Proposed Project
Evaluation Models to Assess Patient
Perspectives on Opt-out HIV testing in
Clinical Settings—New—National

Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD and
TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2006, CDC published the Revised
Recommendations for HIV Testing of
Adults, Adolescents and Pregnant
Women in Health Care Settings which
recommends routine, opt-out HIV
testing to persons 13–64 years of age in
health care settings. The goal of this
project is to develop evaluation models
for health care providers in a variety of
settings to independently assess the
effect that expanded HIV screening
activities have on patient attitudes
toward and acceptance of HIV testing.
The evaluation models will be
packaged into a toolkit containing
educational materials, administrative
tools and a model questionnaire to
measure patients’ perceptions of their
ability to decline testing, the sufficiency
and effectiveness of methods used to
impart information prior to testing, and
satisfaction with the testing process.
As part of the development of a model
questionnaire for inclusion in the
toolkit, three health care settings (a
hospital emergency department, a
private primary care practice and a
public primary care practice) will be
selected to pilot test the questionnaire.
In each health care site, 150 patients
will be asked to voluntarily complete a
brief computer assisted self interview
regarding their experience with the HIV
testing process during their health care
visit.
Collection of data will include
information on patient demographics
and current behaviors that may facilitate
HIV transmission; perceptions regarding
pressure to take the test; confidentiality
and privacy during testing; and patient
satisfaction and acceptance of opt-out
HIV testing. For persons who refused
HIV testing during their visit,
information about refusal will be
collected.
Results from the three pilot sites will
be assessed to understand issues of
feasibility of the model questionnaire
and validity of the included items and
scales. The findings from the three site
evaluations will be used to improve the
model questionnaire and protocols
included in the evaluation models
toolkit.
CDC plans to complete data collection
in 3 health care settings in one year.
CDC estimates that 188 patients will be
asked to participate at each site during
the one year of data collection and that
80% will accept, resulting in
approximately 450 new survey
respondents across all sites. The average

Participation is voluntary. There is no

time.
