Subject: Change Request for Blood Donation Rules Opinion Study (Blood DROPS)", OMB Control Number, 0925-0669, Expiration Date: January 31, 2014.
Our OMB approved study number: 0925-0669 entitled "Blood Donation Rules Opinion Study (Blood DROPS)" is seeking approval to increase the number of Aim 3 telephone interview respondents from 20 to 40. Over the course of our enrollment period study we have discovered that several more of our Aim 2 participants have expressed their willingness to participate in the Aim 3 telephone interviews than we anticipated when we sought OMB approval. (We were intentionally conservative in our expectation of the willingness of Aim 2 participants to participate in Aim 3.) It is important to note that these 20 additional participant interviews will significantly enrich the dataset for Aim 3, which seeks to assess the actual motivations for donating in the population of self-identified MSM who have donated blood in the US after 1977 following their MSM sexual debut.
