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 is to improve the
performance of CDC-funded CBOs
delivering particular individual- or
group-level behavioral interventions.
This is done by monitoring changes in
clients’ self-reported HIV transmission
risk behaviors after participating in the
intervention. CMEP also assesses the
fidelity of the implementation of the
selected intervention at the CBO. The
project also plans to conduct process
monitoring of the delivery of the
intervention in terms of recruitment,
retention, and data collection, entry,
and management. Four CBOs will
receive supplemental funding under PS
10–1003 over a five-year period to
participate in CMEP–WILLOW.
From July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2015,
CBOs will conduct outcome and process
monitoring for this project. Each agency
will recruit 400 women living with HIV
who are 18 years of age and older, have
known their positive HIV status for at
least 6 months, and are enrolled in the
WILLOW intervention to participate in
CMEP–WILLOW. Each participant will
complete a 20 minute, self
administered, computer based interview
prior to their participation in the
WILLOW intervention and an 18
minute, self administered, computer
based interview at two follow-up time
points (90- and 180-days following the
WILLOW intervention) to assess their
HIV-related attitudes and behavioral
risks. CBOs will be expected to retain
80% of these participants at both
follow-up interviews.
Throughout the project, funded CBOs
will be responsible for managing the
daily procedures of CMEP–WILLOW 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–WILLOW. The total estimated
annual burden hours are 338.

Reduction Act Review
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, CDC’s 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. Women Involved in
Life Learning from Other Women
(WILLOW) is an EBI that focuses on
health education and social skills
building among women living with HIV.
CDC’s EBIs have been shown to be
effective under controlled research

collection activity is proposed through
this project to collect information about
behavioral and clinical outcomes from
injection drug users, high-risk
heterosexuals, and HIV-positive
individuals who access medical care in
six of the 12 ECHPP-funded MSAs.
These MSAs are: District of Columbia;
Houston, TX; Los Angeles, CA; Miami,
FL; New York City, NY; and San
Francisco, CA. The purpose of this new
data collection activity is to monitor
community-level outcomes of ECHPP
and supplement HIV surveillance data
routinely collected in these areas.
Outcome data will be collected in these
MSAs at two time points from 2011 to
2014.
Two surveys will be used in this
project: (1) A community-based survey
to be administered to injection drug
users and high-risk heterosexuals, and
(2) a clinic-based survey to be
administered to HIV-positive
individuals seeking care at clinics that
provide HIV-related services. Both
surveys will collect data on
demographics, sexual behavior, alcohol
and drug use history, HIV testing
experiences, exposure to HIV
prevention messages, and participation
in HIV prevention activities. The clinic
survey will also include questions about
HIV treatment, treatment adherence,
sources of care, and medical outcomes.
For the community survey, we intend to
recruit and screen 1500 injection drug
users and 1500 high-risk heterosexuals
using venue-based, convenience
sampling methods. For the clinic
survey, we intend to recruit and screen
2400 HIV-positive individuals seeking
HIV care at medical clinics. A total of
1200 eligible injection drug users (age ≥
18 yrs), 1200 eligible high-risk
heterosexuals (age 18 to 60 yrs), and
2400 eligible HIV-positive individuals
(age ≥ 18 yrs) will be surveyed. CDC will
collaborate with local health department
staff and outreach workers in each MSA
to identify venues and clinics
appropriate for data collection. Surveys
will be administered by trained, local
interviewers. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.

BILLING CODE 4163–18–P
Background and Brief Description
The scope of the HIV epidemic in the
United States is significant, particularly
in large urban areas where HIV/AIDS
cases are concentrated. In 2006,
approximately 56,000 new HIV
infections occurred in the U.S.,
demonstrating the need to expand
targeted HIV prevention efforts. In 2010,
twelve U.S. metropolitan statistical
areas (MSAs) received funding, through
their city and state health departments,
to conduct the Enhanced
Comprehensive HIV Prevention
Planning (ECHPP) project. These twelve
MSAs (Atlanta, GA; Baltimore, MD;
Chicago, IL; Dallas, TX; District of
Columbia; Houston, TX; Los Angeles,
CA; Miami, FL; New York City, NY;
Philadelphia, PA; San Francisco, CA;
and San Juan, PR) had the highest AIDS
prevalence rates in the U.S. at the end
of 2007, representing 44% of all U.S.
AIDS cases. The purpose of ECHPP is to
enhance existing HIV prevention
services in these high prevalence areas
and provide an optimal mix of
evidence-based behavioral, biomedical,
and structural interventions to have
maximum impact on the HIV/AIDS
epidemic at the community level.
ECHPP goals are consistent with CDC’s
Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention
Strategic Plan for HIV Prevention and
with the National HIV/AIDS Strategy:
(1) Prevent new HIV infections, (2)
increase linkage to, and impact of,
prevention and care services for HIVpositive individuals, and (3) reduce
HIV-related health disparities.
To evaluate ECHPP, data will be
collected through both existing CDC
data sources and through new data
collection activities. Existing CDC data
sources will include HIV surveillance
systems (e.g., National HIV Behavioral
Surveillance System, Medical
Monitoring Project) that routinely
collect information about behavioral
and clinical outcomes from at-risk target
populations in the 12 MSAs. A new data
