Proposed Project Development of CDC's Act Against AIDS Social Marketing Campaigns Targeting Consumers--New--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description In an effort to refocus attention on domestic HIV and AIDS, CDC launched the Act Against AIDS (AAA) initiative in 2009 with the White House and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. AAA is a multifaceted national communication initiative that supports reduction of HIV incidence in the U.S. through multiple, concurrent communication and education campaigns for a variety of audiences including, the general public populations most affected by HIV and health care providers. The campaigns target consumers 18-64 years old and include the following audiences: (1) Men who have sex with men (MSM) of all races; (2) Blacks/African Americans; (3) Hispanics/Latinos; (4) Transgender individuals; (5) HIV-positive individuals; and (6) national audience of all races. All campaigns support the comprehensive HIV prevention efforts of CDC and the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS). The goal of this study is to qualitatively test messages and materials that will be used in specific HIV social marketing campaigns under the AAA initiative that target consumers in order to increase HIV testing rates, increase HIV awareness and knowledge, challenge commonly held misperceptions about HIV, and promote HIV prevention and risk reduction. The intended use of the resulting data is for CDC to revise and/or develop timely, relevant, clear, and engaging materials for these social marketing campaigns. Qualitative methods will be used to collect the data include focus groups, intercept interviews, and in-depth interviews. Qualitative methods provide flexible in-depth exploration of the participants' perceptions and experience; and the interviews yield descriptions in the participants' own words. Qualitative methods also allow the interviewer flexibility to pursue relevant and important issues as they arise during the discussion. The participants will also participate in a brief 15-minute brief survey. Data collected by the brief survey will provide a source of quantitative data supplementing the qualitative data collected during the interviews. The brief survey will be administered to participants before the individual in-depth interview and focus group. The survey will collect basic background information about the participants' knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about HIV, HIV testing behaviors, risk behaviors and demographics to enable us to more fully describe the participants. There is no cost to participants other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 2,063.
