SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: Rapid Uptake of Disseminated
Interventions (RUDI) Evaluation, OMB No. 0906-xxxx--New.
Abstract: HRSA dedicated significant resources and effort to
developing novel intervention strategies aimed at eliminating
disparities and improving HIV-related health outcomes for people with
HIV. HRSA encourages and supports Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP)
providers to implement interventions developed through its RWHAP Part F
Special Projects of National Significance program and technical
assistance initiatives that have been found to be effective, with
adaptations for priority populations served as applicable. HRSA
disseminates its RWHAP Part F Special Projects of National Significance
and technical assistance initiative resources and products across a
variety of dissemination channels, hoping to reach a maximum number of
RWHAP recipients and subrecipients for whom these resources may meet an
important need. This mixed-methods RUDI evaluation will use a web-based
survey and virtual site visits to collect information from RWHAP
recipients and subrecipients on the uptake, utility, and efficacy of
the resources and products HRSA disseminates; the effectiveness of its
dissemination processes; and the reach of its dissemination channels.
HRSA will use
[[Page 72086]]
the information to identify opportunities for strengthening its
dissemination channels and resources to improve care and health
outcomes for program participants. A 60-day notice was published in the
Federal Register on July 12, 2023, Vol. 88, No. 132, pp. 44371-44373
(88 FR 44371). HRSA received no comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Currently, HRSA does not
systematically gather information about the resources accessed by RWHAP
providers, RWHAP recipients, or AIDS Education and Training Center
(AETC) staff and the extent to which they use those resources to inform
implementation of interventions.
The mixed-methods RUDI evaluation will help HRSA systematically
assess and understand (1) how, where, and why recipients of RWHAP
funding access and use its disseminated resources and products; and (2)
the utility and effectiveness of the disseminated resources and
products in caring for and treating people with HIV. HRSA will use the
findings from the RUDI evaluation to develop strategies to maximize the
uptake and impact of its disseminated resources and products,
contributing to ending the HIV epidemic in the United States.
Likely Respondents: The mixed-methods RUDI evaluation includes a
web-based survey of all RWHAP recipients and subrecipients nationally,
individual and small group interviews with a sample of RWHAP
recipients, virtual site visits with a sample of RWHAP providers, and
individual interviews with all AETCs. The RUDI web-based survey design
includes two versions of the survey that will be administered to non-
overlapping respondents--the RUDI Recipients Survey for RWHAP Part A
and B recipient administrative entities--and the RUDI Providers Survey
for Part A and B subrecipients and Part C, D, and F recipients who
provide direct care. Both versions ask about respondents' use of HRSA-
disseminated resources, how they were helpful, what could be improved,
and reasons for non-use where applicable. In addition, the RUDI
Recipients Survey asks about the recipients' role in guiding their
subrecipients to needed resources, and the RUDI Providers Survey asks
about the providers' experience implementing interventions for which
they used the resources. Both surveys are designed to be followed up
with additional sets of interviews with a sample of the survey
respondents to provide deeper understanding of their experience to
support development of actionable recommendations pertaining to
dissemination. Virtual site visits to RWHAP providers include
interviews with an average of three staff within each provider
organization that were part of an intervention implementation with
assistance from HRSA resources. Individual interviews for Part A and B
recipient administrative entities and AETCs will generate a complete
picture of how those organizations use HRSA resources and how the
resources or their dissemination could be improved for the future,
especially when considered together with the survey responses and
virtual site visit data from the RWHAP providers.
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the
information requested. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for
this ICR are summarized in the table below.
