About 2025 women, recruited directly from the selected venues (e.g. health clinics, beauty salons, laundromats, etc.) and by word of mouth using a respondentdriven sampling (RDS) approach, will be asked to complete a 10-minute eligibility screening interview. We estimate that 80% of screened women will be eligible for our study. Among the estimated 1620 eligible women about 270 women are anticipated to decline participation in the study. To get a better understanding of the reasons for declining participation, those 270 women will be asked to complete a 10minute questionnaire. The remaining 1350 eligible participants (850 African American and 500 Hispanic) that are at risk for HIV infection will be enrolled. They will respond to a one-time, 45minute computerized questionnaire capturing information on demographic, psychological, behavioral, sociocultural, and environmental/contextual dimensions relevant for understanding risk for contracting HIV infection. They will also receive rapid oral HIV testing and counseling. The HIV counseling and testing will take an additional 45 minutes to complete. Each woman will receive 10-minute RDS training on how they can tell other women in their social networks about the study. A sub-sample of 40 African American and 20 Hispanic women (n = 60) will also take part in separate qualitative interviews. The onehour qualitative interview will be scheduled for a different day that is convenient for the women. The total response burden for the three-year period is estimated to be 2711.25 hours (904 annualized burden hours). There is no cost to the respondents other than their time. on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Proposed Project School Associated Violent Death Surveillance System—Extension— National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The Division of Violence Prevention (DVP), National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) proposes to maintain a system for the surveillance of school-associated homicides and suicides. The system will rely on existing public records and interviews with law enforcement officials and school officials. The purpose of the system is to (1) estimate the rate of school-associated violent death in the United States and (2) identify common features of schoolassociated violent deaths. The system will contribute to the understanding of fatal violence associated with schools, guide further research in the area, and help direct ongoing and future prevention programs. Violence is the leading cause of death among young people, and increasingly recognized as an important public health and social issue. In 1998, over 3,500 school aged children (5 to 18 years old) in the United States died violent deaths due to suicide, homicide, and unintentional firearm injuries. The vast majority of these fatal injuries were not school associated. However, whenever a homicide or suicide occurs in or around school, it becomes a matter of particularly intense public interest and concern. NCIPC conducted the first scientific study of school-associated violent deaths during the 1992–99 academic years to establish the true extent of this highly visible problem. Despite the important role of schools as a setting for violence research and prevention interventions, relatively little scientific or systematic work has been done to describe the nature and level of fatal violence associated with schools. Until NCIPC conducted the first nationwide investigation of violent deaths associated with schools, public health and education officials had to rely on limited local studies and estimated numbers to describe the extent of school-associated violent death. The system will draw cases from the entire United States in attempting to capture all cases of school-associated violent deaths that have occurred. Investigators will review public records and published press reports concerning each school-associated violent death. For each identified case, investigators will also interview an investigating law enforcement official (defined as a police officer, police chief, or district attorney), and a school official (defined as a school principal, school superintendent, school counselor, school teacher, or school support staff) who are knowledgeable about the case in question. Researchers will request information on both the victim and alleged offender(s)— including demographic data, their academic and criminal records, and their relationship to one another. They will also collect data on the time and location of the death; the circumstances, motive, and method of the fatal injury; and the security and violence prevention activities in the school and community where the death occurred, before and after the fatal injury event. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 70.

Proposed Project

    An assessment of the determinants of HIV risk factors for African-
American and Hispanic women in the southeastern United States--New--The 
National Center for HIV/AIDS, STD and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC is requesting OMB approval to administer a questionnaire and 
rapid oral test for HIV in heterosexual African American and Hispanic 
women at three sites in the southeastern United States. This proposed 
data collection will occur over 3 years.
    This study is designed to assess risk factors for HIV infection in 
these women and addresses goals of CDC's ``HIV Prevention Strategic 
Plan Through 2005''. CDC plans to meet specific goals by (1) decreasing 
the number of women at high risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV 
infection; (2) increasing the proportion of HIV-infected women who know 
they are infected; (3) increasing the number of HIV-infected women who 
are linked to appropriate prevention, care, and treatment services; and 
(4) strengthening the capacity nationwide to monitor the HIV epidemic. 
In addition, project data will provide important epidemiologic 
information useful for the development and targeting of future HIV 
prevention activities.
    To identify recruitment venues, 250 African American and 125 
Hispanic women (n = 375) will be recruited to take part in an anonymous 
one-time 3-minute intercept interview. (Data on the table below are 
shown annualized over the 3 year period for this project.) About 2025 
women, recruited directly from the selected venues (e.g. health 
clinics, beauty salons, laundromats, etc.) and by word of mouth using a 
respondent-driven sampling (RDS) approach, will be asked to complete a 
10-minute eligibility screening interview. We estimate that 80% of 
screened women will be eligible for our study. Among the estimated 1620 
eligible women about 270 women are anticipated to decline participation 
in the study. To get a better understanding of the reasons for 
declining participation, those 270 women will be asked to complete a 
10-minute questionnaire. The remaining 1350 eligible participants (850 
African American and 500 Hispanic) that are at risk for HIV infection 
will be enrolled. They will respond to a one-time, 45-minute 
computerized questionnaire capturing information on demographic, 
psychological, behavioral, sociocultural, and environmental/contextual 
dimensions relevant for understanding risk for contracting HIV 
infection. They will also receive rapid oral HIV testing and 
counseling. The HIV counseling and testing will take an additional 45 
minutes to complete. Each woman will receive 10-minute RDS training on 
how they can tell other women in their social networks about the study. 
A sub-sample of 40 African American and 20 Hispanic women (n = 60) will 
also take part in separate qualitative interviews. The one-hour 
qualitative interview will be scheduled for a different day that is 
convenient for the women.
    The total response burden for the three-year period is estimated to 
be 2711.25 hours (904 annualized burden hours). There is no cost to the 
respondents other than their time.
