Describe in further detail any changes to the system
that have occurred since the last PIA.

This is a new information collection.

11 Describe the purpose of the system.

The primary purpose of the project is to develop a surveillance
information collection to monitor HIV prevalence, risk
behaviors, prevention and testing in 2 states funded to
conduct brief mixed-methods assessments in priority
populations from geographic areas of interest with limited biobehavioral HIV data.
The quantitative survey will include Name, email address,
phone numbers, mailing address, core questions on sexual risk
behaviors, injection and non-injection drug use behaviors,
testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs),
and use of prevention and health care services. Standard sets
of questions tailored to specific populations (e.g., persons who
inject drugs, men who have sex with men) will cover topics
appropriate to the priority population. These may include
questions about sexual partners, drug treatment, and history of
adverse health outcomes such as overdose, experiences with
homelessness, experiences with law enforcement, and
experiences with violence. Additional questions may include
topics of local interest by funded states.

Questions for qualitative interviews or focus groups will be
tailored to the population of interest and will evolve over the
course of data collection based on preceding and existing
information (e.g., probing further on identified themes in prior

about the specific data elements.)
social capital. Other qualitative data sources may include
observations, mapping (e.g., mapping areas with discarded
syringes/syringe litter in areas where drug use occurs), and
brief intercept surveys that focus on a few general topics (e.g.,
how a sub-population feels about a local community based
organization, where sub-populations congregate).
Participants may have the option to provide limited contact
information to BHBA project staff on a voluntary basis for
participants' convenience or for facilitating local operational
processes (e.g., mail self-testing kits, return test results, send
appointment reminders, facilitate linkage to HIV care and other
services). In all cases, participant contact information will NOT
be linked or linkable to the participant’s responses to questions
in the quantitative or qualitative interviews. Contact
information will be stored and secured locally by trained
project staff, and never shared with CDC or with anyone
outside of the project. Contact information will be destroyed
by the end of the data collection.

Name, email address, phone numbers, mailing address and
data will be collected locally using computers that are solely
used for National HIV Behavioral Surveillance -- Brief HIV Biobehavioral Assessments (NHBS-BHBA) data collection activities.
The computers will be protected by using a coded password
only known by authorized project staff. Electronic data will be
stored on a secured computer drive that is password-protected
and accessible only to the staff with tasks that require access to
the data. Computers will be kept with the project staff at all
times when in the field. Any portable computers will be
collected and secured by the field supervisor after the last
interview of the day. When not in use in the field, the portable
computers will be locked in a drawer or office at the health
department or the contracted agency conducting the
surveillance.
Provide an overview of the system and describe the
13 information it will collect, maintain (store), or share,
either permanently or temporarily.

The funded states (Massachusetts and Florida) will collect and
submit BHBA data to CDC. Authorized staff will ensure data are
transmitted to Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap), a
secure web-based application for administering surveys.
Quantitative data will be submitted online via REDCap upon
completion of each interview. CDC will work with project staff
to address data quality issues. Qualitative data such as
summary information, transcripts, interview or focus group
notes, observations, and maps will be submitted to CDC using
FileZilla - a secure file transfer protocol by authorized project
staff.
CDC will not receive or maintain any personally identifying
information (PII). From the CDC perspective this project does
not collect PII as no PII will ever be accessible to CDC staff.
Data will be maintained indefinitely as this is a surveillance
project with the potential to continue.
Yes

Participant contact information will not be linked to NHBSBHBA data. Funded states will follow their Institutional Review
Board (IRB) approved procedures for handling PII and notify
