Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
CDC is requesting approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to interview 1,000 randomly
selected HIV-infected persons in the
United States who are not receiving care
to determine: (1) Their reasons for not
being in care; (2) information about any
barriers to receiving care; and (3)
treatment, and their clinical status (i.e.,
CD4 and HIV viral load levels). There
are approximately 1 million HIVinfected persons in the United States. Of
these, an estimated 75 percent know
they are infected, but approximately
half of those who know they are
infected do not have evidence of having
received any medical care for their HIV
infection.
For this proposed data collection,
areas participating in CDC’s Morbidity
Monitoring Project (MMP) will identify
HIV-infected people using their state’s
HIV/AIDS surveillance and
supplemental laboratory databases.
Once HIV-infected people who are not
in care are identified, an interview will
be conducted. The information to be
collected includes demographic data,
HIV testing history, high-risk drug use
and sexual behaviors, and reasons for
not using health care and treatment.
Results from this study will be used
in conjunction with data from the
Morbidity Monitoring Project to
determine the extent of medical services
and resources needed for persons who
are infected with HIV, but who have not
received medical care and treatment.
Additionally, new data related to those
not receiving care will be used to design
effective interventions for linking
persons to care.
Participation in the data collection is
voluntary and there is no cost to
respondents to participate in the survey
other than their time.

Title: Compassion Capital Fund
Evaluation—Initial Outcome Study.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: This proposed
information collection activity is for an
initial outcome study that is one
component of the evaluation of the
Compassion Capital Fund (CCF)
program. The information collection
will be through mailed surveys to be
completed by selected faith-based and
community organizations that received
sub-awards from CCF grantees. The CCF
grantees are intermediary organizations
that provide capacity building services
to faith-based and community
organizations.
The CCF evaluation is an important
opportunity to examine the outcomes
and effectiveness of the Compassion
62317
Capital Fund in meeting its objective of
improving the capacity of faith-based
and community organizations. This
initial outcome study component of the
evaluation will involve approximately
180 faith-based and community
organizations. Information will be
sought from these organizations to
assess change and improvement in
various areas of capacity resulting from
receipt of sub-awards.
Respondents: The respondents will be
selected faith-based and community
organizations that received sub-awards
in 2003 from nine selected CCF
intermediary grantees. The surveys will
be self-administered.
