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.

Respondents will be recruited from three regions of the U.S. Information about knowledge, attitudes and behaviors will be collected through interviews with key informants including medical care providers, tribal community leaders, and individual AI/ AN community members. In addition, more detailed information will be collected through extended focus group discussions with AI/AN community members who have experienced an MI or who are considered at high risk for MI. The information to be collected will be used to improve understanding of the barriers and facilitators that impact recognition of MI signs in AI/AN communities and decisions to seek treatment; to develop culturally appropriate health messages; and to identify effective message delivery methods.

CDC applies research and findings to improve people’s daily lives and responds to health emergencies— something that distinguishes CDC from its peer agencies. CDC is committed to achieving true improvements in people’s health. To do this, the agency is defining specific health protection goals to prioritize and focus its work and investments and measure progress. It is imperative that CDC provide high-quality timely information and programs in the most effective ways to help people, families, and communities protect their health and safety. Through continuous consumer feedback, prevention research, and public health information technology, we identify and evaluate health needs and interests, translate science into actions to meet those needs, and engage the public in the excitement of discovery and the PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 54 27 30 15 252 126 12 8 12 8 Number of responses per respondent 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Average burden (in hours) 3/60 1 3/60 45/60 3/60 45/60 3/60 5 3/60 5 progress being made to improve the health of the Nation.

The National Center for Health Marketing (NCHM) of the Coordinating Center for Health Information and Service (CCHIS) was established to help ensure that health information, interventions, and programs at CDC are based on sound science, objectivity, and continuous customer input. NCHM is requesting a 3-year approval for the generic concept of health marketing to provide feedback on the development, implementation and satisfaction regarding public health services, products, communication campaigns and information. The information will be collected using standard qualitative and quantitative methods such as interviews, focus groups, and panels, as well as questionnaires administered in person, by telephone, by mail, by email, and online. More specific types of studies may include: user experience and usertesting; concept/product/package development testing; brand positioning/ identity research; customer satisfaction surveying; ethnography/observational studies; and mystery shopping.
