Proposed Project Pilot Plan for the Interim Local Health Department Strategy for Response, Control, and Prevention of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) and Antibiotic Resistance (AR)—New— National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Through piloting the Interim Local Strategy, CDC’s Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP) aims to understand Local Health Departments’ (LHDs) experience implementing the strategy and collect their feedback for refinement. A secondary goal of this study is to create a network of LHDs working in Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) and Antibiotic Resistance (AR) activities to learn from one another and share best practices. Data collected during the pilot will be used to assess the extent to which the strategy materials and resources help LHDs to: (1) grow and expand their HAI/AR partner networks and collaboration; (2) build operational capacity to conduct and promote sustainable HAI/AR infection prevention and control practices; and (3) expand HAI/AR infection prevention, outbreak response, and stewardship activities. Furthermore, data will inform any necessary refinements of the materials and resources. CDC will conduct data collection through interviews and electronic surveys, to capture feedback on the strategy’s usability and effectiveness, as well as on each individual material and resource. CDC will use a mixed methods approach with both deductive and inductive analysis of qualitative data collected through surveys and structured interviews, and aggregate quantitative survey data. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 360 annualized burden hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.

Proposed Project khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Preferences for Longer-Acting Preexposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Methods Among Persons in US Populations at Highest Need: A Discrete Choice Experiment—New—National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The 2022–2025 National HIV/AIDS Strategy includes a goal of increasing PrEP coverage to 50% among persons with indications, from a 2017 baseline VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:37 Oct 07, 2022 Jkt 259001 of 13.2%. Despite successes in development and scale up of daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) as a biomedical HIV prevention product, studies consistently show obstacles to its uptake and continuation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and its partners must engage in early planning for the implementation of longer-acting (LA)PrEP agents to help achieve the U.S. Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) goal of reducing incident HIV infections by 90% by 2030. Understanding providers’ and priority populations’ preferences for different LA-PrEP agents and perceived advantages and disadvantages of each product will be critical to estimating future uptake and market share of the various products that are likely to come to market. The goal of this study is to understand preferences for long-acting pre-exposure prophylaxis (LA-PrEP) products for HIV prevention among potential users and providers, including product characteristics and other service delivery factors that may facilitate or hinder future uptake of these products. RTI will collaborate with CDC to conduct a discrete choice experiment (DCE) among providers and potential users of LA-PrEP products to elicit their preferences for characteristics of LAPrEP and delivery programs to maximize uptake of LA-PrEP among people in need of HIV prevention methods. Results from this experiment will be used to identify factors key to adoption and implementation of each product and increase implementation efficiency by identifying strategies to support decision making and address potential use challenges early on. The study design is a cross-sectional, online survey comprised of a DCE and additional questions to directly elicit participant preferences and gather data on socioeconomic, behavioral, and attitudinal factors. DCE methods are based on the principle that products or services are evaluated through their multiple features or ‘attributes,’ and that an individual’s choice of a product or service is a function of the utility of each attribute option or ‘level.’ Attributes and their corresponding levels are chosen to represent the features of medications, devices, and health care services that are relevant to a health care decision. The proposed information collection will include two separate DCE surveys: one for priority populations; and one for clinicians. The survey uses an PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 experimental design to combine levels from each attribute into hypothetical product profiles and to pair profiles into choice tasks. The experimental design will be split into several blocks or versions. Each equally sized block will have 11 questions, with one question being repeated across blocks. Participants will be randomly assigned to a block and will see only one block when completing the survey instrument. The study’s target population includes clinical providers ages 18 and older who prescribe PrEP and the following priority population groups who were selected because they have the highest rates of HIV acquisition and are in need for HIV prevention services. To be eligible for the study, potential participants in each of the priority population groups must be 18 years of age and older, living without HIV, and meet the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) indications for offering PrEP as described in the 2021 USPHS Clinical Practice Guidelines. The study sample will be recruited from cities with high numbers of annual HIV diagnoses within the 57 priority jurisdictions identified as part of the Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) initiative. Data collection will last approximately six months. Participants will be randomly assigned to a block when they are sent their unique DCE survey link and will only complete the set of choice tasks in that block. Throughout the study, we will closely monitor recruitment and data collection to ensure that screening criteria are being met, key demographic groups are adequately represented, and survey completion rates are acceptable. Participants will be reimbursed $20 upon completion of the DCE. A Visa gift card will be sent electronically or mailed via the postal system based on the participant’s choice. Participation is voluntary. For this study, CDC intends to screen approximately 9,200 participants and enroll 1,840. CDC estimates that approximately 15% of enrolled participants will be removed from the analysis due to fraud or incomplete data, resulting in a final analysis sample size of 1,600 participants. At 25 minutes per survey and 10 minutes per combined screener and consent, CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 2,282 annualized burden hours. There are no costs to participants other than their time.

Methods Among Persons in US Populations at Highest Need: A Discrete 
Choice Experiment--New--National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, 
and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The 2022-2025 National HIV/AIDS Strategy includes a goal of 
increasing PrEP coverage to 50% among persons with indications, from a 
2017 baseline of 13.2%. Despite successes in development and scale up 
of daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) as a biomedical HIV 
prevention product, studies consistently show obstacles to its uptake 
and continuation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 
and its partners must engage in early planning for the implementation 
of longer-acting (LA)-PrEP agents to help achieve the U.S. Ending the 
HIV Epidemic (EHE) goal of reducing incident HIV infections by 90% by 
2030. Understanding providers' and priority populations' preferences 
for different LA-PrEP agents and perceived advantages and disadvantages 
of each product will be critical to estimating future uptake and market 
share of the various products that are likely to come to market.
    The goal of this study is to understand preferences for long-acting 
pre-exposure prophylaxis (LA-PrEP) products for HIV prevention among 
potential users and providers, including product characteristics and 
other service delivery factors that may facilitate or hinder future 
uptake of these products. RTI will collaborate with CDC to conduct a 
discrete choice experiment (DCE) among providers and potential users of 
LA-PrEP products to elicit their preferences for characteristics of LA-
PrEP and delivery programs to maximize uptake of LA-PrEP among people 
in need of HIV prevention methods. Results from this experiment will be 
used to identify factors key to adoption and implementation of each 
product and increase implementation efficiency by identifying 
strategies to support decision making and address potential use 
challenges early on.
    The study design is a cross-sectional, online survey comprised of a 
DCE and additional questions to directly elicit participant preferences 
and gather data on socioeconomic, behavioral, and attitudinal factors. 
DCE methods are based on the principle that products or services are 
evaluated through their multiple features or `attributes,' and that an 
individual's choice of a product or service is a function of the 
utility of each attribute option or `level.' Attributes and their 
corresponding levels are chosen to represent the features of 
medications, devices, and health care services that are relevant to a 
health care decision.
    The proposed information collection will include two separate DCE 
surveys: one for priority populations; and one for clinicians. The 
survey uses an experimental design to combine levels from each 
attribute into hypothetical product profiles and to pair profiles into 
choice tasks. The experimental design will be split into several blocks 
or versions. Each equally sized block will have 11 questions, with one 
question being repeated across blocks. Participants will be randomly 
assigned to a block and will see only one block when completing the 
survey instrument.
    The study's target population includes clinical providers ages 18 
and older who prescribe PrEP and the following priority population 
groups who were selected because they have the highest rates of HIV 
acquisition and are in need for HIV prevention services. To be eligible 
for the study, potential participants in each of the priority 
population groups must be 18 years of age and older, living without 
HIV, and meet the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) indications for 
offering PrEP as described in the 2021 USPHS Clinical Practice 
Guidelines.
    The study sample will be recruited from cities with high numbers of 
annual HIV diagnoses within the 57 priority jurisdictions identified as 
part of the Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) initiative. Data collection 
will last approximately six months. Participants will be randomly 
assigned to a block when they are sent their unique DCE survey link and 
will only complete the set of choice tasks in that block. Throughout 
the study, we will closely monitor recruitment and data collection to 
ensure that screening criteria are being met, key demographic groups 
are adequately represented, and survey completion rates are acceptable. 
Participants will be reimbursed $20 upon completion of the DCE. A Visa 
gift card will be sent electronically or mailed via the postal system 
based on the participant's choice.
    Participation is voluntary. For this study, CDC intends to screen 
approximately 9,200 participants and enroll 1,840. CDC estimates that 
approximately 15% of enrolled participants will be removed from the 
analysis due to fraud or incomplete data, resulting in a final analysis 
sample size of 1,600 participants. At 25 minutes per survey and 10 
minutes per combined screener and consent, CDC requests OMB approval 
for an estimated 2,282 annualized burden hours. There are no costs to 
participants other than their time.
