BILLING CODE 4150–42–P
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Background and Brief Description
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention
CDC is requesting OMB approval to
administer surveys to respondents who
plan HIV/AIDS day awareness activities
during the next 3 years. The name and
dates for the annual HIV/AIDS
awareness day events are: National
Black HIV Awareness Day—February
7th; National Native HIV/AIDS
Awareness Day—March 20th; National
Asian and Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS
Awareness Day—May 19th; and
National Latino AIDS Awareness Day—
October 15th. The purpose of the
surveys is to assess the number and
types of HIV/AIDS prevention activities
planned and implemented in
observance of each of the four noted
HIV/AIDS awareness day events.
After the date that each event occurs,
the event planners will be asked to
respond to a computer-based survey to
collect qualitative data. Event planners
will access the designated website to
enter information about their particular
event and identify the kind of events
they planned. The survey results are
necessary to understand how and where
HIV/AIDS awareness activities are
planned and implemented.
These survey results will provide
important information that will be used
to develop HIV/AIDS prevention
activities. The computer-based surveys
take up to one hour. The surveys are a
single activity and will not require a
follow-up. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.
