Title: AIDS COST AND SERVICES UTILIZATION SURVEY
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 01/15/1991
	Date Received in OIRA: 10/18/1990
Terms of Clearance: This information collection is approved for use until April 30, 1992. OMB has serious concerns about the willingness of both patients and providers to participate in this survey. When OMB reviewed and approved the preliminary concept plan for this survey in Nov. 1988, it included a pretest phase. OMB strongly believes that this is an important phase of this project, particularly given our limited experience with surveys of this scope, the cost of the survey, and the importance of identifying problems as early as possible. HHS has determined that the cost and time associated with pretest would prevent HHS from holding to its original schedule. Because of this significant departure, OMB approves the survey for use for 15 months with a request for a resubmission of a request for approval at the end of that time to include a status report on sampling and response rates. This timeframe will provide for the enrollment of patients, 2 or 3 waves of patient interviews, the first wave of provider data and the bias study. These steps should provide sufficient information to make a determination of the likely successful execution of this study and address any inadequacies in the methodology. These steps will also ensure an early assessment of the study's viability in the absence of a pretest while maintaining the schedule of the full study if it proves valid.
