    Proposed Project: Multisite Evaluation of the In Community Spirit 
Program--Prevention of HIV/AIDS for Native/American Indian and Alaska 
Native Women Living in Rural and Frontier Indian Country (NEW)--OMB No. 
0990-NEW--Office on Women's Health (OWH).
    Abstract: The Office on Women's Health (OWH), within the Office of 
the Assistant Secretary for Health, will conduct the Multisite 
Evaluation of the In Community Spirit Program--Prevention of HIV/AIDS 
for Native/American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) Women Living in 
Rural and Frontier Indian Country (In Community Spirit Program). The In 
Community Spirit Program is an initiative comprising three types of 
program components being implemented with women in AI/AN communities 
for HIV prevention: (1) Community awareness, (2) capacity building, and 
(3) prevention education. The multisite evaluation will provide data on 
the content and context of programs and the outcomes of program 
activities on participant knowledge and behavior related to sexual 
health.
    The multisite evaluation is comprised of two main activities across 
three program components: (1) Surveys and (2) key informant interviews. 
There are two versions of key informant interviews: baseline and 
follow-up. There are also two versions of the survey: (1) Community 
Awareness Version for administration with women targeted through the 
community awareness activities and (2) Prevention Education Version to 
be administered to women who receive prevention education through the 
program.
    The average annual respondent burden is estimated below. The 
estimate reflects the average annual number of respondents, the average 
annual number of responses, the time it will take for each response, 
and the average annual burden across 3 years of OMB clearance, which 
includes 2 years of data collection.
