Proposed Project
Nurse Delivered Risk Reduction
Intervention for HIV-Positive Women—
New—National Center for HIV/AIDS,
Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
During the past two decades, HIV
surveillance data indicate an increase in
HIV/AIDS cases among women in the
non-urban Southeastern United States.
In 2006, the majority of HIV/AIDS cases
(80%) among women were attributed to
high-risk heterosexual contact with an
infected partner. Women of color,
particularly Black women, are
intervention, elicit recommendations for
developing risk reduction intervention
strategies, and to better understand the
factors that place women at risk for HIV.
CDC is requesting approval for a 2year clearance for data collection. This
project will collect data from HIV
positive women using a screening form
to determine eligibility for participation
in the study, a locator form to collect
contact information from participants
and a baseline and follow-up behavioral
assessment that will be administered to
330 HIV positive women. The baseline
and follow-up assessments contain
questions about participants’ sociodemographic information, health and
health care, sexual activity, substance
use, and other psychosocial issues. The
duration of each assessment is estimated
to be 45 minutes; the in-depth interview
60 minutes; the screening form 10
minutes; and the locator form 3
minutes.
There is no cost to the participants
other than their time.
disproportionately affected by HIV/
AIDS which also serves as a leading
cause of death for Black women. Factors
shown to be associated with HIV in the
South include poverty, lack of access to
medical care, poor education, lack of
awareness of the disease, and exposure
to other sexually transmitted diseases.
Presently, there is an urgent need for
enhanced HIV transmission prevention
interventions for HIV positive women in
the southeastern United States.
The purpose of this project is to adapt
and test the efficacy of an HIV
transmission prevention intervention for
reducing sexual risk among 330 HIV
positive women in the Southeastern
United States, and to study factors
associated with risk among women. A
brief, nurse delivered, single session
intervention will be evaluated using a
randomized wait-list comparison design
with a three-month follow-up
assessment. This project will also
conduct in-depth qualitative interviews
with a subgroup of 25–30 women, in
order to assess experiences with the

Title: Generic Clearance to conduct
pre-testing of surveys.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Office of Planning,
Research and Evaluation (OPRE),
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS),
intends to request approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for a generic clearance that will
allow OPRE to conduct a variety of data
gathering activities aimed at identifying
questionnaire and procedural problems
in survey administration. Over the next
three years, OPRE anticipates
undertaking a variety of new surveys as
part of research projects in the fields of
cash welfare, employment and selfsufficiency, Head Start, child care,
healthy marriage and responsible
fatherhood, and child welfare, among
others. In order to improve the
development of its research and
evaluation surveys, OPRE envisions
using a variety of techniques including
field tests, respondent debriefing
questionnaires, cognitive interviews and
focus groups in order to identify
questionnaire and procedural problems,
suggest solutions, and measure the
relative effectiveness of alternative
survey solutions.
Following standard OMB
requirements, OPRE will submit a
change request to OMB individually for
every data collection activity
undertaken under this generic
clearance. OPRE will provide OMB with
a copy of the individual instrument or
questionnaire, as well as other materials
describing the project and specific
survey pre test.
Respondents: The respondents will be
identified at the time that each change
request is submitted to OMB. Generally,
they will be individuals who are
representative of the target groups for
the public assistance research or
evaluation project in question.
