1. Proposed Project

    Evaluation of the diffusion of HIV and tobacco-use prevention 
education programs from national training to the community level--NEW--
The National center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
seeks OMB approval for an evaluation of the diffusion of CDC identified 
effective education programs from national training to the community 
level to be conducted from 2000 to 2002. The project aims to enhance 
the adoption and implementation of effective HIV and tobacco-use 
prevention programs. As such, it is directly related to the CDC FY 2000 
performance plan to reduce smoking among young people 50% by 2003, and 
to reduce the incidence of HIV/AIDS through the dissemination of HIV 
prevention education programs. CDC will study the diffusion of three 
prevention programs (2 HIV; 1 tobacco). Half of the participants 
attending the training will be randomly selected, by state, to receive 
additional technical assistance and diffusion action planning. This 
evaluation will follow two cohorts of respondents: Cohort A (Master 
Trainers and Coalition Leaders) includes education and public health 
agency administrators, health education trainers, and community 
organization and community media leaders who attended the national 
training and who will diffuse the program in their states and 
communities; Cohort B (Local Health Educators and Coalition Members) 
includes local administrators, teachers, and health educators in local 
health departments, schools, media groups, and community organizations, 
who attended a training provided by a Master Trainer/Coalition Leader. 
Cohort A will complete two 30-minute surveys at 6 months and 12 months 
post-training and also participate in one 90-minute focus group 
conducted by phone. Cohort B will receive one 45-minute survey six 
months after they have received training.
    We assume that each Cohort A participant will, in turn, train 30 
local health educators or coalition members (Cohort B). The total 
estimated cost to respondents is $54,848 assuming an average wage of 
$22.96 and $22.58 for cohorts A and B respectively.
