Proposed Project
Formative Research to inform the
development of new recommendations
for Human Immunodeficiency Virus
(HIV), Counseling, Testing, and Referral
in non-health care settings—NewNational Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Coordinating Center for

Infectious Diseases (CCID), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This project involves formative
research to elicit consumer opinions on
HIV counseling, testing, and referral
(CTR) in non-health care settings. The
study entails conducting focus groups
with persons who are either HIV
positive or at risk for HIV because of
their drug injection or sexual behavior.
The purpose of the focus groups is to
explore: (1) Facilitators and barriers to
using CTR services in non-health care
settings; (2) ideal service components to
decrease barriers to early diagnosis,
decrease risk behaviors, link clients
with follow-up care, and ensure client
rights; (3) perceived risks and benefits of
CTR; and (4) preferences for providing
informed consent.
CDC will use study findings to inform
the development of new
recommendations for HIV CTR in nonhealth care settings. We expect a total of
450 participants to be screened for
eligibility. Of the 450 participants who
are screened, we expect that 180 people
will participate in a focus group. There
are no costs to the respondents other
than their time.

Proposed Project
Medical Monitoring Project Provider
Survey-New-National Center for HIV,
STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP),

Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting a 3-year approval
from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) to survey randomly
selected HIV care providers (e.g.,
physicians, nurse practitioners and
physician’s assistants) in the United
States regarding their training history,
areas of specialization, ongoing sources
of training and continuing education
about HIV care, and awareness of HIV
treatment guidelines and resources.
Results from this survey will be used in
conjunction with data from CDC’s
Medical Monitoring Project (MMP) to
assess who is providing HIV care, to
examine the impact of provider
characteristics on the quality and
standard of care being provided to
patients with HIV, to determine
opportunities to improve resources
available to HIV care providers, and to

evaluate the reasons for sampled
providers’ participation and nonparticipation in MMP. Participation in
the survey is not contingent upon a
provider’s involvement with the MMP.
All selected HIV care providers will
be asked to participate in the survey,
regardless of their participation in the
MMP.
For this proposed data collection,
MMP project areas have identified all
HIV care providers in their jurisdictions
and selected a sample of 40–60
providers in each jurisdiction to
participate in MMP, including those
providers who may not be participating
in the MMP. CDC plans to survey these
sampled providers. Respondents will
have the option to use either a Webbased application or paper survey to
participate in the survey. There is no
cost to respondents to participate in this
survey other than their time.

reduction in dating violence
victimization and perpetration
(including psychological abuse,
stalking, physical violence, and sexual
violence) among ninth-grade students
(experimental effectiveness evaluation);
and to evaluate its cost-effectiveness,
including cost-utility (cost evaluation).
The evaluation will require
participation from staff and students at
54 schools (18 treatment schools
receiving the Safe Dates program with
teacher training and observation, 18
treatment schools receiving the Safe
Dates program without teacher training
and observation, and 18 control schools
not receiving the Safe Dates program).
Implementation evaluation data will
be collected primarily through Web
questionnaires completed by principals,
school prevention coordinators, and
teachers delivering the program;
effectiveness evaluation data will be
collected via classroom scannable forms
with ninth-graders who attend treatment
or control schools; and cost evaluation
data will be collected via a Web survey
of teachers delivering the program who
receive training and observation. High
schools that agree to participation will
be matched into sets of three.
Characteristics that will be considered
in the matching process include
demographics and urban/rural county
