Using a system dynamics approach, CDC also plans to conduct simulation modeling which will integrate the cost data with other data to predict selected chronic disease outcomes and their associated monetary impacts under various scenarios. CDC and NIH have previously collaborated on the development of analytic tools for system dynamics modeling under more limited conditions. The collection and analysis of actual cost data from CTG awardees will support the expansion and refinement of these analytic tools with respect to short-, intermediate- and long-term outcomes for large-scale, community-based programs that employ multiple policy and environmental change strategies. Information to be collected from participating CTG awardees includes the interventions to be implemented; expenditures for labor, personnel, consultants, materials, travel, services, and administration; in-kind contributions; and partner organizations and their expenditures. Information will be collected electronically via a userfriendly, Web-based CTG Cost Study Instrument (CTG–CSI). Respondents will be a subset of 30 out of 35 CTG awardees funded specifically for implementation activities. CDC will select awardees for participation in the cost data collection based on a list of priority interventions appropriate for cost analysis. Results of this data collection and planned analyses, including improvements in CDC’s analytic and modeling tools, will be used to assist CTG awardees, CDC, and HHS in choosing intervention approaches for particular populations that are both beneficial to public health and costeffective. OMB approval is requested for the first three years of a five-year project. CDC requests OMB approval by June 1, 2012, to initiate data collection on July 1, 2012.

Proposed Project Formative Research for the Development of CDC’s Act Against AIDS Social Marketing Campaigns Targeting Consumers—New—National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description More than 1 million people are estimated to be living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in the United States. Estimates of HIV incidence released by the CDC indicate PO 00000 Frm 00080 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 that 56,300 people became infected with HIV in 2006. HIV disproportionately affects men, particularly men who have sex with men (MSM) and AfricanAmerican men. HIV is also a real threat to other communities at high risk such as the Hispanic/Latino community. In response to the continued HIV epidemic in our country, CDC launched Act Against AIDS (AAA) in 2009, a 5year, multifaceted communication campaign consisting of several campaigns targeting various high-risk populations. The overall goals of AAA are to increase HIV/AIDS awareness and reduce HIV incidence in the United States. Each AAA campaign uses mass media and direct-to-consumer channels to deliver HIV prevention, awareness, and testing messages. Some campaigns are designed to provide basic education and increase awareness of HIV/AIDS among the general public, and others are targeted to specific subgroups or communities at greatest risk for HIV infection, including MSM, African Americans, HIV-positive individuals and other minority populations. As part of the overarching AAA campaign, CDC requests OMB approval to collect information from consumer groups over a three-year period. This study will encompass four rounds of data collection utilizing interviews, focus groups, and brief surveys. The E:\FR\FM\07MRN1.SGM 07MRN1

other data to predict selected chronic disease outcomes and their
