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 ``Data Collection Through Web Based Surveys
for Evaluating Act Against AIDS Social Marketing Campaign Phases
Targeting Consumers,'' 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
September 7, 2021 to obtain comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC received one comment 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
Data Collection Through Web Based Surveys for Evaluating Act
Against AIDS Social Marketing Campaign Phases Targeting Consumers (OMB
Control No. 0920-0920, Exp. 11/30/2021)--Extension--National Center for
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In response to the continued HIV epidemic in our country, CDC
launched the Let's Stop HIV Together campaign (formerly known as Act
Against AIDS), a multifaceted communication campaign to reduce HIV
incidence in the United States in 2009. CDC has released the campaign
in phases, with some of the phases running concurrently. Each phase of
the campaign uses mass media and direct-to-consumer channels to deliver
messages. Some campaigns provide basic education and increase awareness
of HIV/AIDS among the general public, whereas others emphasize HIV
prevention and testing among specific subgroups or communities at
greatest risk of infection. CDC will also develop new messages to
address changes in prevention science and subpopulations affected by
HIV. The proposed study will assess the effectiveness of these social
marketing messages aimed at increasing HIV/AIDS awareness, increasing
prevention behaviors, and improving HIV testing rates among consumers.
This Extension of an ongoing study will allow for continued
evaluation of the effectiveness of Let's Stop HIV Together social
marketing campaign through surveys with consumers. A total of 6,445
respondents were approved for the previously renewed Generic ICR (0920-
0920) in 2018, and since the approval date, 1,000 respondents were
surveyed under the GenIC, ``Development of Messages for the Let's Stop
HIV Together National Campaign''. The information collected from this
survey was used to evaluate the acceptability and potential
effectiveness of proposed concepts, messages, and taglines for a
component of the Let's
[[Page 63397]]
Stop HIV Together campaign focused on HIV prevention that promotes
proven, effective prevention strategies, such as pre-exposure
prophylaxis (PrEP) and treatment as prevention (TasP). We are
requesting a one-year extension to continue surveying target audiences.
Through this extension, we plan to reach the remaining approved
5,445 respondents. To obtain the remaining respondents, we anticipate
screening approximately 30,880 individuals. Depending on the target
audience for the campaign phase, the study screener will vary. The
study screener may address one or more of the following items: Race/
ethnicity, sexual behavior, sexual orientation, gender identity, HIV
testing history, HIV status, and injection drug use. Each survey will
have a core set of items asked in all rounds, as well as a module of
questions relating to specific Let's Stop HIV Together phases and
activities.
Respondents will be recruited through national opt-in email lists,
the internet, and external partnerships with community-based and
membership organizations that work with or represent individuals from
targeted populations (e.g., National Urban League, the National Medical
Association). Respondents will self-administer the survey at home on
personal computers. The annual response burden is estimated at 3,751
hours. There is no cost to the respondents other than their time.
