Proposed Project
A Study of Primary and Secondary
Prevention Behaviors Practiced Among
Five-Year Survivors of Colorectal
Cancer—New—Division of Cancer
Prevention and Control (DCPC),
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third
most prevalent cancer and the second
leading cause of cancer death in both
men and women in the United States. In
2004, there were an estimated 145,083
new cases of colorectal cancer
diagnosed and 53,580 deaths. However,
the five-year relative survival rates of
patients diagnosed with CRC have been
steadily increasing since 1975 and there
are now over 1 million CRC survivors in
the U.S.
Despite improved survival rates, CRC
survivors are at an elevated risk for
cancer recurrence, second primary
cancers, and other health problems after
being treated for cancer. Research
evidence suggests that these elevated
risks can be mitigated by healthy
lifestyle practices such as exercise and
smoking cessation, and by undergoing
regular medical follow-up and cancer
screenings. A number of medical
organizations, therefore, recommend
that CRC survivors follow public health
and clinical guidelines for prevention
behaviors, medical follow-up, and
cancer screenings.
A thorough understanding of how
individuals make decisions about health
care and cancer prevention following
cancer diagnosis is imperative for
developing public health policies,
programs, and interventions to promote
health and increased quality of life after
cancer, but little is known about the
factors that motivate or hinder the
adoption of cancer prevention and
screening behaviors among cancer
survivors. Therefore, the goal of the
current study is to identify the key
factors associated with practicing (or not
practicing) recommended prevention
behaviors.
The proposed study will employ a
survey of 5-year CRC survivors to collect
information about knowledge, attitudes,
psychosocial factors, health status and
behaviors, and utilization of health care
services including screening services.
Respondents will be individuals who
have previously received a diagnosis of
CRC, and will be identified through
California Cancer Registry records.
Permission to contact these individuals
about participation in the study will be
obtained from their physicians. Each
physician associated with one or more
CRC patients will be responsible for
reviewing a customized list of names to
identify patients who should not be
contacted. Following receipt of
physician permission, individuals who
are eligible for the study will receive a
pre-notification letter to inform them
about the study and to give them an
option to decline participation.
Respondents who are recruited to the
study will complete a self-administered
survey that will be delivered and
returned by mail. Non-response will be
followed by an invitation to complete
the survey via telephone interview. We
estimate that 1,950 physicians will be
contacted and that we will receive
completed surveys from 1,000 CRC
survivors.
Findings from this study will help
guide future policies, programs, and
interventions developed to enhance and
improve the long-term health and well
being of cancer survivors.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.

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
