Proposed Project
Assessing Community-Based
Organizations’ Partnerships with
Schools for the Prevention of HIV/
STDs—New—Division of Adolescent
and School Health (DASH), National
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis,
STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
HIV infections remain high among
young men who have sex with men
(YMSM). The estimated number of new
HIV infections increased between 2008
and 2010 both overall and among MSM
ages 13 to 24. Furthermore, sexual risk
behaviors associated with HIV, other
sexually transmitted disease (STD), and
pregnancy often emerge in adolescence.
For example, 2011 Youth Risk Behavior
Surveillance System (YRBSS) data
revealed 47.4% of U.S. high school
students reported having had sex, and
among those who had sex in the
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
previous three months, 39.8% reported
having not used a condom during last
sexual intercourse. In addition, 2001–
2009 YRBSS data revealed high school
students identifying as gay, lesbian, and
bisexual and those reporting sexual
contact with both males and females
were more likely to engage in sexual
risk-taking behaviors than heterosexual
students.
Given the disproportionate risk for
HIV among YMSM ages 13–24, it is
important to find ways to reach the
younger youth (i.e., ages 13–19) in this
range to decrease sexual risk behaviors
and increase health-promoting
behaviors such as routine HIV testing.
Schools provide one opportunity for
this. Because schools enroll more than
22 million teens (ages 14–19) and often
have existing health and social services
infrastructure, schools and their staff
members are well-positioned to connect
youth to a wide range of needed
services, including housing assistance,
support groups, and sexual health
services such as HIV testing. As a result,
CDC’s DASH has focused a number of
HIV and STD prevention efforts on
strategies that can be implemented in or
centered on schools.
However, conducting HIV and STD
prevention work (particularly work that
is designed to specifically meet the
needs of YMSM) can be challenging.
School is not always a welcoming
environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ)
youth. Harassment, bullying, and verbal
and physical assault are often reported,
and such unsupportive environments
and victimization among LGBTQ youth
are associated with a variety of negative
outcomes, including truancy, substance
use, poor mental health, HIV and STD
risk, and even suicide. Schools build
partnerships with community-based
organizations to increase access to
needed services of LGBTQ youth.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) requests a 3-year OMB
approval to conduct a new information
collection entitled, ‘‘Assessing
Community-Based Organizations’
Partnerships with Schools for the
Prevention of HIV/STDs.’’ The
information collection will allow CDC
to conduct assessment of selected staff
from community-based organizations
(CBOs) and health and/or wellness
centers (HWCs), including school-based
health centers, at participating schools
or to which YMSM from participating
schools are referred. This is part of the
HIV and STD prevention efforts that are
taking place in conjunction with local
education agencies (LEAs) funded by
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Division of

Adolescent and School Health (DASH)
under strategy 4 (School-Centered HIV/
STD Prevention for Young Men Who
Have Sex with Men) of PS13–1308:
Promoting Adolescent Health through
School-Based HIV/STD Prevention and
School-Based Surveillance. This
information collection will provide data
and reports for the three funded LEAs,
and will allow each LEA to identify
areas of the partnerships with CBOs and
HWCs that are working well and other
areas that will need additional
improvement. In addition, the findings
will allow CDC to determine the
potential impact of currently
recommended strategies and make
changes to those recommendations if
necessary.
This information collection system
involves administration of a web-based
questionnaire to no more than 60 total
staff members who work for up to 60
CBOs and HWCs that are participating
in the HIV/STD prevention project with
the three LEAs (Broward County Public
Schools in Broward County, Florida;
Los Angeles Unified School District in
Los Angeles, California; and San
Francisco Unified School District in San
Francisco, California) funded by CDC
cooperative agreement PS13–1308.
These LEAs represent all funded LEAs
under Strategy 4 of PS13–1308. The
questionnaire will include questions on
the following topics: Services offered by
the organization and the organization’s
relationships with the school district
and participating schools in the LEA.
The Web-based instrument will be
administered in 2015 and again in 2016
and 2018. These data collection points
coincide with the initiation of project
activities, the mid-way point, and
endpoint of the PS13–1308 cooperative
agreement. Although some respondents
may participate in the data collection in
multiple years, this is not a longitudinal
design and individual staff member
responses will not be tracked across the
years. No personally identifiable
information will be collected and data
will only be reported in the aggregate to
protect the CBOs and HWCs being
represented.
All respondents will receive informed
consent forms prior to participation in
the information collection. The consent
form explains the study and also
explains that participants may choose
not to complete the Web-based
questionnaire with no penalty and no
impact on their job or relationship with
the LEA. Participation is completely
voluntary.
For the Web-based questionnaire, the
estimated burden per response is about
60 minutes (1 hour). This estimate of
burden is an average and takes into
account that the length of the
questionnaire for each respondent will
vary slightly due to the skip patterns
that may occur with certain responses,
variations in the reading speed of
respondents, and variations in the time
required to collect the information
needed to complete the questionnaire.
The estimated annualized burden of
this data collection is 60 hours. There
are no costs to respondents other than
their time.
