Proposed Project
National HIV Behavioral Surveillance
System ((NHBS), OMB Control No.
0920–0770, exp. 03/31/2017)—
Revision—National Center for HIV,
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC currently sponsors the
National HIV Behavioral Surveillance
(NHBS) System. The system is designed
to describe and monitor the HIV risk
behaviors, HIV seroprevalence and
incidence, and HIV prevention
experiences of persons at highest risk
for HIV infection in the United States.
NHBS awardees are state and local
health departments that provide HIVrelated services, conduct NHBS
interviews, and submit non-identifiable
information to CDC. To be eligible for
NHBS funding, a health department
must serve one of the 30 Metropolitan
Statistical Areas (MSA) in the U.S. with
high HIV prevalence. Twenty-two (22)
programs receive NHBS funding and
technical assistance from CDC at this
time. Burden estimates are based on
current availability of funds and
recruitment targets for 22 CDC-funded
NHBS awardees. If additional funding is
received to support the participation of
additional sites, CDC will submit a
Change Request to make the appropriate
adjustments to the total estimated
annualized burden.
Information collection is based on
rotating annual ‘‘cycles’’ of surveillance
with three populations: Men who have
sex with men (MSM), injecting drug
users (IDUs), and heterosexuals at
increased risk of HIV (HET). Screening
interviews and specialized behavioral
assessment interviews are conducted
once every three years with each
population: MSM in year 1, IDU in year
2, and HET in year 3. The target number
of annual interviews for each NHBSfunded awardee is 500. Due to
differences in the risk characteristics of
the MSM, IDU and HET groups, the
behavioral assessment is customized for
each group. In addition, an HIV test and
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
pre-test counseling session are offered to
all persons who participate in an NHBS
interview.
The surveillance system is focused on
behaviors directly related to HIV
transmission and those that are
amenable to intervention through
prevention programs. Information
collected through the NHBS System
allows CDC to: (a) Describe the
prevalence of and trends in risk
behaviors; (b) describe the prevalence of
and trends in HIV testing and HIV
infection; (c) describe the prevalence of
and trends in use of HIV prevention
services; and (d) identify met and unmet
needs for HIV prevention services in
order to inform health departments,
community-based organizations,
community planning groups and other
stakeholders. No other federal agency
systematically collects this type of
information from persons at risk for HIV
infection.
Venue-based sampling methods are
used to identify respondents for the
MSM information collection cycle and
respondent-driven sampling methods
are used to identify respondents for the
IDU cycle and the HET cycle. Consistent
with these methods, persons who
participate in the IDU and HET
interviews may be trained to recruit
additional respondents. Each person
who serves as a peer recruiter will be
asked to participate in a short debriefing
interview.
CDC requests OMB approval to
continue information collection for
three years, with revisions. Selected
questions in the eligibility screener and
the behavioral assessment interview
instruments will be updated to improve
usability and data quality, and new
questions will be added to provide
measures of high priority emerging
issues including pre-exposure
prophylaxis, treatment as prevention,
and opioid use and abuse. Lower
priority questions and repetitive content
will be deleted in order to manage
project cost and respondent burden.
There are no changes to the estimated
burden per response for any information
collection instrument. However, total
burden will decrease due to a reduction
in the number of health departments
funded to participate in the NHBS
System (from 25 to 22). Compared to the
previous period of OMB approval, this
will reduce the total estimated number
of interviews for each cycle from 12,500
(4,167 annualized) to 11,000 (3,667
annualized).
Information collected through the
NHBS has a substantial impact on the
design and delivery of targeted
prevention programs aimed at reducing
new HIV infections and evaluating

goals. Participation is voluntary and
there is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 8,735.

Proposed Project
National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System ((NHBS), OMB Control
No. 0920-0770, exp. 03/31/2017)--Revision--National Center for HIV,
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC currently sponsors the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance
(NHBS) System. The system is designed to describe and monitor the HIV
risk behaviors, HIV seroprevalence and incidence, and HIV prevention
experiences of persons at highest risk for HIV infection in the United
States. NHBS awardees are state and local health departments that
provide HIV-related services, conduct NHBS interviews, and submit non-
identifiable information to CDC. To be eligible for NHBS funding, a
health department must serve one of the 30 Metropolitan Statistical
Areas (MSA) in the U.S. with high HIV prevalence. Twenty-two (22)
programs receive NHBS funding and technical assistance from CDC at this
time. Burden estimates are based on current availability of funds and
recruitment targets for 22 CDC-funded NHBS awardees. If additional
funding is received to support the participation of additional sites,
CDC will submit a Change Request to make the appropriate adjustments to
the total estimated annualized burden.
Information collection is based on rotating annual ``cycles'' of
surveillance with three populations: Men who have sex with men (MSM),
injecting drug users (IDUs), and heterosexuals at increased risk of HIV
(HET). Screening interviews and specialized behavioral assessment
interviews are conducted once every three years with each population:
MSM in year 1, IDU in year 2, and HET in year 3. The target number of
annual interviews for each NHBS-funded awardee is 500. Due to
differences in the risk characteristics of the MSM, IDU and HET groups,
the behavioral assessment is customized for each group. In addition, an
HIV test and pre-test counseling session are offered to all persons who
participate in an NHBS interview.
The surveillance system is focused on behaviors directly related to
HIV transmission and those that are amenable to intervention through
prevention programs. Information collected through the NHBS System
allows CDC to: (a) Describe the prevalence of and trends in risk
behaviors; (b) describe the prevalence of and trends in HIV testing and
HIV infection; (c) describe the prevalence of and trends in use of HIV
prevention services; and (d) identify met and unmet needs for HIV
prevention services in order to inform health departments, community-
based organizations, community planning groups and other stakeholders.
No other federal agency systematically collects this type of
information from persons at risk for HIV infection.
Venue-based sampling methods are used to identify respondents for
the MSM information collection cycle and respondent-driven sampling
methods are used to identify respondents for the IDU cycle and the HET
cycle. Consistent with these methods, persons who participate in the
IDU and HET interviews may be trained to recruit additional
respondents. Each person who serves as a peer recruiter will be asked
to participate in a short debriefing interview.
CDC requests OMB approval to continue information collection for
three years, with revisions. Selected questions in the eligibility
screener and the behavioral assessment interview instruments will be
updated to improve usability and data quality, and new questions will
be added to provide measures of high priority emerging issues including
pre-exposure prophylaxis, treatment as prevention, and opioid use and
abuse. Lower priority questions and repetitive content will be deleted
in order to manage project cost and respondent burden. There are no
changes to the estimated burden per response for any information
collection instrument. However, total burden will decrease due to a
reduction in the number of health departments funded to participate in
the NHBS System (from 25 to 22). Compared to the previous period of OMB
approval, this will reduce the total estimated number of interviews for
each cycle from 12,500 (4,167 annualized) to 11,000 (3,667 annualized).
Information collected through the NHBS has a substantial impact on
the design and delivery of targeted prevention programs aimed at
reducing new HIV infections and evaluating

progress towards national public health goals. Participation is
voluntary and there is no cost to respondents other than their time.
The total estimated annualized burden hours are 8,735.
