Prenatal HIV Prevention
Survey: Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of Health Care
Providers Serving Pregnant Women Regarding HIV Counseling and
Testing and Use of Zidovudine (ZDV)
New
collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
Total budren
hours has changed from 649 to 685 based on conversation with Seleda
Perryman. Future data collection efforts will be more closely
coordinated, across the Department to ensure that burdens are not
imposed duplicatively or unnecessarily, and that information needs
are met effectively. To the extent possible, the CDC and HRSA
surveys should enable responses to be categorized by the same basic
types of facility, provider, and patient characteristics. To that
end, the following modifications to the survey questions are
suggested: a) HRSA survey: section 1, question 1: add option to
distinguish betweed Medicaid and non-Medicaid HMO; b) HRSA survey :
revise category choices in section 1, if necessary to ensure that
respondents can also be clearly categorized by type of care setting
as defined in CDC survey; c) CDC survey: for the set of questions
addressed to private practices , add question to identify whether
respondents represent a solo practice or group practice; d) CDC
survey: add question characterizing in more detail the nature of
facility in terms of the types of services that are
offered/provided (see HRSA survey questions 1,2 and 5): e) CDC
survey: where applicable, add additional category options for
payment sources of the patients served (See HRSA question 4). f)
HRSA Survey: add question in section 10 to determine whether the
facility is aware of and/or follows the CDC guidelines on a)HIV
counseling and testing and b) on the use of antiretroviral
therapies. To the extent the survey samples may result in both
questionnaires requesting data covering the same provider and/or
patients (e.g.Brooklyn), a) a note should be included with the
survey request, or potential responders should be otherwise be made
aware that a different survey on the same general topic is also
being conducted, with an explanation of how these surveys are
related and complement each other, and b) potential item or general
non-response effects as a result of including the same respondent
in both survey samples should be reflected in any statistical
analyses. Prior to fielding these instruments, HRSA and CDC must
submit for OMB review 1) the revied questionnaires, 2) the cover
note for the Brooklyn sample, and 3)an implementation schedule/plan
for the Brooklyn respondents.
