requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance

e-mail to omb@cdc.gov. Send written

Proposed Project
Transgender HIV Behavioral Survey
(THBS)—Reinstatement with changes
(expired December 31, 2010)—National
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis,
STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention requests approval of a
Reinstatement with change of a
previously approved collection, 0920–
0794 Transgender HIV Behavioral
Survey (THBS)—(expired December 31,
2010), for a period of 3 years. The
previously approved project was a pilot.
The purpose of this request is to
conduct a behavioral survey among
male-to-female transgender persons to
assess prevalence of and trends in: (1)
Risk behaviors for HIV infection, (2) HIV
testing behaviors, and (3) exposure to,

use of, and impact of HIV prevention
services. The results of this data
collection will be used to assess
progress toward CDC’s goals to increase
the proportion of people who
consistently engage in behaviors that
reduce risk of HIV transmission or
acquisition; and to monitor behaviors
that increase the risk of HIV infection
(among those who are not infected).
For the proposed data collection, the
eligibility screener and the behavioral
assessment instruments used for the
previously approved pilot was
shortened and a recruiter debriefing
instrument added. The project activities
and methods will remain the same as
those used in the previously approved
pilot.
Data will be collected through inperson, computer-assisted interviews
conducted by trained interviewers in 5
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) or
MSA Divisions in the United States. The
MSAs chosen will be among those
currently participating in the National
HIV Behavioral Surveillance system (see
Federal Register dated January 19, 2007:
Vol. 72, No. 12, pages 2529–2530).
Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS)
will be used to recruit participants.
Except for a few initial recruits, persons
will be recruited by peers for
participation in THBS. A screener
questionnaire will be used to determine
eligibility for participation. In one year,
approximately 1,100 individuals will be
approached and screened (through a 5minute interview) for eligibility to
participate. Approximately 1,000
individuals are expected to be eligible
and participate in the 40-minute
behavioral assessment interview each
year. At the end of the interview, the
interviewer will train the respondent to
recruit up to five peers. Each respondent
who agrees to be a peer recruiter and
who returns to the field site will be
debriefed using a computer-assisted,
interviewer-administered recruiter
debriefing instrument. The debriefing
instrument will collect information
about the number of coupons the
recruiter has distributed, whether
anyone had refused the coupons, the
race and ethnicity of those refusing
coupons and the reason for refusal. This
information is collected to improve
response rates. Approximately 600
respondents are expected to participate
as peer recruiters, about 500 of whom
will return to be debriefed through a 2minute interview. The total annualized
burden is 776 hours. Participation of
respondents is voluntary and there is no
cost to the respondents other than their
time.

Background and Brief Description
Tobacco use remains the leading
preventable cause of death in the United
States, causing over 443,000 deaths each
year and resulting in an annual cost of
more than $96 billion in direct medical
expenses. Tobacco control is a top
priority for two of CDC’s programs. The
first is the National Tobacco Control
Program (NTCP), which is administered
by the Office on Smoking and Health.
The second is the National
Comprehensive Cancer Control Program
(NCCCP), which is administered by the
Division of Cancer Prevention and
Control. Both programs provide funding
and technical support for public health
programs in states, the District of
Columbia, tribes/tribal organizations,
and U.S. territories and Pacific Island
jurisdictions.
CDC recognizes the need for increased
collaboration between Comprehensive
Cancer Control (CCC) programs and
Tobacco Control Programs (TCP).
Toward this end, CDC plans to conduct
a study of current partnership efforts
involving NCCCP awardees and NTCP
awardees. Information will be collected
to improve understanding of the ways in
which CCCs and TCPs may collaborate
to address cancer and tobacco control,
and how these programs utilize their
respective networks to cross-promote
activities. The study will be conducted
in seven states that: (1) Are funded
through both the NCCCP and the NTCP,
and (2) have an established relationship
between the two programs.

Respondents for the Study of
Comprehensive Cancer Control and
Tobacco Control Program Partnerships
will be state health department leaders,
CCC and TCP staff (e.g., program
directors, evaluation specialists, media
specialists, quitline coordinators), and
other stakeholders, such as coalition
members. Information will be collected
through in-person interviews involving
approximately 15 respondents in each
state. Respondents will be asked about
key aspects of their program’s structure,
activities, and collaborative efforts. Each
interview will last approximately 45
minutes to one hour. CDC will provide
each participating state with guidance
and worksheets to prepare for site visits
and key informant interviews.
OMB approval will be requested for
one year. The information to be
collected will be used to develop
examples of successful strategies used
by selected CCCs and TCPs to crosscollaborate and cross-promote
programs/services, and to identify new
areas of potential collaboration that may
be shared with CDC, other Federal
agencies, and other CCC and TCP states
for replication. This study is one
component of a larger, ARRA-funded
effort to compare the effectiveness of
traditional evidence-based tobacco
cessation interventions to newer and
innovative interventions used by CCC
programs.
The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 113. There are no costs
to respondents other than their time.
