Proposed Project
Data Collection Through Web Based
Surveys for Evaluating Act Against
AIDS Social Marketing Campaign
Phases Targeting Consumers (Generic
ICR, OMB# 0920–0920, Expires 2/28/
2015)—Extension—National Center for
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In response to the continued HIV
epidemic in our country, CDC has
launched Act Against AIDS, a 5-year,
multifaceted communication campaign
to reduce HIV incidence in the United
States. CDC plans to release the
campaign in phases, with some of the
phases running concurrently. Each
phase of the campaign will use mass
media and direct-to-consumer channels
to deliver HIV prevention and testing
messages. Some components of the
campaign will be designed to provide

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 32 / Wednesday, February 18, 2015 / Notices
basic education and increase awareness
of HIV/AIDS among the general public,
and others will be targeted to specific
subgroups or communities at greatest
risk of infection. The current study
addresses the need to assess the
effectiveness of these social marketing
messages aimed at increasing HIV
awareness and delivering HIV
prevention and testing messages among
at-risk populations.
This extension of an ongoing study
will evaluate the Act Against AIDS
(AAA) social marketing campaign aimed
at increasing HIV/AIDS awareness,
increasing prevention behaviors, and
improving HIV testing rates among
consumers. A total of 36,000
respondents were originally approved
for this 3-year data collection. Since the
original approval date, 4,250
respondents have participated in the
surveys. The number of remaining
respondents for the 3-year period is
31,750. We anticipate screening
approximately 52,915 individuals
annually to achieve 10,583 respondents
annually. The information collected
from each of the data collections were
used to evaluate specific AAA campaign
phases. We are requesting additional
time to continue to survey other AAA
target audiences and campaign phases
and measuring exposure to each phase
of the campaign and interventions
implemented under AAA.
Depending on the target audience for
the campaign phase, the study screener
will vary. The study screener may
address one or more of the following
items: race/ethnicity, sexual behavior,
and sexual orientation. Each survey will
have a core set of items asked in all
rounds, as well as a module of questions
relating to specific AAA activities and
communication initiatives.
Survey respondents will be selected
from a combination of sources,
including a national opt-in email list
sample and respondent lists generated
by partnership organizations (e.g., the
National Urban League, the National
Medical Association). Participants will
self-administer the survey at home on
personal computers. There is no cost to
the respondents other than their time.
The total number of estimated annual
burden hours is 7,056.
