Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
national guidelines collection, 0917–
NEW, ‘‘Indian Health Service HIV
Knowledge/Attitudes/Practice Customer
Survey.’’ Form Number(s): None. Need
and Use of Information Collection: The
IHS goal is to raise the health status of
the American Indian and Alaska Native
(AI/AN) people to the highest possible
level by providing comprehensive
health care and preventive health
services. To support the IHS mission,
the Division of Epidemiology and
Disease Prevention (DEDP) and the
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
Program collaborate to provide
programmatic, technical, and financial
assistance to IRS Areas and Service
Units for improving prevention,
detection, and treatment of infectious
and chronic disease, specifically in this
case, HIV and Sexually Transmitted
Disease (STD).
The ‘‘HIV Knowledge/Attitudes/
Practice Customer Survey’’ (hereafter
referred to as Customer Survey), will
provide the information needed to
understand the most effective and
appropriate methods to complete these
goals. With the information collected
from patients, the DEDP and HIV
programs will be able to offer
recommendations to Service Units on
how to best scale up screening for
sensitive topics such as HIV and STDs
in AllAN communities. Also, the
information will give lETS the tools to
assist the IHS Service Units with
implementation of current national
recommendations by CDC. At the
