Proposed Project

    Resources and Services Database of the CDC National Prevention 
Information Network (NPIN)(OMB Control No. 0920-0255 exp. 12/31/2016)--
Extension--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, Sexually 
Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    NCHHSTP has the primary responsibility within the CDC and the U.S. 
Public Health Service for the prevention and control of HIV infection, 
viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and tuberculosis 
(TB), as well as for community-based HIV prevention activities, 
syphilis, and TB elimination programs. NPIN serves as the U.S. 
reference, referral, and distribution service for information on HIV/
AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB, supporting NCHHSTP's mission to 
link Americans to prevention, education, and care services. NPIN is a 
critical member of the network of government agencies, community 
organizations, businesses, health professionals, educators, and human 
services providers that educate the American public about the grave 
threat to public health posed by HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and 
TB, and provides services for persons infected with human 
immunodeficiency virus (HIV). NPIN services are designed to facilitate 
program collaboration in sharing information, resources, published 
materials, research, and trends among the four diseases.
    The NPIN Resources and Services Database contains entries on 
approximately 9,000 organizations and is the most comprehensive listing 
of HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STD, and TB resources and services 
available throughout the country. The American public can also access 
the NPIN Resources and Services database through the NPIN Web site. 
More than 1,000,000 unique visitors and more than 3,000,000 page views 
are recorded annually.
    To accomplish CDC's goal of continuing efforts to maintain an up-
to-date, comprehensive database, NPIN plans each year to add up to 400 
newly identified organizations and to verify those organizations 
currently described in the NPIN Resources and Services Database each 
year. Organizations with access to the Internet will be given the 
option to complete and submit an electronic version of the 
questionnaire by visiting the NPIN Web site. Methods to be used to 
collect the information include online, telephone and email survey 
questionnaires to collect information from representatives of the 
organizations that provide covered services.
    The respondent population includes Registered Nurses, Social and 
Community Service Managers, Health Educators, Social and Human Service 
Assistants working within NPIN member organizations that provide HIV/
AIDS, viral hepatitis, STD, and TB prevention, education, testing, and 
healthcare services. This data collection uses no inferential 
statistical methods. The data collected is in textual or anecdotal 
format and will be used for information purposes.
    There is a total of 1,717 burden hours involved in this collection. 
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
