Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of
information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance
Officer at (404) 639–4766 or send an
email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,
DC or by fax to (202) 395–5809. Written
comments should be received within 30
days of this notice.
Proposed Project
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
E:\FR\FM\08SEN1.SGM

46200
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 172 / Tuesday, September 8, 2009 / Notices
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
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. Short term qualitative
interviewing and cognitive research
techniques have previously proven
invaluable in the development of
scientifically valid and populationappropriate methods, interventions, and
instruments. Products from the
proposed 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 provide
new recommendations which cannot be
developed without formative research.
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
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). The implementors may be
health jurisdictions, non-governmental
organizations including academia, forprofit contractors, private health care
facilities, pharmacies, or a combination
of these agencies.
Respondents who will participate in
individual and group interviews
(qualitative, cognitive, and computerassisted 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.
Participants may be offered cash or gift
certificates as tokens of appreciation for
participating.
CDC estimates that the public will
participate in 10 different information
collection activities, each lasting
between 6–12 months. Participation of
respondents is always voluntary and
there is no cost to the respondents other
than their time. The estimated annual
burden hours requested is 46,516 hours.
