prevent or reduce the occurrence of
crime and violence by providing
information related to (re)designing
physical features of the environment

In addition, an exploratory purpose of
this research is to determine whether
the CSA items can be divided reliably

If we produce practical support for the
assessment of these ‘‘CPTED variables,’’

determining whether these variables are
logically related to our measures of fear,

Survey data from one counselor and
75 students (25 each from 6th, 7th, and
8th grades) will be collected from 50
middle schools in metro-Atlanta,
Georgia area (a total of approximately 50
counselor participants and 3,750
student participants), in addition to the
observational (CSA) data collection. The
counselor and student survey will
assess variables such as school climate,
actual and perceived levels of school
violence at each school. In addition,
archival/administrative data will be
collected from each of the 50 schools

and school characteristics from various
sources (e.g., school data reported by the
school on a ‘‘School Profile’’ form,

Environmental Design: Linking
Observed School Environments with

Center for Injury Prevention (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and

Background and Brief Description
Among the goals of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
National Center for Injury Prevention
(NCIPC) and Control is to reduce the
prevalence of violence among youth.
Several important priorities included in
the Center’s published research agenda
focus on studying how physical
environments influence behavior and
risk for violence. The CDC has
developed a tool called the Crime
Prevention Through Environmental
Design (CPTED) School Assessment
(CSA) to assess the extent to which the
physical characteristics of schools are
consistent with Crime Prevention
Through Environmental Design (CPTED)
principles.
The proposed research will allow us
to determine the validity of the CSA by
examining the extent to which the CSA
subscales, total CSA scores, and CPTED
principles are related to typical
variables related to fear and violence. If
the CSA tool is shown to measure

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
In the United States, an estimated 1
million people are living with HIV.
About 40,000 new HIV infections occur
each year. Women account for about
27% of all new HIV/AIDS diagnoses,
with women of color in the South being
most affected. Women of color represent
80% of all women estimated to be living
with HIV/AIDS. In 2004, the rate HIV/
AIDS cases per 100,000 for nonHispanic African-American adult and
adolescent females (67.0) was 21 times
higher than that for non-Hispanic white
females (3.2). Similarly, the rate of HIV/
AIDS cases reported in 2004 for
Hispanic women (16.3) was 5 times
higher than the rate for non-Hispanic
white women.
Limited research data suggest that the
character and dynamics of women’s
sexual relationships, gender
relationships, sex roles, and experiences
related to race and ethnicity may be
important determinants of risk, both for
engaging in risk behaviors and for doing
so with high-risk partners. In addition,
women’s vulnerability is connected to a
variety of socioeconomic factors,
including delayed access to care and
support for HIV/AIDS. Accordingly, the
specific aims of the study are to:
• Enroll 850 African-American and
500 Hispanic women at risk for HIV
infection in a one-time survey.
• Conduct rapid oral HIV testing of
all women and facilitate linkage to
medical care among those identified as
HIV-positive.
• Characterize African-American and
Hispanic women on demographic,
psychological, behavioral, sociocultural,
and environmental/contextual
dimensions.
• Assess and compare the prevalence
of sexual and drug behaviors of African
American and Hispanic women.
• Identify characteristics of AfricanAmerican and Hispanic women
associated with sexual behaviors that
place them at risk for contracting HIV.
Similarly, identify characteristics that
protect against becoming infected with
HIV.
• Recruit a sub-sample of survey
respondents to take in a qualitative
interview.
• Use our findings to provide
recommendations on the design of
behavioral interventions for African
American and Hispanic women.
Women will complete a 10-minute
eligibility screening interview. The
survey interview will take
approximately 45 minutes each to
complete for those who agree to
participate in the study and 10 minutes
to complete for those who refuse to
enroll. Women completing the survey
will take part in a 45 minute HIV
counseling and testing session, which
will be followed by a 10-minute training
for how to refer other women to the
project. The qualitative interview will
take approximately one hour to
complete. The total response burden for
the three-year period is estimated to be
2712.39 hours (904.13 annualized
burden hours). There is no cost to
respondents except for their time.
