Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled ``Formative Research to Develop HIV Social
Marketing Campaigns for Healthcare Providers'' to the Office of
Management and budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously
published a ``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations'' notice on March 8, 2021 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive comments related to
the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days
for public and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including, through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice
publication.
Proposed Project
Formative Research to Develop HIV Social Marketing Campaigns for
Healthcare Providers (OMB Control No. 0920-1182)--Reinstatement without
Change--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
To address the HIV epidemic in the U.S., the Department of Health
and Human Services launched Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for
America, which is a cross-agency initiative aiming to reduce new HIV
infections in the U.S. by 90% by 2030. CDC's Let's Stop HIV Together
campaign (formerly known as Act Against AIDS) is part of the national
Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative and includes resources aimed at
reducing HIV stigma and promoting testing, prevention, and treatment
across the HIV care continuum.
Within this context, CDC's Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP)
has, and will continue implementing various communication initiatives
to increase healthcare providers' awareness of HIV testing-,
prevention- and treatment-related topics; reduce new HIV infections
among disproportionately impacted populations; and improve health
outcomes for people living with HIV/AIDS in the US and its territories.
Specifically, the initiatives target healthcare providers, including
primary care, and relevant specialties such as HIV medicine and
infectious disease, physicians, physician assistants, and nurses.
The rounds of data collection include exploratory, message testing,
concept testing, and materials testing. Information collected by DHAP
will be used to assess healthcare providers' informational needs about
topics related to HIV testing, prevention, and treatment; pre-test
campaign-related messages, concepts, and materials; and evaluate the
extent to which the communication initiatives are reaching the target
audiences and providing them with trusted HIV-related information. Data
collections will include in-depth interviews and brief surveys. The
data gathered under this request will be summarized in reports prepared
for CDC by its contractor, such as quarterly and annual reports and
topline reports that summarize results from each data collection. It is
possible that data from this project will be published in peer-reviewed
manuscripts or presented at conferences, and the manuscripts and
conference presentations may appear on the internet.
The total estimated annualized burden hours are 902. Participation
of respondents is voluntary, and there is no cost to participants other
than their time.
