Background and Brief Description
The daily use of specific antiretroviral
medications by persons without human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
infection, but at high risk of sexual or
injection exposure to HIV has been
shown to be a safe and effective HIV
prevention method. The Food and Drug
Administration approved the use of
Truvada® for preexposure prophylaxis
(PrEP) in July 2012 and CDC has issued
clinical practice guidelines for its use.
With approximately 50,000 new HIV
infections each year, increasing rates of

continuing severe disparities in HIV
infection among African-American men
and women, incorporation of PrEP into
HIV prevention is important. However,
as a new prevention tool in very early
stages of introduction and use, there is
much we need to learn about how to
implement PrEP in a real world setting
and the need to develop and validate
new measurement tools to capture this
information.
CDC is requesting Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to collect data over a threeyear period that will be used to (1)
assess the utility of new measures
developed or adapted to collect
information related to this new
intervention (PrEP) and (2) evaluate
community contextual factors that may
impact the acceptability and successful
introduction of a new HIV prevention
method. The project will be conducted
in communities in each of four cities
where PrEP has recently become
available through a local community
health center.
Once per year for three years, two
surveys will be conducted: (1) A
community-based survey to be
administered to 40 persons per city
approached in public venues in the
catchment areas of the PrEP clinics, and
(2) a key stakeholder survey to be
administered to 10 community HIV
leaders nominated by PrEP clinic staff
and HIV community-based
organizations in the clinic communities.

Background and Brief Description
Hospital preparedness for responding
to public health emergencies including
mass casualty incidents and epidemics
have become a major national challenge.
Following the World Trade Center
attack of September 11, Hurricane
Katrina of 2005, and the 2011 Alabama
tornadoes, there is continued and
heightened interest of using surveys to
assess hospital readiness for various
disasters and mass casualty incidents.
Current patterns in terrorist activity
increase the potential for civilian
casualties from explosions. Explosions,
particularly in confined spaces, can
inflict severe multisystem injuries on
numerous patients and produce unique
challenges to health care providers and
the systems that support them. The U.S.
healthcare system and its civilian
healthcare providers have minimal
experience in treating patients with
explosion-related injuries and
deficiencies in response capability
could result in increased morbidity and
mortality and increased stress and fear
in the community. Additionally, the
surge of patients after an explosion
typically occurs within minutes of the
event and can quickly overwhelm
PO 00000
Frm 00070
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
nearby hospital resources. This
potential for many casualties and an
immediate surge of patients may stress
and limit the ability of EMS systems,
hospitals, and other health care facilities
to care for critically injured victims.
CDC requests a 6-month Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to collect readiness and
preparedness data. The purpose of this
project will be to (1) develop and pilot
an interview tool to assess hospital
readiness for a rapid surge of large
numbers of casualties; (2) develop
minimum standards into the assessment
tool to enable a review or an evaluation
of hospital readiness and (3) develop
strategies for dissemination and
implementation of the interview tool.
A national sample of randomly
selected hospitals will be selected for
participation. Four hundred Chief
Executive Officers (CEOs) from sampled
hospitals will be mailed an introductory
letter, contacted by telephone a few
days later and asked if the hospital’s
emergency preparedness coordinator/
manager can complete the survey. The
time to read and respond to the
introductory letter is expected to take 17
minutes. The emergency preparedness
coordinator/manager will complete the
main survey online using the survey
Web site with a goal of 320 completed
surveys. CDC estimated the total time
required to complete the survey as two
hours, including reading the
instructions. The survey covers hospital
preparedness efforts across departments,
number of staff, participation in training
and exercises, agreements with other
responders, and hospital characteristics.
After data are gathered from the
survey, responses will be compiled,
analyzed and summarized. The results
will be used to develop an
implementation manual, training
