SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OWH
was established in 1991 to improve the
health of American women by
advancing and coordinating a
comprehensive women’s health agenda
throughout HHS. This program has two
goals: development and implementation
of model programs on women’s health;
and leading education, collaboration,
and coordination on women’s health.
The program fulfills its mission through
competitive contracts and grants to an
array of community, academic, and
other organizations at the national and
community levels. National educational
campaigns provide information about
the important steps women and girls
can take to improve and maintain their
health.
In addition to womenshealth.gov,
OWH produces girlshealth.gov, a Web
site dedicated to providing relevant,
trustworthy, and commercial-free health
information for girls ages 10–16. The
Web site gives girls reliable information
on the health issues they will face as
they become young women. Under the
purview of OWH, the Web site for the
National Bone Health Campaign,
girlshealth.gov/bones, will be accessible
through the girlshealth.gov site to reach
girls ages 9 to 14 with the goal of
increasing calcium and vitamin D
consumption and weight-bearing
physical activity.
In 2004, the Surgeon General exhorted
public, private, nonprofit, academic,
and scientific stakeholders to increase
awareness about bone health. The
Surgeon General stated that, by 2020,
half of all Americans older than age 50
will be at risk for fractures from
osteoporosis. His report emphasized
prevention of osteoporosis in
adolescence through increased calcium
and vitamin D consumption and weightbearing physical activity.
Osteoporosis has been called a
‘‘pediatric disease with geriatric
consequences.’’ Though the disease
most often strikes later in life, the stage
is set during adolescence, when almost
one-half of the adult skeleton is formed.
In addition some groups, such as those
with anorexia nervosa, can develop
osteoporosis much earlier. Sadly, only
15 percent of adolescent girls get
enough calcium, according to the
National Osteoporosis Foundation. The
Surgeon General’s Report also cited one
study that found only half of the
participants ages 12–21 exercise
vigorously on a regular basis and 25
percent report no exercise at all.
The National Bone Health Campaign
is intended to help girls adopt healthy

habits, specifically increased calcium
and vitamin D consumption and weightbearing physical activity, to build strong
bones. The campaign will plan, develop,
implement, and evaluate a national
social marketing campaign to increase
awareness of bone-healthy habits and
affect behavior change. The campaign
will target the girls, their parents, and
healthcare providers.
In order to implement the National
Bone Health Campaign, OWH is
interested in establishing partnerships
with private and public bone healthand girls’ health-related organizations.
As partners with HHS, these health
organizations can bring their ideas and
expertise, administrative capabilities,
and resources that are consistent with
the goals of the National Bone Health
Campaign.
Given the National Bone Health
Campaign’s objectives, entities that have
similar goals and consistent interests,
appropriate expertise and resources, and
would like to pursue bone health
awareness activities in collaboration
with OWH are encouraged to reply to
this notice. Working together, these
partnerships will provide innovative
opportunities to promote an increased
national awareness of positive bonehealthy behaviors, with the end goal of
increased calcium and vitamin D
consumption and weight-bearing
physical activity.
Dated: May 28, 2008.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health
(Women’s Health).

Proposed Project
Medical Monitoring Project—
Revision—National Center for HIV,
Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Medical Monitoring Project
(MMP) is a nationally representative,
population-based surveillance system to
assess clinical outcomes, behaviors, and
the quality of HIV care. The primary
objectives of MMP are to obtain data
from a national probability sample of
HIV-infected persons receiving care in
the U.S. to: (a) Describe the clinical
status of recruited patients; (b) describe
HIV care and support services being
received and the quality of those
services; (c) describe the prevalence and
occurrence of co-morbidities related to
HIV disease; (d) determine prevalence of
ongoing risk behaviors, as well as the
access to and use of prevention services
among persons living with HIV; and (e)
identify met and unmet needs for HIV
care and prevention services in order to
inform community and care planning
groups, health care providers, and other
stakeholders. In order to meet these
objectives, patients will be recruited to
the project from randomly selected HIV
care providers (e.g., physicians and
other care providers) in the U.S.
MMP was implemented in 2005 and
is currently being conducted in 26
project areas. The methods for the
project remain the same; however, data
collection instruments have been
revised based on experience in previous
data collection cycles. An estimated
8,320 patients will participate in MMP
each data collection cycle.
As part of this current revision to
MMP, CDC is requesting the addition of
a survey of randomly selected HIV care
providers (e.g., physicians, nurse
practitioners and physician’s assistants)
in the U.S. regarding their training
history, areas of specialization, ongoing
sources of training and continuing
education about HIV care, and
awareness of HIV treatment guidelines
and resources.
In order to understand factors
associated with access to and quality of
care, it is necessary to understand the
characteristics of the HIV care providers
randomly selected for inclusion in the
project. This information will be
obtained by conducting a provider
survey. All HIV care providers who are
sampled into MMP—about 1440 in all—
will be asked to participate in the
survey, whether or not the provider’s
patients participate in MMP.
Participation is voluntary. Those who
consent will be asked to complete a selfadministered survey which will include
questions about training history, areas of
specialization, ongoing sources of
training and continuing education about
HIV care, and awareness of HIV
treatment guidelines and resources.
The information collected in the MMP
Provider Survey will be used in
conjunction with other MMP data to
assess who is providing HIV care, to
examine the impact of provider
characteristics on the quality and
standard of care being provided to
patients with HIV, and to determine
opportunities to improve resources
available to HIV care providers. There is
no cost to respondents other than their
time.
