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.
Currently there are 3,192 burden hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA is now requesting to increase this ceiling to 9,576 total burden hours. The increase of 6,384 hours is due to the following: 1) The inclusion of both clinicians and clients in our "respondent" calculations; 2) The program adjustment of 20,000 respondents/2,660 burden hours is due to a recalculation of the actual number of respondents receiving a rapid HIV test and the inclusion of 1,333 retested respondents/532 burden hours. The 1,333 retested respondents and 532 burden hours reflects one third of the re-test population; 3) The program change of 40,000 respondents/5,320 burden hours is due to the addition of eleven 2011 MAI-TCE grantees and a program change increase of 2,667 respondents/1,064 burden hours to be retested for the 11 new grantees. The 2,667 retested respondents and 1,064 burden hours reflects two-thirds of the re-test population highlighted; and 4) 4000 respondents, on average, per year will be retested to ensure that a read of this submission is transparently clear.
