Proposed Project A Controlled Evaluation of Expect Respect Support Groups (ERSG): Preventing and Interrupting Teen Dating Violence among At-Risk Middle and PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 High School Students—New—National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Division of Violence Prevention (DVP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The prevalence and consequences of teen dating violence make it a public health concern that requires early and effective prevention. To date, only three prevention strategies—Safe Dates, the Youth Relationships Project, and 4th R—have demonstrated reductions in dating violence behaviors in rigorous, controlled evaluations. In order to protect young people and build an evidence-base of effective prevention strategies, evaluation of additional programs is needed, including those programs currently in the field. Expect Respect Support Groups (provided by SafePlace) are currently in use in the Austin Independent School District and demonstrated promising results in an uncontrolled program evaluation, suggesting a controlled evaluation is warranted to more rigorously examine program effects. The proposed study has one primary aim and two exploratory aims. The primary aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of Expect Respect Support Groups (ERSG) to prevent and reduce teen dating violence and increase healthy conflict resolution skills reported by at-risk male and female middle and high school students compared to at-risk students in control schools who do not receive ERSG. The exploratory aims are: (1) To evaluate whether or not the effectiveness of ERSG is enhanced by the presence of a universal, school-wide prevention program, and (2) To examine moderators and mediators of targeted and universal teen dating violence interventions, such as biological sex and history of abuse at intake. The proposed evaluation will use a quasi-experimental/non-randomized design in which a convenience sample of participants in schools receiving targeted prevention services are compared to students in control schools in which no dating violence prevention services are available. Control schools will be selected that have characteristics (e.g., risk status, socio-economic status) similar to the Austin Independent School District intervention schools. Based on past, uncontrolled program evaluation of Expect Respect Support groups, we anticipate that in the Austin Independent School District and neighboring district(s), 800 students will undergo an intake assessment, of whom 600 will be eligible for Expect Respect Support groups and will complete the baseline survey. We expect 400 students E:\FR\FM\04AUN1.SGM 04AUN1 38635 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 148 / Tuesday, August 4, 2009 / Notices to complete the survey and two-followup assessments. Therefore, over three years 2400 students will undergo an intake assessment, of whom we will recruit 1800 students into the study (300 per year from intervention schools and 300 per year from control schools), of whom we anticipate 1200 will have complete data. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.

Chapter 35). To request a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301) 443–1129. The following request has been submitted to the OMB for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995: Proposed Project: Intervention Trials To Retain HIV-Positive Patients in Medical Care: (New) The purpose of this project is to develop, implement, and test the efficacy of an intervention designed to increase client appointment attendance among patients at risk of missing scheduled appointments at HIV clinics. This project is a collaboration between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and six university-affiliated HIV clinics in the United States. The proposed intervention will be implemented in two phases. Phase 1 is a clinic-wide VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:07 Aug 03, 2009 Jkt 217001 intervention that includes the following components: a theme slogan for the intervention, brochures, posters with messages to patients, brief verbal retention in care messages from providers to patients, buttons printed with the theme of the intervention worn by providers, and appointment reminder cards with information on how to cancel appointments. All clinic patients will receive the Phase 1 intervention. Phase 2 of the project is a three-arm randomized trial in which 300 patients in each of the six participating sites will be enrolled and randomly assigned to one of three study arms. In Arm 1 (control arm), patients (n=100) will receive the clinic-wide intervention only. Patients (n=100) assigned to Arm 2 (intervention arm) will continue to receive the clinic-wide intervention plus a comprehensive client-centered intervention from two trained interventionists. The remaining 100 patients will be assigned to Arm 3 and will receive the clinic-wide intervention plus a brief client-centered intervention. The efficacy of the intervention will be assessed through data collection efforts tailored to each phase of the intervention. Phase 1 uses a pre-post comparison of clinic attendance rates before and during a clinic-wide intervention. Specifically, in Phase 1, the attendance rate for HIV primary care is currently being assessed via electronic medical records during the 12-month period before the clinic-wide intervention begins. This preintervention assessment is being collected for all patients who had at least one HIV primary care visit at the clinic during the preceding 12 months. This cohort of patients will be reassessed via electronic medical records during the 12-month intervention period. In addition, provider surveys will be administered PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Total burden (in hours) quarterly during Phase 1 and semiannually during Phase 2 to obtain information from primary care providers (MD, DO, nurse practitioner, physician assistant) about whether they talked to their patients about the importance of regular care. Patient exit interviews will be administered every other month to assess patient exposure to the theme slogan for the intervention and posters with messages to patients as well as receipt of brochures and brief verbal retention in care messages from clinicians and clinic staff that comprise the Phase 1 intervention. In Phase 2, participants will be enrolled over a period of 4–9 months to allow flexibility for faster or slower enrollment in the clinics. It is anticipated that most clinics will complete their enrollment in approximately 6 months. On a daily basis, clinic staff or the study coordinator will generate a list of patients who meet eligibility criteria based on attendance history. The list will be given to the study coordinator who will approach patients to ask about their interest in being screened for eligibility in the study. When patients agree to be screened for eligibility, the study coordinator will administer an eligibility screener. Patients who are found to be eligible will be enrolled in the project and all enrollees will complete a baseline survey (that will take approximately 30 minutes) before being randomized to one of the two intervention arms or the control arm. No follow-up surveys will be collected. The survey will be administered in a private setting at the clinic using Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI) in which respondents can read and listen via earphones to survey questions presented on the computer screen and respond directly into the computer.

dating violence behaviors in rigorous, controlled evaluations. In order 
to protect young people and build an evidence-base of effective 
prevention strategies, evaluation of additional programs is needed, 
including those programs currently in the field. Expect Respect Support 
Groups (provided by SafePlace) are currently in use in the Austin

uncontrolled program evaluation, suggesting a controlled evaluation is 
warranted to more rigorously examine program effects. The proposed 
study has one primary aim and two exploratory aims. The primary aim is 
to evaluate the effectiveness of Expect Respect Support Groups (ERSG) 
to prevent and reduce teen dating violence and increase healthy 
conflict resolution skills reported by at-risk male and female middle 
and high school students compared to at-risk students in control 
schools who do not receive ERSG. The exploratory aims are: (1) To 
evaluate whether or not the effectiveness of ERSG is enhanced by the 
presence of a universal, school-wide prevention program, and (2) To 
examine moderators and mediators of targeted and universal teen dating

will recruit 1800 students into the study (300 per year from 
intervention schools and 300 per year from control schools), of whom we

    There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
