well as their knowledge, attitudes, and
behaviors related to preventive cancer
screenings. Of particular interest are
adults of various races and ethnicities
who are at high risk for lung cancer (i.e.,
long-term heavy smokers).
The proposed project will use focus
groups to gather information about the
target audiences’ experiences and
practices related to lung cancer
screening and testing. If warranted from
focus group data with adult consumers,
follow-up personal interviews will be
conducted with selected focus group
participants, especially those reporting
experience with screening tests, such as
spiral computed tomography (CT).
Physician Masterfile list. Potential
physician respondents will be mailed a
screening packet to complete and
return. Each focus group of physicians
will include approximately six
participants and last 75 minutes. Two
alternates will be recruited for each
physician focus group in order to ensure
participation of the targeted number of
respondents.
Information will be collected over the
two-year project period. There are no
costs to respondents except their time.
The total estimated annualized burden
hours are 198.
A total of 16 focus groups will be
conducted at professional focus group
facilities with long-term heavy smokers
ages 40–70. The data will be collected
from a convenience sample of adults
who will be screened and recruited
using lists maintained by the focus
group facilities. Each focus group will
include approximately nine participants
and last two hours. If warranted,
additional in-depth interviews will be
conducted with up to 16 focus group
participants.
Eight telephone focus groups will be
conducted with a random sample of
primary care physicians recruited from
the American Medical Association

Proposed Project
Rapid HIV Testing in Community
Mental Health Settings Serving African
Americans—New—National Center for
HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
People with chronic mental illness,
including those with substance use
disorders, are at increased risk of HIV
PO 00000

Sfmt 4703

(in hours)
compared with the general population.
However, not enough is known about
the risk behaviors, willingness to be
tested for HIV and HIV prevalence
among persons with chronic mental
illness. In addition, the interrelations
among diagnosis of HIV infection,
compliance with medical care,
subsequent risk behaviors, and the
course of mental illness have not been
well-described. Mental health clinics
are an important setting for HIV rapid
testing and promoting prevention efforts
against the transmission of HIV
infection.
The objectives of this project are to (1)
demonstrate improved access to HIV
testing and linkage to care in
participating mental health care
settings; and (2) describe the
relationship between mental illness,
HIV risk behaviors, and access to testing
and services, in order to inform the
development of optimal prevention
interventions for persons with severe
mental illness. Staff at selected
implementation sites will offer testing
for HIV to clients and administer a brief
survey to assess risk behaviors, previous
access to similar testing services, and
mental health symptoms.
CDC is requesting approval for a 2year clearance for data collection. Data
E:\FR\FM\04AUN1.SGM
04AUN1

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 150 / Monday, August 4, 2008 / Notices
will be collected in 6 community mental
health sites. This project will collect
data from clients using a brief survey
administered on a voluntary basis.
Collection of data will provide
information on client demographics;
current behaviors that may facilitate
HIV transmission, including sexual and
drug-use behaviors; current psychiatric
symptoms, determined using brief rating
scales; access and barriers to HIV
testing, prevention, and treatment
services; and adherence to psychiatric
and medical treatment regimens.
CDC estimates the response rate will
be approximately 90%. Of the 644
persons approached who agree to be
surveyed, it is estimated that 95% of
persons will meet the eligibility criteria
and 98% will be able to provide
informed consent. Therefore, the goal
will be to approach 716 persons
annually for participation in the study.
The structured interview will take
approximately 20 minutes to complete.
Participation is voluntary. Data
collection will provide important
insights into the relationship between
HIV/STI risk behaviors and psychiatric
illness.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time.
