Proposed Project
Development of CDC’s Act Against
AIDS Social Marketing Campaigns
Targeting Consumers—New—National
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis,
STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP,
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In an effort to refocus attention on
domestic HIV and AIDS, CDC launched
the Act Against AIDS (AAA) initiative
in 2009 with the White House and the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services. AAA is a multifaceted national
communication initiative that supports
reduction of HIV incidence in the U.S.
through multiple, concurrent
communication and education
campaigns for a variety of audiences
including, the general public
populations most affected by HIV and
health care providers. The campaigns
target consumers 18–64 years old and
include the following audiences: (1)
Men who have sex with men (MSM) of
all races; (2) Blacks/African Americans;
(3) Hispanics/Latinos; (4) Transgender
individuals; (5) HIV-positive
individuals; and (6) national audience
of all races. All campaigns support the
comprehensive HIV prevention efforts
of CDC and the National HIV/AIDS
Strategy (NHAS).
The goal of this study is to
qualitatively test messages and materials
that will be used in specific HIV social
marketing campaigns under the AAA
initiative that target consumers in order
to increase HIV testing rates, increase
HIV awareness and knowledge,
challenge commonly held
misperceptions about HIV, and promote
HIV prevention and risk reduction. The
intended use of the resulting data is for
CDC to revise and/or develop timely,
relevant, clear, and engaging materials
for these social marketing campaigns.
Qualitative methods will be used to
collect the data include focus groups,
intercept interviews, and in-depth
interviews. Qualitative methods provide
flexible in-depth exploration of the
participants’ perceptions and
experience; and the interviews yield
descriptions in the participants’ own
words. Qualitative methods also allow
the interviewer flexibility to pursue
relevant and important issues as they
arise during the discussion.
The participants will also participate
in a brief 15-minute brief survey. Data
collected by the brief survey will
provide a source of quantitative data
supplementing the qualitative data
collected during the interviews. The
brief survey will be administered to
participants before the individual indepth interview and focus group. The
survey will collect basic background
information about the participants’
knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about
HIV, HIV testing behaviors, risk
behaviors and demographics to enable
us to more fully describe the
participants.
There is no cost to participants other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 2,063.

Proposed Project
Developing Effective Messages about
Excessive Alcohol Consumption:
Formative Focus Groups with Adult
Drinkers and Abstainers—New—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Excessive alcohol use, including
binge drinking, is responsible for
approximately 88,000 deaths in the U.S.
annually—including one in 10 deaths
among working-age adults ages 20–64.
On average, for each death due to
alcohol, an individual’s life is cut short
by 30 years. Excessive alcohol use can
also lead to motor vehicle crashes;
intimate partner violence; and risky
sexual behaviors, increasing the risk of
HIV, other sexually transmitted
infections, and unintended pregnancy.
Over time, excessive alcohol use can
lead to alcohol dependence, liver
disease, high blood pressure, heart
attack, stroke, and certain kinds of

cancer. Furthermore, in 2010, excessive
alcohol use cost the United States
government $249 billion, or $2.05 per
drink.
Binge drinking (defined as four or
more drinks on an occasion for women
or five or more drinks on an occasion for
men) accounts for more than half of the
deaths and three-quarters of the
economic costs of excessive drinking.
More than 38 million U.S. adults binge
drink about four times a month,
averaging eight drinks per binge.
However, most (90%) binge drinkers are
not alcohol dependent, presenting an
opportunity for prevention through
messages that improve voluntary
compliance with recommended
guidelines. States and communities can
prevent binge drinking by supporting
evidence-based strategies, such as those
recommended by the Community
Preventive Services Task Force;
however, these strategies are underused.
Understanding the type of information
and messages that the larger
community—those who drink but not
excessively or abstain from drinking in
addition to those who engage in binge
drinking—respond to will be essential
in developing the communication
strategy for future outreach.
CDC plans to collect information
needed to improve understanding of
current knowledge, perceptions, and
attitudes related to excessive alcohol
consumption. Respondents will be 72
adults ages 21–64 years who agree to
participate in focus group discussions of
about 1.5 hours each. A total of 12 focus
groups are planned in three
geographically diverse locations with
appropriate facilities (four focus groups
per location). Each focus group will
involve six respondents and will be
guided by a professional moderator.
Through an initial screening process,
CDC will also collect the information
needed to assess knowledge,
