Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) estimates that over 1
million people in the United States are

living with HIV. Each year,
approximately 50,000 people in the
United States become newly infected.
Some groups are disproportionately
affected by this epidemic. For example,
between 2006 and 2009, there was an
almost 50% increase in the number of
new HIV infections among young Black
men who have sex with men (MSM). In
order to address these health disparities,
the CDC funded 34 community-based
organizations via cooperative agreement
PS11–1113 to implement HIV
prevention programs targeting young
MSM of color and young transgender
persons of color.
Building the capacity of community
based organizations (CBOs) is a priority
to ensure effective and efficient delivery
of HIV prevention services. Since the
late 1980s, CDC has been working with
CBOs to broaden the reach of HIV
prevention efforts. Over time, the CDC’s
program for HIV prevention has grown
in size, scope, and complexity,
responding to changes in approaches to
addressing the epidemic, including the
introduction of new guidances; effective
behavioral, biomedical, and structural
interventions; and public health
strategies. The Capacity Building
Branch within the Division of HIV/AIDS
Prevention (DHAP) provides national
leadership and support for capacity
building assistance (CBA) to help
improve the performance of the HIV
prevention workforce. One way that it
accomplishes this task is by funding
CBA providers via cooperative
agreement PS09–906 to work with
CBOS, health departments, and
communities to increase their
knowledge, skills, technology, and
infrastructure to implement and sustain
science-based, culturally appropriate
interventions and public health
strategies.

CBOs funded under PS11–1113 will
collaborate with CBA providers to
develop Strategic Plans for Enhanced
CBO Capacity. CBA providers will
conduct face-to-face field visits with the
CBOs utilizing a structured
organizational needs assessment tool
that was developed in collaboration
with CDC. This comprehensive tool
offers a mixed-methods data collection
approach consisting of checklists, closeended (quantitative) questions, and
open-ended (qualitative) questions.
CBOs will be asked to complete the tool
prior to the field visits in order to
maximize time during the visits for
discussion and strategic planning.
Findings from this project will be
used by the participating CBOs, the CBA
providers, and the Capacity Building
Branch. By the end of the project, the
participating CBOs will have CBA
strategic plans that will help guide the
success of their programs. Based on
these plans, the CBA providers (in
collaboration with CDC) will be able to
better identify and address those needs
most reported by CBOs. Finally, the
Capacity Building Branch will be able to
refine its approach to conceptualizing
and providing CBA on a national level
in the most cost-effective manner
possible.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The CBA providers will
complete their field visits in one day (8
hours). Eighteen of the participating
CBOs are dually funded under both
PS11–1113 and PS10–1003; they
participated in a similar process under
the earlier cooperative agreement.
Therefore, they will not need to
complete the full tool nor participate in
a full-day field visit; the burden will be
reduced for these respondents.

Background and Brief Description
The long-term goal of the proposed
project is to reduce violence against
healthcare workers. The objective of the
proposed study is two-fold: (1) To
examine healthcare facility compliance
with the New Jersey Violence
Prevention in Health Care Facilities Act,
and (2) to evaluate the effectiveness of
the regulations in this Act in reducing
assault injuries to workers. Our central
hypothesis is that facilities with high
compliance with the regulations will
have lower rates of employee violencerelated injury. NIOSH received OMB
approval (0920–0914) to evaluate the
legislation at hospitals and to conduct a
nurse survey. Data collection is ongoing
at the hospitals and for the nurse
survey. We are revising our existing ICR
to include 2 new respondents which are
nursing homes and home healthcare
aides.
First, we will conduct face-to-face
interviews with the Chairs of the
Violence Prevention Committees in 20
nursing homes who are in charge of
overseeing compliance efforts. The
purpose of the interviews is to measure
compliance to the state regulations
(violence prevention policies, reporting
systems for violent events, violence
prevention committee, written violence
prevention plan, violence risk
assessments, post incident response and
violence prevention training). The
details of their Workplace Violence
Prevention Program are in their existing
policies and procedures. Second, we
will also collect assault injury data from
nursing home’s violent event reports 3
years pre-regulation (2009–2011) and 3
years post-regulation (2012–2014).This
data is captured in existing OSHA logs
and is publicly available. The purpose
of collecting these data is to evaluate
changes in assault injury rates before
and after enactment of the regulations.

A contractor will conduct the
interviews, collect the nursing home’s
policies and procedures, and collect the
assault injury data. Third, we will also
conduct a home healthcare aide survey
(4000 respondents or 1333 annually).
This survey will describe the workplace
violence prevention training home
healthcare aides receive. Healthcare
workers are nearly five times more
likely to be victims of violence than
workers in all industries combined.
While healthcare workers are not at
particularly high risk for job-related
homicide, nearly 60% of all nonfatal
assaults occurring in private industry
are experienced in healthcare. Six states
have enacted laws to reduce violence
against healthcare workers by requiring
workplace violence prevention
programs. However, little is understood
about how effective these laws are in
reducing violence against healthcare
workers. We will test our central
hypothesis by accomplishing the
following specific aims:
1. Compare the comprehensiveness of
nursing home workplace violence
prevention programs before and after
enactment of the New Jersey regulations
in nursing homes; Working hypothesis:
Based on our preliminary research, we
hypothesize that enactment of the
regulations will improve the
comprehensiveness of nursing home
workplace violence prevention program
policies, procedures and training.
2. Describe the workplace violence
prevention training home healthcare
aides receive following enactment of the
New Jersey regulations; Working
hypothesis: Based on our preliminary
research, we hypothesize that home
healthcare aides receive at least 80% of
the workplace violence prevention
training components mandated in the
New Jersey regulations.
3. Examine patterns of assault injuries
to nursing home workers before and
after enactment of the regulations;
Working hypothesis: Based on our
preliminary research, we hypothesize
that rates of assault injuries to nursing
home workers will decrease following
enactment of the regulations.
Healthcare facilities falling under the
regulations are eligible for study
