions. By shifting HIV care into a
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

broader system of primary care,
including preventative care, clinics can
offer a more holistic approach to further
improving the lives of PLWH.
However, with limited resources,
these Ryan White-funded clinics may
struggle to provide primary and
preventative care services in-house or
have insufficient referral systems. This
study will examine how Ryan Whitefunded clinics are integrating the
provision of primary and preventative
care services to the overall HIV care
model. Specifically, it will look at the
protocols and strategies used by clinics
to manage care for PLWH, specifically
care coordination, referral systems, and
patient-centered strategies to keep
PLWH in care.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The proposed study will
provide the HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau
and policymakers with a better
understanding of how the Ryan White
Program currently provides primary and
preventative care to PLWH. The first
online survey will be targeted to clinic
directors from a sample of about 160
Ryan White-funded clinics and will
collect data on care models used;
primary care services, including
preventive services; and coordination of
care. Data collected from this survey
will provide the HIV/AIDS Bureau with
a general overview of the various HIV
care models used as well as insight to
possible facilitators and barriers to
providing primary and preventative care
services. More in-depth data collection
will be conducted with a smaller
number of 30 clinics representing clinic
type (publicly funded community
health organization, other communitybased organization, health department,
and hospital or university-based) and
size. There will be three data collection
instruments used: (1) an online survey
completed by three clinicians at each of
the clinics, (2) a data extraction of select
primary and preventative care services,
and (3) a telephone interview with the
medical director. The clinician survey
will provide a more in-depth look at the
clinic protocols and strategies and how
they are being used and implemented by
the clinicians. The data extraction will
provide quantitative information on the
provision of select primary and
preventative care services within a
certain time period. With these data, the
study team can assess the accuracy of
information provided in the online
surveys on the provision of care. Lastly,
the interviews with the medical director
will allow the study team to follow-up
on the results of the survey and data
extraction and collect qualitative data
and more in-depth details on the
provision of primary and preventative
