Using Qualitative Methods to Understand Issues in HIV Prevention, Care and Treatment in the United States CHANGE REQUEST to Mitigate COVID-19 Risks: Using Qualitative Methods [...]

This is an EXTENSION request for the current GENERIC information collection request (ICR) 0920-1091. The overall purpose of this GENERIC ICR is to conduct qualitative studies to quickly identify barriers and facilitators to HIV prevention, care and treatment in specific regions with high HIV burden in the US. Intended use of the resulting data is to identify ways to improve local programmatic activities for specific communities along the continuum of HIV prevention, treatment and care for populations and areas with the greatest HIV burden. These qualitative studies will collect data using well-established rapid assessment methodologies, including: semi-structured and in-depth qualitative interviews, focus groups; direct observations; document reviews; and structured surveys. The populations to be studied include local networks of persons living with HIV and persons at high risk of acquiring HIV, including: persons with different racial and ethnic, age, and socioeconomic characteristics; men who have sex with men; transgender persons; women; and persons and organizations providing HIV prevention, care, and treatment services to impacted populations. Data will be analyzed using well-established qualitative analysis methods, such as coding interviews for themes about barriers and successes to HIV prevention, care, and treatment. Structured response surveys will be analyzed using descriptive statistics and other appropriate statistical methods. Some project methods have been modified to mitigate the risks of transmitting COVID-19.
