Comments: Recommended references: Commenters suggested additional information available on websites and in scientific publications. Response: CDC recognizes the importance of reviewing these suggested references. Each suggested reference was assessed for this current review with pre-established inclusion/ exclusion criteria. For future systematic reviews CDC may consider different criteria, which may allow for taking the suggested references into further consideration. Based on public comments, CDC revised the final report to include (1) information about the decision not to proceed with developing clinical management guidelines; (2) regrouping of plots for the meta-analysis by case definition to facilitate the interpretation of results by various case definitions; (3) regrouping limitations into two major categories (study and clinical trial limitations and limitation in methods used to conduct the review); and (4) adding a description about the importance of collecting common data elements via standardized instruments or other assessment tools. The final report and a thematic summary of responses to public comments can be found in the Supporting Materials tab of the docket and at https://www.cdc.gov/ me-cfs/programs/evidence-review.html. Although ultimately, at this time, CDC did not find sufficient evidence from the review to proceed with the development of clinical management guidelines for ME/CFS, the review was instrumental in spotlighting the research gaps in the currently available literature, and consequently, possible improvements for future clinical trial design and ways to leverage funding resources for clinical trials.

Background and Brief Description The CDC-funded HIV prevention program for young men of Color who have sex with men (YMSM) and young transgender persons (YTG) of Color employs an innovative strategy to address the social determinants of health (e.g., housing, employment) that contribute to health inequities and impact HIV outcomes: safe spaces. Safe spaces are culturally, linguistically, and age-appropriate physical spaces for engaging people who are at increased risk for HIV and providing HIV prevention and care activities. Under this program, funded community-based organizations (CBOs) must address at least two social determinants of health within their safe spaces. CBOs will employ a community-driven approach and work with people who are at increased risk for HIV to select social determinants of health with the most potential to reduce barriers to accessing HIV prevention and care services and promote health equity. The purpose of this data collection is to assess the implementation of safe spaces, participant perceptions about the role of space spaces in addressing social determinants of health and promoting HIV prevention and care, and the association between safe space implementation and HIV process and outcome indicators. The primary objectives of this data collection are to obtain data to: (a) describe the implementation of safe spaces; (b) to describe the impact on participants served; and (c) identify successful models for safe spaces to inform other CBOs and CDC. By describing safe spaces and their impact on HIV-related outcomes, this data collection provides an important data source for evaluating a public health strategy aimed at reducing new infections, increasing HIV testing, and prioritizing populations at high risk for acquiring HIV. CDC requests approval for a two-year information collection. Data are collected through surveys with participants of the safe spaces and phone-based interviews conducted with safe space staff. Persons attending the safe spaces are young men who have sex with men and young transgender persons of Color over the age of 18.

These data may inform prevention program development and monitoring at both the local and national levels. CDC estimates that this data collection will involve, eligibility screening for 1,250 persons, and a participant survey for 1,000 eligible respondents at 10 CBOs, annually. At each CBO, two staff members will be interviewed about their perceptions of safe spaces, totaling 20 staff interviews. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 384 annual burden hours.

Proposed Project

    Evaluation of Safe Spaces in CDC-directly funded Community-based 
Organizations (CBOs)--New--National Centers for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, 
STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and

Background and Brief Description

    The CDC-funded HIV prevention program for young men of Color who 
have sex with men (YMSM) and young transgender persons (YTG) of Color 
employs an innovative strategy to address the social determinants of 
health (e.g., housing, employment) that contribute to health inequities 
and impact HIV outcomes: safe spaces. Safe spaces are culturally, 
linguistically, and age-appropriate physical spaces for engaging people 
who are at increased risk for HIV and providing HIV prevention and care 
activities. Under this program, funded community-based organizations 
(CBOs) must address at least two social determinants of health within 
their safe spaces. CBOs will employ a community-driven approach and 
work with people who are at increased risk for HIV to select social 
determinants of health with the most potential to reduce barriers to 
accessing HIV prevention and care services and promote health equity.
    The purpose of this data collection is to assess the implementation 
of safe spaces, participant perceptions about the role of space spaces 
in addressing social determinants of health and promoting HIV 
prevention and care, and the association between safe space 
implementation and HIV process and outcome indicators. The primary

this data collection provides an important data source for evaluating a 
public health strategy aimed at reducing new infections, increasing HIV

    CDC requests approval for a two-year information collection. Data 
are collected through surveys with participants of the safe spaces and
