Proposed Project
Community-based Organization (CBO)
Monitoring and Evaluation Project
(CMEP) of RESPECT (CMEP–
RESPECT)—New—National Center for
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC began formally partnering with
CBOs in the late 1980s to expand the
reach of HIV prevention efforts. CBOs
were, and continue to be, recognized as
important partners in HIV prevention
because of their history and credibility
with target populations and their access
to groups that may not be easily
reached. Over time, CDCs program for
HIV prevention by CBOs has grown in
size, scope, and complexity to respond
to changes in the epidemic, including
the diffusion and implementation of
Effective Behavioral Interventions (EBIs)
for HIV prevention.
CDCs EBIs have been shown to be
effective under controlled research
environments, but there is limited data
on intervention implementation and
client outcomes in real-world settings
(as implemented by CDC-funded CBOs).
The purpose of CMEP–RESPECT is to
(a) assess the fidelity of the
implementation of the selected
intervention at the CBO; and (b)
improve the performance of CDCfunded CBOs delivering the RESPECT
intervention by monitoring changes in
clients’ self-reported attitudes and
beliefs regarding HIV/STD and
transmission risk behaviors after
participating in RESPECT. The project
also plans to conduct process
monitoring of the delivery of the
intervention in terms of recruitment,
retention, data collection, data entry,
and data management. Four CBOs will
receive supplemental funding under PS
10–1003 over a five-year period to
participate in CMEP–RESPECT.
CBOs will conduct outcome and
process monitoring of the project
between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2015.
They will recruit 400 men who are 18
years of age and older, report having
had anal sex with a man in the last 12
months, and are enrolled in RESPECT to
participate in CMEP–RESPECT. Each
participant will complete a 20 minute,
self administered, computer based
interview prior to their participation in
the RESPECT intervention and an 18
minute, self administered, computer
based interview at two follow-up time
points (90 and 180 days following the
RESPECT intervention) to assess their
HIV and STD related attitudes and
behavioral risks. CBOs will be expected
to retain 80% of these participants at
both follow-up time points.
Throughout the project, funded CBOs
will be responsible for managing the
daily procedures of CMEP–RESPECT to
ensure that all required activities are
performed, all deadlines are met, and
quality assurance plans, policies and
procedures are upheld. CBOs will be
responsible for participating in all CDCsponsored grantee meetings related to
CMEP–RESPECT.
Findings from this project will be
primarily used by the participating
CBOs. The CBOs may use the findings
to (a) Better understand if the outcomes
are different across demographic and
behavioral risk groups as well as agency
and program model characteristics; (b)
improve the future implementation,
management, and quality of RESPECT;
and (c) guide their overall HIV
prevention programming for MSM. CDC
and other organizations interested in
behavioral outcome monitoring of
RESPECT or similar HIV prevention
interventions can also benefit from
lessons learned through this project.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time.

Proposed Project
Developing a Sexual Consent Norms
Instrument—New—National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Sexual violence prevention strategies
are increasingly focusing on promoting
positive behavioral norms such as
safety, equality and respect in
relationships. However,
psychometrically validated measures do
not exist for programs to use in
evaluating their strategies. This project
provides an opportunity to significantly
contribute to the literature base and fill
a gap in evaluation tools by developing
a measure specific to consent norms for
use in three populations: College
students, late adolescents (ages 15–18)
and early adolescents (ages 11–14).
Sound measures of sexual consent
norms will improve program evaluation
efforts and potentially contribute to
understanding of effective prevention
strategies as well as the etiology of
sexual violence perpetration.
The development of these measures
will occur in four phases. All phases
will consist of Asian, Black or African
American, Hispanic or Latino and White
students. Phase one will consist of
multiple two-hour focus groups of 8–10
participants: 1 with prevention
educators, 8 with college students, 8
with late adolescents (ages 15–18) and
8 with early adolescents (ages 11–14).
Samples of college students and
adolescents will include Asian, Black or
African American, Hispanic or Latino,
and White students. Half of the college
student focus groups will be conducted
with students who grew up in the
United States; the other half will be
conducted with students who came to
the United States within the last five
years. Focus group participants will be
asked to comment on the proposed
instruments relevant to their group.
Prevention educators will comment on
all three instruments. Comments will be
used to refine the measures.
In phase two, 200 college students
and 100 adolescents will complete the
revised instrument appropriate to age
group, plus a set of existing instruments
that assess related variables, using
online data collection methods.
Phase three will consist of multiple
two-hour focus groups of 8–10
participants: 2 with prevention
educators, 1 with college students, 1
with late adolescents (ages 15–18) and
1 with early adolescents (ages 11–14).
Half of the college student focus groups
will be conducted with students who
grew up in the United States; the other
half will be conducted with students
who came to the United States in the
last five years. All focus group
participants will be asked to comment
on data collected with the revised
instruments in their age group.
Prevention educators will be asked to
comment on data from all age groups.
Comments will be used to refine the
instrument again, before administering
it to larger samples.
In phase four, the refined instruments
plus a set of existing instruments that
assess related variables will be
administered to 500 adolescents (200
early and 200 late). Data collection will
occur via an online survey. These data
will be used to examine the
psychometric properties of the new
instruments.
Findings will be used to demonstrate
the adequacy of new instruments for use
in racially and ethnically diverse
populations of college student and
adolescents by sexual assault prevention
programs funded through the Rape
Prevention and Education Program.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annual burden hours are 3005.
