The data on the MAI Rapid HIV Testing Clinical Information Form will be used to collect clinical information that can be used for quality assurance, quality performance, and product monitoring. The form does not require patient specific information to be collected from parties participating in the MAI program. The form is designed to inform SAMHSA that the HIV Rapid Test Kits are reaching their intended audience, as many communities have expressed an interest in acquiring these no cost test kits to assist them in informing and protecting their citizens. The information that we require, will also serve to justify the use of Federal funds to benefit the American Indian/Alaska Native community.
Previously 8,350 burden hours were estimated in the OMB inventory. CSAT is now requesting 3,192 total burden hours which is a decrease of 5,158 hours in burden from the earlier estimate. The previous estimate of 50,000 respondents has been modified to reflect a more realistic number of respondents of 20,000.
