Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention requests a three-year
approval for the HIV Outpatient Study
data collection activity. The HIV
Outpatient Study (HOPS) is a
prospective longitudinal cohort of HIVinfected outpatients at nine wellestablished private HIV care practices
and university-based U.S. clinics, in
Tampa, Florida; Washington, DC; Stony
Brook, New York; Chicago, Illinois;
Denver, Colorado; and Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.
Clinical data are abstracted on
ongoing basis from the medical records
of adult HIV-infected HOPS study
participants, who also complete an
optional telephone/Web-based
behavioral assessment as part of their
annual clinic visit, which on average
takes about seven minutes. Before
enrolling in this study, all potential
study participants will undergo an
informed consent process (including
signing of a written informed consent)
which is estimated to take 15 minutes.
The core areas of HOPS research
extending through the present HIV
treatment era include (i) monitoring
death rates and causes of death, (ii)
characterizing the optimal patient
management strategies to reduce HIVrelated morbidity and mortality (e.g.,
effectiveness of antiretroviral therapies
and other clinical interventions), (iii)
monitoring of sexual and drug use
behaviors to inform Prevention with
Positives, and (iv) investigating
disparities in the HIV care continuum
by various demographic factors. In
recent years, the HOPS has been

instrumental in bringing attention to
emerging issues in chronic HIV
infection with actionable opportunities
for prevention, including cardiovascular
disease, fragility fractures, renal and
hepatic disease, and cancers. The HOPS
remains an important source for multiyear trend data concerning conditions
and behaviors for which data are not
readily available elsewhere, including:
Rates of opportunistic illnesses, rates of
comorbid conditions (e.g., hypertension,
obesity, diabetes) and antiretroviral drug
resistance.
Data will be collected through
medical record abstraction by trained
abstractors and by telephone or internetbased, computer-assisted interviews at
nine funded study sites in six U.S.
cities. Collection of data abstracted from
patient medical records provides data in
five general categories: Demographics
and risk behaviors for HIV infection;
symptoms; diagnosed conditions

HIV-care at the nine aforementioned
clinics (50 patients per site). Patients are
approached during one of their routine
clinic visits to participate in the HOPS.
Patients interested in participating in
the HOPS are given detailed information
about the nature of the study and
provided with written informed consent
that must be completed prior to
enrollment.
The 450 newly enrolled participants
each year will be added to the database
of existing participants such that
approximately 2,500 participants will be
seen in the HOPS each year. Medical
record abstractions will be completed
on all HOPS participants, and impose
no direct burden on HOPS study
participants.
Participation of respondents is
voluntary. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.

(definitive and presumptive);
medications prescribed (including dose,
duration, and reasons for stopping); all
laboratory values, including CD4+ Tlymphocyte (CD4+) cell counts, plasma
HIV–RNA determinations, and
genotype, phenotype, and trophile
results. Data on visit frequency, AIDS,
and death are acquired from the clinic
chart.
Data collected using a brief Telephone
Audio-Computer Assisted SelfInterview (T–ACASI) survey or an
identical Web-based Audio-Computer
Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI)
include: Age, sex at birth, use of alcohol
and drugs, cigarette smoking, adherence
to antiretroviral medications, types of
sexual intercourse, condom use, and
disclosure of HIV status to partners.
We anticipate that 450 new HOPS
study participants will be recruited
annually into the HOPS from a pool of
HIV-infected individuals currently in

the award of an urgent single-source
grant in the amount of $250,000 to the
Center for Survivors of Torture (CST) in
Dallas, TX, to ensure incoming refugee
populations in Texas have access to
mental health services.
DATES: The project period for the award
is July 1, 2014 through September 29,
2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kenneth Tota, Deputy Director, Office of
Refugee Resettlement, 901 D. Street

acf.hhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CST is the
only accredited mental health care
provider of specialized torture survivor
mental health treatment services in
Texas and the surrounding area. Many
refugees have been victims of torture.
Approximately 48,000 individual
refugees reside in the areas covered by
CST. Texas is a top resettlement
location with one of the highest
concentrations of refugees in the United
States. In the past few years, an
increasing need for mental health
services has been associated with
refugee populations from Iraq, Burma,
and Bhutan who have suffered trauma

and torture due to war and genocide in
those countries. Currently, the U.S.
refugee resettlement program is seeing a
rise in refugees from the Democratic
Republic of Congo (DRC). The United
Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees has determined this group is
particularly at risk due to decades of
extreme violence in DRC and recent
arrivals have shown a compelling need
for mental health services upon
resettlement.
CST services are critical to meeting
the mental health needs of individuals
who have survived torture. They
provide evaluation and counseling to
children, adolescents, adults, couples,
and families. Additionally, CST offers
group therapy, psychosocial activities,
and medication management. In
addition to these direct services, CST
also provides training on refugee mental
health issues to other organizations in
the area, including schools, health
clinics, and social services agencies.
During the period of April 1, 2013
through March 31, 2014, CST provided
free comprehensive mental health
services to 355 ORR clients. More than
82 percent of these clients experienced
a reduction in symptoms.
