SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: Due to advances in
treatment, more and more persons living
with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) can live long
and healthy lives. Many PLWHA also
have the desire, capability, and stamina
to contribute to the workforce.
Employment provides economic, social,
and psychological benefits. Research
suggests that for many PLWHA,
employment, like stable housing, can be
positively associated with improved
physical and mental health, and it may
also serve as a preventative measure to
the spread of HIV/AIDS.
HIV/AIDS service providers are
recognizing that employment is a key
component of serving the whole person.
Some are integrating employment
assistance, in a variety of forms, into
their service menus. To effectively
provide such services, it is important
that providers understand HIV/AIDS in
the context of employment. There are
different approaches to helping clients
who are ready to work identify and
achieve their related goals. The goal of
Getting to Work: A Training Curriculum
for HIV/AIDS Service Providers and
Housing Providers (Getting to Work or
GTW) is to increase the capacity of
service providers to enhance
opportunities for employment and
retention of PLWHA and/or those at risk
of living with HIV/AIDS.
In the fall of 2013, ODEP contracted
with the IMPAQ team to conduct this
study to address the following
questions:
1. What knowledge did the training
participants (individuals) acquire about
HIV/AIDS and employment?
2. What new attitudes, behavior, or
actions related to employing PLWHA
did training participants (individuals)
develop?
3. What longer-term individual and
organizational changes occurred related
to HIV/AIDS and employment as a
result of participating in the training?
ODEP requests clearance to conduct,
through the IMPAQ team, two principal
research activities:
D Web-based survey of all GTW trainees
(approximately 1,000 individuals who
are staff or managers of housing
providers)
D 8 focus groups of housing provider
staff and management
This information collection is being
conducted by the Office of Disability
Employment Policy (ODEP), which was
authorized by Congress in the
Department of Labor’s FY 2001
appropriation.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:57 Aug 29, 2014
Jkt 232001
The survey of trainees will take place
over a period of approximately four
months. The survey will be
administered to all individuals who
complete the GTW training. The survey
will be administered via the web and
recipients will be notified about the
survey by mail, with email reminders.
Each survey will take about 30 minutes,
on average, to complete, and an 80%
response rate is expected.
All on-site data collection (focus
groups) will take place over a period of
approximately four months. Focus
groups will be conducted at 8 housing
provider facilities. Each focus group
will involve approximately 9 customers
in each group, and reasonable
accommodations for disabilities will be
provided for all attending participants,
as needed. Focus groups will last
approximately 90 minutes and all
participants will receive $30 for their
attendance.
II. Desired Focus of Comments:
Currently, the Department of Labor is
soliciting comments concerning the
above data collection for the Evaluation
of GTW. Comments are requested to:
D Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
D evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
D enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
D minimize the burden of the
information collection on those who are
to respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submissions of responses.
III. Current Actions: At this time, the
Department of Labor is requesting
comments on its proposal to conduct (1)
one survey of all GTW trainees, (2) focus
groups with trainees at 8 housing
provider facilities, for the Evaluation of
GTW.
Type of review: New information
collection request.
