Proposed Project Transgender HIV Behavioral Survey (THBS)—New—National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention request approval for a term of 2 years for a new project that will pilot a questionnaire and protocol for an HIV-related behavioral survey among transgender persons of color. The objectives of the pilot will be to assess the content of the questionnaire as well as the efficiency and feasibility of the methods for sampling and recruiting transgender persons. The goal of the survey is to inform health departments, community based organizations, community planning groups and other stakeholders: (a) The prevalence of risk behaviors, (b) the prevalence of HIV testing and HIV infection; (c) the prevalence of the use of HIV prevention services; and, (d) identify met and unmet needs for HIV prevention services. 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 will be collected through inperson and computer-assisted self interviews conducted in 4 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) throughout the United States. The MSA chosen will be among those currently participating in the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance system (see Federal Register dated January 19, 2007: Vol. 72, No. 12, pages 2529–2530). A brief, inperson, computer-assisted screening interview will be used to determine eligibility for participation in the full survey. Data for the full survey will be collected using computer-assisted self interviews. Besides determining the content of the final survey instrument and the sampling methods, 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. No other federal agency systematically collects this type of information from transgender 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, in each year, THBS will involve eligibility screening of a total of 240 persons and will collect survey information from 200 eligible respondents. Thus, over the two year period 480 persons are estimated to complete the screener and 400 eligible respondents to complete the survey. Participation of respondents is voluntary and there is no cost to the respondents other than their time. The total annualized burden is 170 hours.

Background and Brief Description Every year, approximately 1.1 million Americans have a first or recurrent heart attack/myocardial infarction (MI) and about one third of these will be fatal. Early recognition of MI by both the victim and bystanders followed by prompt cardiac emergency and advanced care has a direct effect on patient outcomes; the shorter the delay to treatment, the better the outcomes. Research indicates that public recognition of major MI symptoms, and the need for immediate action by calling 9–1–1, is poor and that patient delay accounts for most of the lag in E:\FR\FM\24JYN1.SGM 24JYN1

Proposed Project

    Transgender HIV Behavioral Survey (THBS)--New--National Center for 
HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention request approval for 
a term of 2 years for a new project that will pilot a questionnaire and 
protocol for an HIV-related behavioral survey among transgender persons 
of color. The objectives of the pilot will be to assess the content of 
the questionnaire as well as the efficiency and feasibility of the 
methods for sampling and recruiting transgender persons.
    The goal of the survey is to inform health departments, community 
based organizations, community planning groups and other stakeholders: 
(a) The prevalence of risk behaviors, (b) the prevalence of HIV testing 
and HIV infection; (c) the prevalence of the use of HIV prevention 
services; and, (d) identify met and unmet needs for HIV prevention 
services. 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 will be collected through in-person and computer-assisted self 
interviews conducted in 4 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) 
throughout the United States. The MSA chosen will be among those 
currently participating in the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance 
system (see Federal Register dated January 19, 2007: Vol. 72, No. 12, 
pages 2529-2530). A brief, in-person, computer-assisted screening 
interview will be used to determine eligibility for participation in 
the full survey. Data for the full survey will be collected using 
computer-assisted self interviews. Besides determining the content of 
the final survey instrument and the sampling methods, 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. No other federal agency systematically 
collects this type of information from transgender persons at risk for

program development and monitoring at the local, state, and national
