Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 114 / Wednesday, June 13, 2012 / Notices
(NHLBI), the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) has submitted to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) a
request for review and approval of the
information collection listed below.
This proposed information collection
was previously published in the Federal
Register in Volume 77 on February 23,
2012, page 10756, and allowed 60-days
for public comment. Six written
comments were received, one of which
was shared by two signatories. One
comment was a personal opinion
regarding the current federal blood
donation policy for men who have sex
with men. Two of the written comments
supported the study goals and design as
proposed. Three of the written
comments suggested changes to some of
the questions, or asked whether the
scope of the study could be expanded.
As a result, content pertaining to the
sexual histories of survey respondents
was expanded to inform the broader
context for the current policy for men
who have sex with men. The purpose of
this notice is to allow an additional 30
days for public comment. The National
Institutes of Health may not conduct or
sponsor, and the respondent is not
required to respond to, an information
collection that has been extended,
revised, or implemented on or after
October 1, 1995, unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Proposed Collection: Title: Opinions
and Perspectives about the Current
Blood Donation Policy for Men Who
Have Sex with Men. Type of
Information Collection Request: New.
Need and Use of Information Collection:
The current policy for blood donation in
the U.S. with respect to men who have
sex with men (MSM) is that any man
who discloses having had sex with
another man since 1977 is deferred
indefinitely from donating. However,
data from donors who have tested
disease marker positive and were
interviewed regarding potential risk
factors suggest that some individuals
continue to donate blood without
disclosing MSM activity in
contravention of the policy. In the 1980s
there were surveillance studies of risk
factors among donors who were
determined to be HIV positive in predonation testing: Results indicated
MSM behavior to be a risk factor for
56% of male donors. In addition, as part
of the Retrovirus Epidemiology Donor
Study (REDS), when anonymously
surveyed by paper and pencil mailed
surveys, 1.2% of male blood donors
reported MSM behavior.
In a 2007 study conducted in Sweden,
19% of 334 MSM who responded to a
survey that was included in a monthly
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:45 Jun 12, 2012
Jkt 226001
publication targeted to the Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT)
community reported donating blood at
least one-time since 1985. The authors
suggested that MSM donors may be
motivated by perceived discrimination,
particularly younger MSM.
Recent publications from the United
Kingdom have reported what are likely
the only population-based assessment of
non-compliance with a similar
restriction on blood donation for the
MSM population as in the U.S.; this
study was conducted in 2009 and 2010
and also estimated opinions about and
self-reported intended compliance with
the MSM deferral policy in place in the
United Kingdom at that time. Note, the
policy in the United Kingdom was
modified in November 2011 and MSM
in the United Kingdom are now allowed
to donate if they have not been sexually
active for a one-year period before
donation.
Data similar to those collected in
Sweden and the United Kingdom are
not available for the U.S. Potential
changes to the current MSM policy for
blood donation requires additional data,
including information about motivating
factors and compliance with the current
MSM policy or a modified policy in the
MSM population and in current blood
donors. Speculative analyses have been
conducted but do not directly address
important considerations related to this
policy such as the current level of
compliance (in the MSM population)
and non-compliance (in the blood donor
population). While many scientists and
ethicists have expressed opinions in
support or against modification of the
current MSM policy for blood donation,
there is a lack of data that directly
addresses important aspects of this
policy debate. The proposed study will
build off the studies conducted in
Sweden and the United Kingdom and
will collect directly relevant
information on this topic by estimating
the prevalence of compliance and noncompliance with the current MSM
policy and assessing motivations for
blood donation in the U.S. MSM
population. Three research aims drive
this study’s protocols to provide
valuable evidence on the motivations
and compliance behaviors in the MSM
and blood donor populations. The four
geographic areas where the study will
be conducted include the State of
Connecticut, Western Pennsylvania,
Southern Wisconsin, and the Bay Area
of California.
The first aim seeks to assess opinions
about and common themes within the
MSM population with respect to blood
donation and the current MSM policy.

Sfmt 4703

Specifically, within a population of selfidentified MSM in the U.S., what
common themes can be identified
regarding knowledge and opinions of
current blood donation eligibility, and
would opinions, including self-reported
intended compliance, improve if the
current MSM policy were changed to a
deferral of a defined shorter duration?
Another objective is to use what is
learned in the focus groups to help
select proper venues for identifying
MSM who might be interested in
participating in a comprehensive survey
to assess compliance and noncompliance with the current MSM
policy (see second aim).
The second aim seeks to assess
compliance and non-compliance in the
MSM population with the current MSM
blood donation policy by confidentially
surveying two populations. One survey
will be conducted in the MSM
community to provide better estimates
of compliance and non-compliance with
the current policy and a second survey
will be conducted in male blood donors
to evaluate how frequently men who
have had sex with another man since
1977 are donating blood. The surveys
will be conducted using an instrument
that includes common content to
maximize the comparability of the
responses. Both surveys will be
conducted using Internet-based
techniques and currently available
software (SurveyGizmo,
www.surveygizmo.com).
The third aim seeks to assess
motivations for donating in the group of
self-identified MSM who are active
blood donors in the U.S. Participants
from the four geographic areas who
report donating blood or the intention to
donate will be asked to participate in
confidential qualitative telephone
interviews to identify their reasons for
donating or wanting to donate blood.
