For example, each study will seek to identify ways to improve programmatic activities along the continuum of HIV prevention, treatment and care for different populations residing in different geographic settings with greatest burden of HIV. The target populations for studies included in this extended Generic ICR include, but are not limited to: Persons living with HIV who are in treatment; persons living with HIV who are out of treatment and who may or may not be seeking treatment at healthcare facilities; persons at high risk for HIV acquisition (HIV negative) and HIV transmission (HIV positive); persons from groups at high risk for HIV including gay, bisexual and other MSM, transgender persons, and injection and non-injection drug users; persons from racial and ethnic minorities; and healthcare providers or other professionals who provide HIV prevention, care and treatment services. Other populations may include individuals who provide non-HIV services or otherwise interact with persons living with HIV or persons at risk for HIV acquisition. Studies will only provide local contextual information about the barriers and facilitators to HIV prevention, care, and treatment experienced by specific communities at risk for acquiring HIV infection, by HIVpositive persons across the HIV care continuum, and by organizations or individuals providing HIV prevention, care, treatment, and related support services.

Proposed Project

    Using Qualitative Methods to Understand Issues in HIV Prevention, 
Care and Treatment in the United States (OMB No. 0920-1091; expires 
December 31, 2018)--Extension--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral 
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The CDC's National Center on HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB 
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) seeks a 
three year extension for an existing Generic information collection 
request (Generic ICR) entitled, ``Using Qualitative Methods to 
Understand Issues in HIV Prevention, Care and Treatment in the United 
States'' (OMB Number: 0920-1091). Specific studies conducted under this 
extended Generic ICR will be consistent with the national HIV 
prevention goals, the CDC Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) 
Strategic Plan, and DHAP's High-impact HIV Prevention approach.
    The purposes for each data collection study supported under this 
extended Generic ICR will be to understand specific barriers and 
facilitators to local HIV prevention, care and treatment in the United 
States and territories. For example, each study will seek to identify 
ways to improve programmatic activities along the continuum of HIV 
prevention, treatment and care for different populations residing in 
different geographic settings with greatest burden of HIV.
    The target populations for studies included in this extended 
Generic ICR include, but are not limited to: Persons living with HIV 
who are in treatment; persons living with HIV who are out of treatment 
and who may or may not be seeking treatment at healthcare facilities; 
persons at high risk for HIV acquisition (HIV negative) and HIV 
transmission (HIV positive); persons from groups at high risk for HIV 
including gay, bisexual and other MSM, transgender persons, and 
injection and non-injection drug users; persons from racial and ethnic 
minorities; and healthcare providers or other professionals who provide 
HIV prevention, care and treatment services. Other populations may 
include individuals who provide non-HIV services or otherwise interact 
with persons living with HIV or persons at risk for HIV acquisition.

barriers and facilitators to HIV prevention, care, and treatment 
experienced by specific communities at risk for acquiring HIV 
infection, by HIV-positive persons across the HIV care continuum, and 
by organizations or individuals providing HIV prevention, care,

    Data collection methods used in any of the specific studies 
primarily will consist of rapid qualitative assessment methodologies, 
such as semi-structured and in-depth qualitative interviews, focus 
groups; direct observations; document reviews; and short structured 
surveys. Data will be analyzed using

well-established qualitative analysis methods, such as coding 
interviews for themes about barriers and successes to HIV prevention, 
care, and treatment. Structured response surveys will be analyzed using 
descriptive statistics and other appropriate statistical methods.
    CDC will use the results from each specific data collection study 
to help to identify ways to improve local programmatic activities for 
specific communities along the continuum of HIV prevention, treatment 
and care for populations and areas with the greatest HIV burden. CDC 
will communicate study outcomes to local stakeholders and organizations 
in positions to consider and implement site-specific improvements in 
HIV prevention, care, and treatment for each of the study sites 
examined. For stakeholders, organizations, or agencies outside the 
local affected communities, all communications will include clear 
discussion of the limitations of the region-specific, qualitative 
methods and the non-generalizability of the study outcomes.
    For a given year, each separate data collection will range from 30 
(minimum) to 200 (maximum) respondents based on the nature and scope of 
the research purposes. For example, if there are three data 
collections, the maximum combined number of expected respondents is 
600. In a given year, CDC anticipates that the need to screen 1600 
persons to identify 800 eligible persons, of which 600 persons will 
agree to participate.
    CDC anticipates that screener forms will take five minutes to 
complete each, contact information forms will take one minute to 
complete each, and consent forms will take five minutes to complete 
each. CDC anticipates 50% of the targeted populations screened will be 
eligible for the study. Of eligible persons, 75% will agree to 
participate.
    Brief structured surveys will take 15 minutes to complete. In-depth 
interviews or focus groups with respondents are expected to take 60
