Proposed Project
Outcomes Data Collection of the
National Prevention Information
Network—New—National Center for
HIV, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Center for HIV, STD,
and TB Prevention (NCHSTP) within
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) proposes a survey
data collection to assess the CDC
National Prevention Information
Network’s (NPIN) Web site, products
and services. The CDC NPIN serves as
the U.S. reference, referral, and
distribution service for information on
HIV/AIDS, STDs, TB and viral Hepatitis.
Products and services offered by the
CDC NPIN Web site is the primary
channel used by the CDC to provide
information concerning prevention,
treatment, and care of HIV, STD, TB,
and viral Hepatitis to its prevention
partners, stakeholders, and other
constituents.
The CDC NPIN Web site includes
several searchable databases that can be
used to locate information about testing
centers, funding opportunities,
upcoming conferences, educational
materials, and news. The Web site is a
widely used service by the public, with
more than 24 million hits and 2 million
visits recorded annually. Following
enhancements to the Web site
completed in February 2006, 5,214,286
hits have already been recorded from
February to May 2006. In addition to the
Web site, consumers can access
information and order materials and
resources by phone using the NPIN tollfree reference and referral line or
electronic mail system. As of June 29,
2006, 82,599 organizations have ordered
materials and resources using this
system. Cumulatively, over 49,209
requests for materials have been logged
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
and 3,846,890 materials have been
ordered by the public.
The primary purposes of the proposed
data collection are to assess CDC NPIN
users’ satisfaction and perceived quality
with the Web site, products, and
services; determine the extent to which
the users’ needs are being met; and
identify how the Web site, products,
and services can be enhanced to meet
the needs of the user. Specifically, the
evaluation will examine (1) perceived
quality, (2) user expectations,
satisfaction, and trust, (3) frequency of
use, and (4) other sources of information
used related to the treatment and
prevention of HIV/AIDS, STDs, TB, and
viral Hepatitis.
The evaluation will be accomplished
by survey data collection from users of
the CDC NPIN Web site and users of
CDC NPIN products and services. The
first survey will be conducted annually
with a random sample of CDC NPIN
Web site users. Users that visit the CDC
NPIN Web site for 2 or more minutes
will be prompted to complete and
submit the survey online. The second
survey will be conducted online biannually with a random sample of users
of CDC NPIN products and services,
stratified by type of organization.
Organizations that do not have access to
the Internet will have the option to
complete the survey via electronic mail
or will be administered the survey by
phone.
Respondents include representatives
from government agencies, communitybased organizations, advocacy
organizations, and various other
organizations involved in the
prevention and/or treatment of HIV/
AIDS, STDs, TB, and/or viral Hepatitis.
An OMB Clearance determination was
conducted prior to preparing this
package.
The estimated annualized burden is
provided in the following table. To
assess the average burden per response
for the data collection, a pilot test was
conducted with no more than 9
participants for each survey. As
E:\FR\FM\27OCN1.SGM
27OCN1
63016
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 208 / Friday, October 27, 2006 / Notices
indicated in the table, the average
burden per response for the NPIN Web
site User survey is 13 minutes and for
the NPIN Products and Services User
survey, 15 minutes. This differential is
due to the difference in survey lengths.
The NPIN Web site User survey is
comprised of 25 questions and the NPIN
Products and Services User survey is
comprised of 28 questions. The ‘‘Other’’
category of respondents is comprised of
organizations that identified themselves
as ‘‘Other’’ or ‘‘Unknown’’ when
requesting products or services from
NPIN. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.

infection and AIDS and will incorporate
data elements from two data collections:
Supplement to HIV/AIDS Surveillance
(SHAS) project (0920–0262) and the
Adult/Adolescent Spectrum of HIV
Disease (ASD). Both projects stopped
data collection in 2004.
Although CDC receives surveillance
data from all U.S. States, these
supplemental surveillance data are
needed to make estimates of key
indicators, such as quality of HIVrelated ambulatory care and the severity
of need for HIV-related care and
services. A large number of cities and
States are heavily impacted by the HIV/
AIDS epidemic, resulting in the need for
population-based national estimates of
HIV-related behaviors, clinical
outcomes, and quality of HIV care.
This project will collect data on
behaviors and clinical outcomes from a
probability sample of HIV-infected
adults receiving care in the U.S.
Collection of data from interviews with
HIV-infected patients will provide
information on patient demographics,
and the current levels of behaviors that
may facilitate HIV transmission: Sexual
and drug use behaviors; patients’ access
to, use of and barriers to HIV-related
secondary prevention services;
utilization of HIV-related medical

The National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP) within

The Web site is a widely used service by the public, with more than 24
