Proposed Project Evaluation of TransLife Center (TLC): A Locally-Developed Combination Prevention Intervention for Transgender Women at High Risk of HIV Infection— New—National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention is requesting approval for 24 months of data collection entitled, ‘‘Evaluation of TransLife Center (TLC): A LocallyDeveloped Combination Prevention Intervention for Transgender Women at High Risk for HIV Infection.’’ The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of TLC, which provides combination (biomedical, behavioral and social/structural) HIV prevention and care services to adult transgender women at high risk for HIV infection, in a culturally specific and accessible environment. The information collected PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 through this study will be used to evaluate whether the TLC intervention is an effective HIV-prevention strategy by assessing whether exposure to TLC services results in improvements in participants’ health and HIV prevention behaviors. The trial will assess whether intervention participants’ behaviors significantly change from baseline to 4and 8-month follow-up periods. This study will be carried out in Chicago, Illinois, where the TLC program is located. The study population will include 150 HIVnegative adult transgender women living in the Chicago metropolitan area. Participants will be at least 18 years of age; self-identify as transgender, transsexual, women and/or female who was assigned male sex at birth; and have a self-reported history of sex with men in the past four months. The study population will also include 10 TLC staff members. Staff members will be adults, involved in the delivery of TLC intervention services. Participation in this study is voluntary. We anticipate enrollment of a diverse sample of transgender women comprised mainly of racial/ethnic minority participants under 35 years of age, consistent with the current TLC program and the epidemiology of HIV infection among transgender women. Intervention participants will be recruited to the study through a combination of approaches, including traditional print advertisement, referral, in-person outreach, and through word of mouth. TLC staff members will be randomly selected to participate in the evaluation. A computer-assisted quantitative assessment will be used to collect information for this study, which will be delivered at the time of study enrollment and again at 4-month and 8month follow-ups. The assessment will be used to measure changes in sexual risk behavior including condom use and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) care engagement. Intervention mediators, including gender affirmation, collective self-esteem and social support, and intervention satisfaction will also be E:\FR\FM\07SEN1.SGM 07SEN1 45452 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 174 / Friday, September 7, 2018 / Notices measured. Participants will complete the assessment at baseline and again at 4- and 8-month follow-ups after joining the TLC program. We will also examine intervention experiences through semi-structured interview with 20 of the 150 TLC participants and 10 TLC staff members involved in the delivery of services through the TLC intervention. The audio-recorded interviews will capture participants and staff views about the TLC implementation process, the process through which the TLC intervention influences HIV risk behavior, and the role of the intervention in addressing social determinates of health (housing, employment, legal issues, health care access). It is expected that 50% of transgender women screened will meet study eligibility. We expect the initial screening to take approximately four minutes to complete and that providing contact information will take four minutes. The assessment will take 60 minutes (one hour) to complete and will be administered to 150 participants a total of three times. The interview will take 60 minutes (one hour) to complete and will be administered to 30 participants (20 intervention participants and 10 TLC staff) one time. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 255.

Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB 
Prevention is requesting approval for 24 months of data collection 
entitled, ``Evaluation of TransLife Center (TLC): A Locally-Developed 
Combination Prevention Intervention for Transgender Women at High Risk 
for HIV Infection.'' The purpose of this study is to evaluate the 
efficacy of TLC, which provides combination (biomedical, behavioral and

this study will be used to evaluate whether the TLC intervention is an 
effective HIV-prevention strategy by assessing whether exposure to TLC 
services results in improvements in participants' health and HIV 
prevention behaviors. The trial will assess whether intervention 
participants' behaviors significantly change from baseline to 4- and 8-

    This study will be carried out in Chicago, Illinois, where the TLC

adult transgender women living in the Chicago metropolitan area. 
Participants will be at least 18 years of age; self-identify as

again at 4- and 8-month follow-ups after joining the TLC program.
    We will also examine intervention experiences through semi-

staff members involved in the delivery of services through the TLC 
intervention. The audio-recorded interviews will capture participants
