11 Describe the purpose of the system.

The purpose of the system is to evaluate the efficacy of ChiCAS
(Chicas Creando Acceso a la Salud [Chicas: Girls Creating
Access to Health]), a two-session Spanish language
intervention that provides human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) prevention services to Hispanic/Latina adult transgender
women who have sex with men.
The type of information the system will collect, maintain, and
share includes name, Email address, phone numbers, Facebook
name/alias, gender identity, race/ethnicity, employment status,
mailing address, contact information for two personal contacts,
sex at birth, age, education history, country of origin, and
number of years of United States (US) residency.

Describe the type of information the system will
collect, maintain (store), or share. (Subsequent
12
questions will identify if this information is PII and ask
about the specific data elements.)

Provide an overview of the system and describe the
13 information it will collect, maintain (store), or share,
either permanently or temporarily.

The system will also collect information on participant
identifications (IDs), participants' experienced barriers to
accessing health care, results of their most recent HIV test, use
of hormone therapy and location and contact information for
the prescribing physician and supplying pharmacy, knowledge
about HIV, other sexually transmitted diseases and preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), their sexual experiences and drug
and alcohol use, and their social support systems in the US, and
consistent condom use and the use of PrEP and medically
supervised hormone therapy, participant attendance at
intervention sessions, and digital recordings of interviews.
Any and all contact information will be collected, maintained,
and/or shared to facilitate contacting study participants during
the course of the study as well as to administer interviews and
follow-up assessments. Contact information of participants'
friends and family will be used should participants become
difficult to find.
All data will be collected, maintained, and shared in order to
analyze and examine participant exposure to the intervention
during its implementation.
Participant's digital recordings of interviews will be maintained
temporarily until transcribed. Once transcribed, digital
recordings are destroyed.

reason.

Describe the process to notify and obtain consent
from the individuals whose PII is in the system when
major changes occur to the system (e.g., disclosure
28 and/or data uses have changed since the notice at
the time of original collection). Alternatively, describe
why they cannot be notified or have their consent
obtained.

Grantees will explain to participants that it is the grantees who
will be in possession of participants' contact information, and
that they will contact participants in the event of major
changes to the system and/or use of participant's PII.
Should major system changes actually occur, an Institutional
Review Board (IRB) amendment will be drafted and a
determination made about whether the system changes
necessitate (1) updating the consent form and/or (2)
contacting participants to update them about protocol
changes.
Grantees will explain to participants during the informed
consent process ways participants can raise any concerns
about the handling of their PII at any time during the study.
Individuals concerned about breaches in confidentiality or
misuse of PII may contact the Wake Forest School of Medicine
or the Chairman of the IRB. These individuals' phone numbers
are provided to participants during the informed consent
process.

Describe the process in place to resolve an
individual's concerns when they believe their PII has
29 been inappropriately obtained, used, or disclosed, or
that the PII is inaccurate. If no process exists, explain After being informed of study-related privacy issues, the
why not.
institutional chief privacy officer charges a team of staff to
investigate privacy-related issues. This investigation includes
interviews with the PI, study team, and research participant/
complainant; and review of all study procedures, consent
procedures, and deviations. Subsequently, the chief privacy
officer writes a report that is filed with the grantee and meets
with the study team to review the report. The team in turn
adheres to the recommended actions.

Integrity: Data access will be limited strictly to grantees based
on secure storage procedures for all paper forms and
electronic files handling.

Describe the process in place for periodic reviews of
PII contained in the system to ensure the data's
30
integrity, availability, accuracy and relevancy. If no
processes are in place, explain why not.

Accuracy: Each paper assessment questionnaire is scanned and
immediately validated by comparing the scanned document to
the original questionnaire to ensure no mistakes or errors are
made during the scanning process. Once validated, the dataset
will be non-editable. Transcripts of all digital recordings will be
compared to the recordings to ensure no mistakes or errors
occurred. Corrections will be made as needed. Once validated,
the dataset will be non-editable.
Availability: PII, datasets, and transcripts will be maintained by
grantees. CDC will receive a copy of de-identified aggregate
study data at the end of the study, and we will make the
aggregate data available for potential analysis by third parties
based on conditions specified in a data sharing agreement.
Relevancy: CDC will collaborate with grantees to identify
variables and measures needed for the study, thereby avoiding
the collection of data that are not relevant to study objectives.

contractors, etc.) may access PII.
Describe the methods in place to allow those with
33 access to PII to only access the minimum amount of
information necessary to perform their job.

Separate locked cabinets will house paper forms with PII. The
hard-copy-only document linking PII to datasets is stored and
locked separately from all other data, accessible by one senior
administrator authorized to handle and view it.

Identify training and awareness provided to
personnel (system owners, managers, operators,
contractors and/or program managers) using the
34
system to make them aware of their responsibilities
for protecting the information being collected and
maintained.

Before any data are collected, grantees will be trained in IRB,
informed consent procedures, conducting the rapid INSTI test,
and collecting sensitive health data. Also, all study staff
conducting human subjects research are required to complete
an online certification every three years.

Describe training system users receive (above and
35 beyond general security and privacy awareness
training).

Grantees will receive supplemental training on collecting data
on issues specific to transgender persons. Team members also
will attend agency-specific human subjects and client
confidentiality trainings.

36 and other appropriate clauses ensuring adherence to
privacy provisions and practices?

Yes
No

Describe the process and guidelines in place with
37 regard to the retention and destruction of PII. Cite
specific records retention schedules.

Study records containing PII will be destroyed no later than
three years following the closure of the study in accordance
with the study protocol.
Administrative: Assessment data cannot be accessed based on
PII, and access to study data will be limited to key grantees.
Public access to de-identified study data after completion of
the study and the reporting of study results will be determined
by a study data sharing and data use agreement.

Describe, briefly but with specificity, how the PII will
38 be secured in the system using administrative,
technical, and physical controls.

Technical: Digital recordings of interviews will be destroyed by
erasing after the recording transcriptions are verified.
Completed assessments will be scanned, uploaded, and saved
in a password-protected, secure network. No PII will be linked
to participants' assessment data, and assessment data will be
stored separately using randomly assigned, unique
identification numbers for each participant. Only authorized
study staff with credentials will be able to access study data
housed electronically. Once logged into the system with
credentials, the system will automatically logout a user if a
period of inactivity occurs. Network servers are equipped with
back-up servers, two firewalls, and encryption for added
security.
Physical: All systems are securely controlled in new state-ofthe-art data center, which has limited access through badge
access. PII portions of the system are paper-based and will not
be stored electronically. Paper forms will be de-identified and
uploaded and stored electronically. Only de-identified data will
be stored in electronic format. Documents containing PII will
be locked in a file cabinet, accessible only by authorized study
staff. Records containing PII will be destroyed no later than
three years after closure of the study in accordance with the
study protocol.
