Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on the extent and nature of
illness and disability; environmental,
social and other health hazards; and
determinants of health of the population
of the United States. This three-year
clearance request includes the data
collection in 2011 and 2012 and data
planning and testing activities for 2013–
2014 data collection.
The National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES) was
conducted periodically between 1970
and 1994, and continuously since 1999
by the National Center for Health
Statistics, CDC. Almost 19,000 persons
are screened, with about 5,000
participants interviewed and examined
annually. Participation in NHANES is
completely voluntary and confidential.
NHANES programs produce
descriptive statistics which measure the
health and nutrition status of the
general population. Through the use of
questionnaires, physical examinations,
and laboratory tests, NHANES studies
the relationship between diet, nutrition
and health in a representative sample of
the United States. NHANES monitors

the prevalence of chronic conditions
and risk factors related to health such as
arthritis, asthma, osteoporosis,
infectious diseases, diabetes, high blood
pressure, high cholesterol, obesity,
smoking, drug and alcohol use, physical
activity, environmental exposures, and
diet. NHANES data are used to produce
national reference data on height,
weight, and nutrient levels in the blood.
Results from more recent NHANES can
be compared to findings reported from
previous surveys to monitor changes in
the health of the U.S. population over
time. NHANES continues to collect
genetic material on a national
probability sample for future genetic
research aimed at understanding disease
susceptibility in the U.S. population.
NCHS collects personal identification
information from survey respondents to
facilitate linkage of survey data with
health related administrative records.
For the 2011–2012 survey, NHANES
will add an Asian oversample to the
survey design.
NHANES data users include the U.S.
Congress; the World Health
Organization; numerous Federal
agencies such as the National Institutes
of Health, the Environmental Protection
Agency, and the United States
Department of Agriculture; private
groups such as the American Heart
Association; schools of public health;
private businesses; individual
practitioners; and administrators.
NHANES data are used to establish,
monitor, and/or evaluate recommended
dietary allowances, food fortification
policies, environmental exposures,
immunization guidelines and health
education and disease prevention
programs. This submission requests
approval for three years.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

This research is being conducted by
three sites to pilot test three unique HIV
risk reduction interventions for
feasibility, acceptability, and to provide
preliminary evidence of intervention
efficacy in reducing HIV risk behaviors.
Findings from this research will also
contribute knowledge on how to design
culturally appropriate interventions for
this target population.
The intervention evaluations are a
pre-post test design (i.e., baseline
assessment and 3-month follow-up
assessment) with three convenience
samples of African American
heterosexual men, ages 18 to 45, living
in New York and North Carolina.
Three sites will participate in this
project. Each site will use a screener
form to determine participant eligibility
for inclusion in the study. Additionally,
each site will use a locator form to
collect contact information from
participants so that staff can follow up
to schedule future appointments. A
baseline and three-month follow-up
assessment will also be administered to
participants enrolled at each site. The
baseline and follow-up assessments will
contain questions about the
participants’ socio-demographic
background, sexual health, substance
use, history of incarceration, HIV testing
history, self-efficacy, perceptions of sex
roles, HIV communication, access to
healthcare, and intervention
acceptability and feasibility. The pilot
intervention evaluation will be
conducted with 50 to 80 African
American heterosexual men at each site.

Proposed Project
HIV/AIDS Risk Reduction
Interventions for African-American
Heterosexual Men—New—National
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis,
STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
African Americans continue to be
disproportionately affected by HIV/
AIDS. Although they account for
approximately 13 percent of the U.S.
population, surveillance data indicate
that in 2007, African Americans
accounted for the majority (51 percent)
of HIV/AIDS diagnoses in 34 states
(CDC, 2009). When compared to other
racial and ethnic groups, rates of
heterosexually transmitted HIV are
substantially higher among African
Americans.
Presently, there is insufficient
knowledge regarding African American
heterosexual men’s sexual risk
behaviors and the context in which they
occur. Increasing the number of
evidence-based prevention
interventions is a necessary requisite to
decreasing HIV/AIDS among this target
population. Thorough examinations of
sexual risk behaviors and the context in
which they occur is essential for
developing effective HIV/AIDS
prevention interventions and for
informing policies and programs that
