Expected users of data from this collection effort include, but are not limited to CDC; other Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) agencies, such as the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; associations, such as LeadingAge (formerly the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging), National Center for Assisted Living, American Seniors Housing Association, Assisted Living Federation of America, and National Adult Day Services Association; universities; foundations; and other private sector organizations. Expected burden from data collection is 45 minutes per respondent for a total of 5,270 hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate. components of a planned new survey, the National Study of Long-Term Care Providers (NSLTCP). A two year clearance is requested. As background here are some details on the plans for the whole study, of which this data collection is two components. The entire NSLTCP is being designed to: (1) Broaden NCHS’ ongoing coverage of paid, regulated long-term care (LTC) providers; (2) merge with existing administrative data on LTC providers (i.e. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) data on nursing home, home health, and hospice care); (3) update data more frequently on LTC providers for which nationally representative administrative data do not exist; and (4) enable comparisons across LTC provider types and monitor the supply and use of these providers. The data will be collected in the 50 states and the District of Columbia from two types of LTC facilities: 9,450 RCFs and 4,601 ADSCs.

Proposed Project

    Web-Based HIV Behavioral Survey among Men who have Sex with Men--
New--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The purpose of the proposed information collection is to monitor 
behaviors related to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection among 
men who have sex with men (MSM), one of the groups at highest risk for 
acquiring HIV infection in the United States. Objectives of the 
proposed web-based behavioral survey of internet-using MSM are to (a) 
describe the prevalence of and trends in risk behaviors; (b) describe 
the prevalence of and trends in HIV testing; (c) describe the 
prevalence of and trends in use of HIV prevention services; and (d) 
identify met and unmet needs for HIV prevention services. This 
information will be used to monitor progress toward the National HIV/
AIDS Strategy objectives, and will be shared with health departments, 
community based organizations, community planning groups and other 
stakeholders to improve prevention services.
    This project also addresses the goals of CDC's HIV prevention 
strategic plan, specifically the goal of strengthening the national 
capacity to monitor the HIV epidemic to better direct and evaluate 
prevention efforts.
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention request approval for 
data collection for a period of 3 years. Data will be collected through 
anonymous online surveys completed by MSM in 56 U.S. jurisdictions (all 
50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, 
Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), with 
oversampling in 21

metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) with high AIDS prevalence.
    Internet-using MSM will be recruited through a direct marketing 
method that utilizes selective placement of banner advertisements on 
non-profit and privately owned Web sites. Individuals interested in 
learning more about the survey will click on the banner ad and will be 
directed to a one-minute screening interview to determine eligibility 
for participation in a behavioral assessment with an estimated duration 
of 14 minutes. The data from the assessment will provide estimates of 
behavior related to the risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted 
diseases, history of HIV testing, and use of HIV prevention services. 
No other federal agency collects this type of information nationally 
from MSM. These data are expected to have substantial impact on 
prevention program development and monitoring at the local, state, and 
national levels.
    CDC estimates that the proposed web-based behavioral assessment 
will involve, per year in the 56 U.S. jurisdictions and 21 oversampled 
MSAs, eligibility screening of 309,090 persons. Of these, an estimated 
139,090 either will not be interested in completing the behavioral 
assessment or will be ineligible after completing the screener and an 
estimated 170,000 eligible persons will participate in the behavioral 
assessment, resulting in a total of 510,000 eligible survey respondents 
and 417,270 ineligible screened persons during a 3-year period.
    Participation of respondents is voluntary and there is no cost to 
the respondents other than their time. The total estimated annual 
burden hours are 44,819.
