Summary of Changes to Questionnaire

Attachment 5d
Beginning in early 2018, CDC began an evaluation of the MMP questionnaire. The evaluation focused on examination of the relevance, coherence, and scientific contribution of interview questions. The result is a modified interview questionnaire (see Attachment 5c for the previously approved version of the questionnaire and Attachment 5a for the new version of the questionnaire. A redlined version was not feasible because of extensive reformatting of the questionnaire, which was necessary to reduce programming errors and automate the collection of meta-data).
Sections of the questionnaire were modified to improve the efficiency of administration and the quality of the data collected. For example, questions about non-injection drug use, reproductive health, risk reduction and other topics were improved to ease participant comprehension. All new sections of the questionnaire were tested for comprehension through mock interviews. CDC staff conducted test interviews of the revised questionnaire using scenarios involving hypothetical respondents with different characteristics and determined the average time to complete the interview was 40 minutes, which is less time than the administration time for the previously approved questionnaire. In addition, cognitive testing was performed to improve questions on health insurance and coverage and sexual behaviors. The changes to the questionnaire are described in the following table.

We modified 5 questions in the “Healthcare coverage (FH)” topic, along with an introduction. We simplified wording based on results from cognitive interviews we conducted among our target population. We also made wording consistent. For example, we use the terms “health insurance and coverage” throughout, whereas previous questions used those terms in addition to, “insurance” and “coverage” and “health insurance and health coverage”. |

Attachment 2018: p. 23-25

We removed 5 questions in the “Healthcare coverage (FH)” topic based on results from cognitive interviews we conducted among our target population. We removed a question that used the term “private health insurance” because this term was not widely understood. We also removed two questions about whether respondents obtained free medications because they were double-barreled and confusing to respondents. Finally, questions about military-based healthcare coverage were combined into one question. |

A supplemental qualitative project we conducted in 2018 indicated that people had other barriers to accessing HIV medical care that they could not fit into our existing questions. The addition of these questions allows us to have a more complete picture of barriers to accessing HIV care. We also simplified the wording of the introduction. |
