control through field investigations. The
CDC National Disease Surveillance
Program is based on the premise that
diseases cannot be diagnosed,
prevented, or controlled until existing
knowledge is expanded and new ideas
developed and implemented. Over the
years, the mandate of CDC has
broadened to include preventive health
activities and the surveillance systems
maintained have expanded.
CDC and the Council of State and
Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE)
collect data on disease and preventable
conditions in accordance with jointly
approved plans. Changes in the
surveillance program and in reporting
methods are effected in the same
manner. At the onset of this surveillance
program in 1968, the CSTE and CDC
decided on which diseases warranted
surveillance. These diseases are
reviewed and revised based on
variations in the public’s health.
Surveillance forms are distributed to the
State and local health departments who
voluntarily submit these reports to CDC
at variable frequencies, either weekly or
monthly. CDC then calculates and
publishes weekly statistics via the
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report
(MMWR), providing the states with
timely aggregates of their submissions.
The following diseases/conditions are
included in this program: Diarrheal
disease surveillance (includes
campylobacter, salmonella, and
shigella), foodborne outbreaks, arboviral
surveillance (ArboNet), Influenza virus
(includes the annual survey and
influenza-like illness), Respiratory and
Enterovirus surveillance, rabies,
waterborne diseases, cholera and other
vibrio illnesses, calicivirus surveillance,
and Listeria case form. These data are
essential on the local, state, and Federal
levels for measuring trends in diseases,
evaluating the effectiveness of current
prevention strategies, and determining
the need for modifying current
prevention measures.
This request is for approval of the
data collection for three years. Because
of the distinct nature of each of the
diseases, the number of cases reported
annually is different for each. There is
no cost to respondents other than their
time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 21,107.

Proposed Project
National HIV Behavioral Surveillance
System (NHBS)—New—National Center
for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this data collection is
to monitor behaviors related to Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection
among persons at high risk for infection
in the United States. The primary
objectives of the system are to obtain
data from samples of persons at risk to:
(a) Describe the prevalence and trends
in risk behaviors; (b) describe the
prevalence of and trends in HIV testing
and HIV infection; (c) describe the
prevalence of and trends in use of HIV
prevention services; (d) identify met and
unmet needs for HIV prevention
services in order to inform health
departments, community based
organizations, community planning
groups and other stakeholders. This
project addresses the goals of CDC’s HIV
prevention strategic plan, specifically

the goal of strengthening the national
capacity to monitor the HIV epidemic to
better direct and evaluate prevention
efforts.
Data are collected through in-person
interviews conducted with persons
systematically selected from 25
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs)
throughout the United States; these 25
MSAs were chosen based on having
high AIDS prevalence. Persons at risk
for HIV infection to be interviewed for
NHBS include men who have sex with
men (MSM), injecting drug users (IDU),
and heterosexual persons living in
census tracts that have high HIV/AIDS
prevalence (HET). A brief screening
interview will be used to determine
eligibility for participation in the full
survey. The data from the full survey
will provide estimates of behavior
related to the risk of HIV and other
sexually transmitted diseases, prior
testing for HIV, and use of HIV
prevention services. All persons
interviewed will also be offered an HIV
test, and will participate in a pre-test
counseling session. No other federal
agency systematically collects this type
of information from persons at risk for
HIV infection. This data will have
substantial impact on prevention
program development and monitoring at
the local, state, and national levels.
CDC estimates that NHBS will
involve, per year in each of the 25
MSAs, eligibility screening for 50 to 200
persons and eligibility screening plus
the survey and HIV testing with 500
eligible respondents, resulting in a total
of 37,500 eligible survey respondents
