Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting OMB approval to
conduct an assessment of the
determinants of factors associated with
parent-adolescent communication about
sex among African-American and
Hispanic mothers and their children in
the southwestern United States. In the
United States, non-Hispanic Black and
Hispanic adolescents have been
disproportionately impacted by HIV/
AIDS. In 2006, based on CDC data from
the 50 states and the District of
Columbia, non-Hispanic Blacks and
Hispanics made up 16% and 17%,
respectively (34% total), of the 13–19
year-old population, but 69% and 19%
respectively (88% total) of AIDS
diagnoses among that age group. In
addition, current trends suggest that a
large number of persons with HIV/AIDS
are infected in their adolescent years,
and there may be a long latency period
before signs of infection present in later
years. Individuals may develop patterns
of sexual behavior in adolescence that
put them at risk for infection with HIV.

Data suggest that parent-adolescent
communication about sex is an
important determinant of adolescent
sexual risk behavior.
The purpose of the proposed study is
to identify effective strategies African
American and Latino parents use to
communicate with their children about
sex. Families will be enrolled at a local
community Boys and Girls Club that has
ongoing activities for youth and their
parents. In phase 1 (sample=48), African
American and Hispanic mothers will
complete a 90 minute focus group. In
phase 2 (sample=800), mothers and
their children (ages 12–15) will
complete a 100 minute selfadministered survey on a lap-top
computer using Audio-computer
Assisted Interviewing (ACASI).
Findings will be used to provide
recommendations for behavioral
interventions and educational materials
for parent-adolescent sexual health
communications for minority families.
The survey will take approximately 100
minutes to complete. The total response
burden for the two-year period is
estimated to be 1406 hours (703
annualized burden hours). There is no
cost to respondents except for their
time.

Strategic Plan of the Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome Research Program
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) announces an open
meeting concerning chronic fatigue
syndrome.
Name: Strategic Plan of CDC’s
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
Research Program.
Times and Date: 1 p.m.–5 p.m., April
27, 2009.
Place: Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, Global Communications
Center, Building 19, Auditorium B2,
1600 Clifton Road NE., Atlanta, Georgia
30333.
Status: Open to the public, limited
only by the space available.
Purpose: The purpose of the public
meeting is to solicit input from
interested parties on issues that CDC
will consider as it develops a five-year
strategic plan for its chronic fatigue
syndrome research program. Input is
sought only on the CFS strategic
research plan, not on CDC’s overall CFS
program. As CDC is one of many
institutions conducting research on
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:44 Apr 14, 2009
Jkt 217001
chronic fatigue syndrome, the strategic
plan will only address research that is
within CDC’s purview.
Topics Include: The objective of the
five-year strategic plan is to conduct
public health research leading to the
control and prevention of medically
unexplained chronically fatiguing
illnesses, in particular CFS. The agenda
will focus on the goals and objectives of
CDC’s chronic fatigue syndrome
research program in five major
categories:
1. Studies of Defined populations.
2. Provider-based Patient Registries.
3. In-hospital Clinical Studies.
4. Laboratory Studies.
5. Provider and Public Educational
Intervention Research.
The agenda does not include
development of consensus positions,
guidelines, or discussions or
endorsements of specific commercial
products. Agenda items are subject to
change as priorities dictate. Members of
the public wishing to make an oral
statement during the meeting should
limit their remarks to 5 minutes and
should address the research agenda.
Written comments and suggestions from
the public on the research agenda are
encouraged and may be submitted to the
e-mail address listed below by April 22,
2009. While CDC will carefully consider
the individual comments and opinions
it receives, it will retain discretion in its
decision-making process. A draft
strategic plan will also be presented to
the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Advisory
Committee meeting held May 27–28,
2009.
Background: CDC recently solicited
and considered recommendations from
an external review panel that evaluated
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the research and professional education
components of the CFS research
program. The panel’s report
summarizing the findings of the peer
review has been published on the CDC
CFS Web site at www.cdc.gov/cfs/pdf/
cdc_cfs_research_programexternal_review.pdf. In brief, the panel
noted that: (1) The CDC team currently
leads the world in both the breadth and
depth of their research into CFS; (2) the
efforts of CDC have highlighted the
public health importance of CFS; (3) all
current research projects address
important issues; (4) CDC is uniquely
positioned to conduct a broadly based
research program derived from the
population, a large-scale educational
outreach program, particularly to
healthcare professionals, and to provide
expert Web-based resources for patients,
their families and non-healthcare
professionals; and (5) CDC is the bestplaced institution to lead the
establishment of research and
educational networks, both nationally
and internationally.
The report included several valuable
recommendations which CDC has begun
to implement, starting with the
development of a strategic plan to drive
the program’s research, prevention, and
control activities for the next five years.
This meeting will provide input to that
strategic plan.
Persons anticipating attending the
meeting are requested to send written
notification by April 22, 2009, including
name, organization (if applicable),
address, phone, fax, and e-mail
addresses to the contact below.
