Formative Research and Tool
Development—New—National Center
for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC previously published a clearance
mechanism to support behavioral
projects for HIV/ AIDS prevention and
control (Federal Register, volume 73,
number 33 page 492 January 3, 2008).
This project has been expanded to
include formative research, and
instrument testing for, sexually
transmitted infections (STI), viral
hepatitis, and tuberculosis elimination.
Formative research is the basis for
developing effective strategies including
communication channels, for
influencing behavior change. It helps
researchers identify and understand the
characteristics—interests, behaviors and
needs—of target populations that
influence their decisions and actions.
Formative research is integral in
developing programs as well as
improving existing and ongoing
programs. Formative research also looks
at the community in which an
intervention is being or planning to be
implemented and helps the project staff
understand the interests, attributes and
PO 00000

needs of different populations and
persons in their community. Formative
research is research that occurs before a
program is designed and implemented,
or while a program is being conducted.
Formative research is an integral part of
developing programs or adapting
programs that deal with the complexity
of behaviors, social context, cultural
identities, and health care that underlie
the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS, viral
hepatitis, STDs, and TB in the U.S.
CDC conducts formative research to
develop public-sensitive
communication messages and userfriendly tools prior to developing or
recommending interventions, or care.
Sometimes these studies are entirely
behavioral but most often they are
cycles of interviews and focus groups
designed to inform the formation of a
product.
Products from these studies will be
used for sustainable projects for HIV/
AIDS, Sexually Transmitted Infections
(STI), viral Hepatitis, and Tuberculosis
prevention that are presented as
evidence to disease specific National
Advisory Committees, in order to
support revisions to existing prevention
and intervention methods, and new
recommendations which cannot be
developed without formative research.
Much of CDC’s health communication
takes place within campaigns that have
fairly lengthy planning periods—
timeframes that accommodate the
standard Federal process for approving
data collections. Short term qualitative
interviewing and cognitive research
techniques have previously proven
invaluable in the development of
scientifically valid and population-

error thereby decreasing future data
collection burden to the public. The
studies that will be covered under this
request will include one or more of the
following investigational modalities: (1)
Focus group and individual interviews;
(2) cognitive interviews for development
and testing of specific data collection
instruments; (3) component testing of
instruments developed from qualitative
research or communication methods; (4)
testing of behavioral interventions; (5)
public acceptance of intervention and
prevention methods; (6) utilizing
computer-assisted instruments
(including Web-based technology).
Respondents who will participate in
individual and group interviews
(qualitative, cognitive, and computer-
appropriate methods, interventions, and
instruments.
This request includes studies
investigating the utility and
acceptability of proposed recruitment
methods, intervention contents and
delivery, questionnaire domains,
individual questions, and interactions
with project staff or electronic data
collection equipment. These activities
will also provide information about how
respondents answer questions and ways
in which question response bias and
error can be reduced. Overall, these
development activities are intended to
provide information that will increase
the success of the surveillance or
research project through increasing
response rates and decreasing response
assisted development activities) are
selected purposely from those who
respond to recruitment advertisements.
In addition to utilizing advertisements
for recruitment, respondents who will
participate in research on survey
methods may be selected purposively or
systematically from within an ongoing
surveillance or research project.
CDC estimates that in a given year,
46,529 individuals will participate in 10
different information collection
activities each year, each lasting
between 6–12 months.
Participation of respondents is
voluntary and there is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.

the introduction, transmission, or
spread of communicable diseases into
the United States. Legislation and
existing regulations governing the
foreign quarantine activities (42 CFR
part 71) authorize quarantine officers
and other personnel to inspect and
undertake necessary control measures
with respect to conveyances, persons,
and shipments of animals and etiologic
agents entering the United States from
foreign ports in order to protect the
public’s health.
Under the foreign quarantine
regulations, the master of a ship or
captain of an airplane entering he
United States from a foreign port is
required by public health law to report
certain illnesses among passengers (42
CFR 71.21 (b)). In addition to the
aforementioned list of illnesses which
must be reported to CDC, the master of
a ship or captain of an airplane must
also report (1) hemorrhagic Fever
Syndrome (persistent fever
accompanied by abnormal bleeding
from any site); or (2) acute respiratory
syndrome (severe cough or severe
respiratory disease of less than 3 weeks
in duration); or (3) acute onset of fever
and severe headache, accompanied by
stiff neck or change in level of
consciousness. CDC has the authority to
