Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled Project Confianza to Identify Medical Mistrust Drivers among Hispanic/Latino Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men (HLMSM). The data collection is designed to identify the root causes of medical mistrust and opportunities to implement interventions that can make HIV-related services trusted and acceptable for HLMSM to increase access to, and utilization of, HIV prevention and care services, as well as contribute toward achieving Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. (EHE) goals and National HIV Strategic Plan health disparities goals.

Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part
of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the
utility of government information, invites the general public and other
Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed information
collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project
titled Project Confianza to Identify Medical Mistrust Drivers among
Hispanic/Latino Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men
(HLMSM). The data collection is designed to identify the root causes of
medical mistrust and opportunities to implement interventions that can
make HIV-related services trusted and acceptable for HLMSM to increase
access to, and utilization of, HIV prevention and care services, as
well as contribute toward achieving Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S.
(EHE) goals and National HIV Strategic Plan health disparities goals.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before April 29, 2024.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2024-
0012 by either of the following methods:
[square] Federal eRulemaking Portal: <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>. Follow
the instructions for submitting comments.
[square] Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road
NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments
to <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>. Please note: Submit all comments through the
Federal eRulemaking portal (<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>) or by U.S. mail to the
address listed above.

proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan
and instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
4. 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
submissions of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.

Background and Brief Description
Although the HIV diagnosis rate among Hispanic/Latino Americans (H/
L) has decreased in the United States (from 17.6/100,000 in 2014 to
11.0/100,000 in 2019), H/L continue to be disproportionately affected
by HIV. H/L account for 18.7% of the US population and in 2019 they
accounted for 29% of new HIV diagnoses, the majority (85%) of which
were among H/L gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men
(HLMSM). Medical mistrust (MM) is a social determinant of health
associated with HIV disparities (e.g., low PrEP willingness and
adherence) among HLMSM that prevents and delays access and engagement
in HIV prevention and care services (e.g., PrEP, ART). To date, most MM
studies in the United States have focused on Black/African American
persons. The few studies that have examined MM among H/L are mostly in
non-HIV fields (e.g., reproductive health and chronic diseases, such as
cancer screening). The literature highlights the need for research
about MM among HLMSM.
Because its root causes in this priority group are unknown, the
goals of this collection are to understand pathways that lead to MM in
HLMSM, and to capture variations in MM drivers among different H/L
subgroups (e.g., Indigenous, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Salvadoran,
Columbian). Methods used to collect data during this project include
(1) In-depth interviews, focus groups, and quantitative surveys with
HLMSM and (2) key informant interviews and focus groups with health
care providers and H/L leaders/gatekeepers. Projects collecting
information under this request should: (1) identify the root causes of
MM and opportunities to implement interventions that can make HIV-
related services trusted and acceptable for HLMSM to help increase
HLMSM access to, and utilization of, HIV prevention and care services;
(2) contribute toward achieving Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S.
(EHE) goals; and (3) respond to the National HIV Strategic Plan health
disparities goals.
CDC awarded a research cooperative agreement to three academic
institutions (Johns Hopkins University [JHU]; the University of
California, San Francisco [UCSF]; and Wake Forest University [WFU])
through a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) PS23-006. The total
estimated annualized burden hours requested are 2,580. There is no cost
to respondents other than their time to participate.
