collection of information, including the validity of the methodology 
and assumptions used; (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; (d) Minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or

Proposed Project

    Using Rapid Assessment Methods to Understand Issues in HIV 
Prevention, Care and Treatment in the United States--New--National 
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention requests approval 
for a 3-year clearance to collect data using rapid qualitative 
inquiries to understand issues related to HIV prevention, care, and 
treatment in the United States. Rapid inquiries are concentrated data 
collection and iterative data analytic efforts focused on timely and 
relevant responses to urgent issues and research questions. Although we 
will collect the majority of data using qualitative methods, many 
studies covered under this generic information collection, will involve 
a mixed methods approach for data collection.
    The rapid inquiries will include multiple well-established 
qualitative methodologies, which may include but not be limited to in-
depth individual interviews, focus groups, direct observations, case 
studies, document reviews, or brief quantitative surveys assessing 
demographics, behaviors, attitudes, intentions, beliefs, or other 
attributes of the respondents. In some assessments, additional 
contextual information may be collected, such as information about the 
respondents' community, workplaces, or organizations and places where 
they interact. CDC expects to collect qualitative data from 
approximately 1,800 respondents, assuming three research studies per 
year with each research study collecting data from 200 respondents.
    For all proposed studies under this generic information collection, 
our efforts are expected to provide insight regarding a wide array of 
HIV-related programs designed for various populations throughout the 
United States, including but not limited to: Persons living with HIV/
AIDS (PLWH); persons at elevated risk for acquiring new HIV infection 
or transmitting existing HIV infection to others; clinicians or other 
HIV care providers; men who have sex with men (MSM); transgender 
persons; injection and noninjection drug users; incarcerated 
populations or ex-prisoners; commercial sex workers; male and female 
heterosexual groups at high risk for HIV infection; and other providers 
and organizations (e.g., health departments, community-based 
organizations, public and private health clinics, advocacy groups, 
community groups, or other governmental and nongovernmental 
organizations) serving or otherwise interacting with persons at 
greatest need for HIV prevention, care, and treatment.
    Recruitment procedures will vary slightly based on the target 
population and research design of each information collection submitted 
under this generic information collection. Partner organizations such 
as public and private health clinics and community-based organizations 
that serve the target populations in the respective geographic 
locations may be contacted for their assistance in recruitment of 
potential respondents. Respondents may be identified and selected as 
key informants and invited to participate by contractor staff members.

[[Page 30463]]

    Sampling recruitment methods may include, but not be limited to: 
Use of social networking sites, the Internet, print marketing 
materials, and other methods to find and enroll respondents into the 
research study.
    All data collection tools will be pretested and interviews 
conducted by trained personnel. The data collection will take place at 
a time and place that is convenient to the respondent. Locations will 
be private. Data collection may be audio-recorded and transcribed with 
the consent of the respondent.
    The data collections supported under this generic information 
collection will be used to provide insight regarding barriers and 
facilitators to HIV prevention, care, and treatment in the United 
States and territories, and thus suggest ways CDC might improve 
programmatic activities along the continuum of HIV prevention, 
treatment and care.
    The total estimated annualized burden hours are 918. There are no 
costs to respondents other than their time.
