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

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.

Proposed Project
Network Epidemiology of Syphilis

Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis,

Centers for Disease Control and

Background and Brief Description
CDC, Division of STD Prevention
(DSTDP), requests a 3-year approval for
a new data collection entitled, Network
Epidemiology of Syphilis Transmission
(NEST). Study participants’
sociodemographic, risk behavior, and
insurance coverage information will be
collected as part of study enrollment.
This study is funded by a cooperative
agreement between CDC and three study
grantees, two universities (Ohio State
University and University of Illinois at
Chicago) and one local health
department (Baltimore City Health
Department) in collaboration with a
university (Johns Hopkins School of
Medicine). The recruitment of study
participants as well as the data
collection activities will be carried out
at university-affiliated sites including
local health departments, community
LGBT organizations, local STD clinics
and HIV/AIDS care facilities.
The overall objective of NEST is to
support the establishment of cohorts of
MSM at high risk for syphilis and to
prospectively collect behavioral, social,
and sexual network data, and biological
specimens. Study participants will
attend study visits every three months
for a period of up to 24 months. NEST
is a multi-site study, with a target
