Proposed Project HIV Knowledge, Beliefs, Attitudes, and Practices of Providers in the Southeast (K–BAP Study)—New— National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Persons at high risk of HIV infection have often had one or more contacts with a health care provider within a year of their diagnoses. These health care encounters represent missed opportunities to: (1) Review and discuss sexual health and risk reduction, (2) screen for HIV infection and other STDs, (3) recognize and diagnose acute HIV infection and offer immediate antiretroviral therapy (ART) if indicated, (4) discuss the prevention benefit of treatment (with subsequent referral or prescription) and reengagement in care, as appropriate, and (5) provide PrEP and nPEP if not infected and at high risk, consistent with current HIV prevention guidelines and recommendations. Health care providers in highprevalence geographic areas could substantially reduce new HIV infections among the patient populations they serve, as well as their communities. Health care providers are a trusted source of reliable information. They also have the capacity to perform STD/HIV testing and to prescribe medication with appropriate clinical follow-up. Review of the literature published between January 2000 and June 2014 indicates we know little about providers’ knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and practices (K–BAP) in at-risk jurisdictions about HIV risk, HIV diagnosis and antiretroviral drug interventions in these domains, especially primary care providers serving high-risk patients in highprevalence communities. K–BAP Study is an effort to assess providers’ K–BAP using a cross sectional survey in the five priority HIV prevention domains noted above. This K–BAP Study aligns with multiple goals and objectives of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) and CDC’s ‘‘winnable battles.’’ The project’s specific objectives are to (1) Characterize knowledge, beliefs, E:\FR\FM\26JYN1.SGM 26JYN1 48799 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 143 / Tuesday, July 26, 2016 / Notices attitudes, and practices of providers in five key HIV prevention domains in high-HIV prevalence communities with disproportionate numbers of blacks/ African Americans, and (2) Educate providers about prevention interventions related to these domains based on survey-identified knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and practices of providers’ deficits. The respondent population of medical providers will be pulled from the Healthcare Data Solutions (HDS) ProviderPRO and MidLevelPRO databases. Respondents will be recruited to participate in the survey through a combination of emails and phone calls. This strategy will consist of four emails spaced one week apart followed by phone calls to nonresponders. The emails will explain the purpose of the survey, the availability of continuing education (CE) credits, and the $20 cash token of appreciation. A large two-part internet-based survey will be conducted among a representative random sample of providers in the selected six (6) metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) with the highest HIV burden among the African American population. Part one of the survey will be administered to participants at the beginning of the project. The part-one survey findings will be used to identify providers’ knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and practices that might require additional educational reinforcement. Based on survey responses, providers will be linked to continuing education (CE) credit-eligible educational modules to improve their educational deficits. The educational modules are all web-based using either video or case-based methods of learning. The length of the course ranges from 1–3 hours accounting for 0.25–1.0 credit hours. Part two of the survey will be administered six months later comprised of only the core questions in part one of the survey to assess impact of CE modules on providers’ practices regarding HIV prevention and treatment. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total annual burden hours are 1,219.

Proposed Project

    HIV Knowledge, Beliefs, Attitudes, and Practices of Providers in 
the Southeast (K-BAP Study)--New--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral 
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Persons at high risk of HIV infection have often had one or more 
contacts with a health care provider within a year of their diagnoses. 
These health care encounters represent missed opportunities to: (1) 
Review and discuss sexual health and risk reduction, (2) screen for HIV 
infection and other STDs, (3) recognize and diagnose acute HIV 
infection and offer immediate antiretroviral therapy (ART) if 
indicated, (4) discuss the prevention benefit of treatment (with 
subsequent referral or prescription) and re-engagement in care, as 
appropriate, and (5) provide PrEP and nPEP if not infected and at high 
risk, consistent with current HIV prevention guidelines and 
recommendations.
    Health care providers in high-prevalence geographic areas could 
substantially reduce new HIV infections among the patient populations 
they serve, as well as their communities. Health care providers are a 
trusted source of reliable information. They also have the capacity to 
perform STD/HIV testing and to prescribe medication with appropriate 
clinical follow-up. Review of the literature published between January 
2000 and June 2014 indicates we know little about providers' knowledge, 
beliefs, attitudes, and practices (K-BAP) in at-risk jurisdictions 
about HIV risk, HIV diagnosis and antiretroviral drug interventions in 
these domains, especially primary care providers serving high-risk 
patients in high-prevalence communities. K-BAP Study is an effort to 
assess providers' K-BAP using a cross sectional survey in the five 
priority HIV prevention domains noted above.
    This K-BAP Study aligns with multiple goals and objectives of the 
National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) and CDC's ``winnable battles.''
    The project's specific objectives are to (1) Characterize 
knowledge, beliefs,

domains in high-HIV prevalence communities with disproportionate 
numbers of blacks/African Americans, and (2) Educate providers about 
prevention interventions related to these domains based on survey-
identified knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and practices of providers' 
deficits.
    The respondent population of medical providers will be pulled from

through a combination of emails and phone calls. This strategy will 
consist of four emails spaced one week apart followed by phone calls to 
non-responders. The emails will explain the purpose of the survey, the
