Proposed Projects
1. Prenatal HIV Prevention Survey: Knowledge, Attitudes And
Practices of Health Care Providers Serving Pregnant Women Regarding HIV
Counseling and Testing and the Use Of Zidovudine (ZDV) During
Pregnancy--New--This is a new data collection. The purpose of this
survey is to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of health
care providers serving pregnant women regarding HIV counseling and
testing and use of ZDV during pregnancy. Data will be collected and
reported to CDC to describe:
(1) providers' current practices in providing prenatal care to HIV-
infected women, offering HIV counseling and testing to pregnant women,
and offering ZDV to HIV-infected pregnant women; (2) providers'
knowledge of the ACTG 076 results and PHS perinatal transmission
guidelines; (3) providers' attitudes regarding HIV counseling and
testing of pregnant women; and, (4) providers' knowledge and experience
in the use of ZDV in treating HIV-infected pregnant women.
The intended population to be studied is physicians and nurse-
midwives providing prenatal care in four areas (State of Connecticut,
potential population approximately 685; State of North Carolina,
potential population approximately 1,500; Dade County, FL, potential
population approximately 500; Brooklyn, NY, potential population
approximately 260) where institutions are currently conducting a CDC-
funded study related to implementation of the PHS guidelines to prevent
perinatal transmission of HIV. The total annual burden hours are 685.

2. Workshop Evaluation Component of the CDC's Prevention Marketing
Initiative Local Demonstration Site Project--New--The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for HIV, STD, and TB
Prevention, Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, Behavioral Intervention
Research Branch is planning to conduct a series of studies as part of
the evaluation of a five-city HIV prevention demonstration program. The
program involves the integration of social marketing strategies and
community participation in an effort to develop and implement HIV
prevention activities.
Charged with developing programs for those 25 years of age and
younger, community groups in the local demonstration sites chose to
segment the target audience even further, and to mount a variety of
types of interventions. Decisions about segmentation and the nature of
local interventions were based on formative research conducted in each
community. It is hoped that this demonstration project will result in
reductions in HIV risk behavior among members of the target audiences,
as well as in enhanced collaboration among individuals and
organizations in the participating communities.
To evaluate the effectiveness of two components of the
intervention, questionnaire data will be collected from people under 25
years old and from some parents in the demonstration communities. These
data will be collected immediately before and after the Skills-Building
Workshops, one month later, and six months later. In addition,
questionnaire data will be collected once from individuals contacted
through Outreach programs. These data will supplement a survey
(announced in the Federal Register on 8/27/96) designed to assess the
full program's coverage of the target population. Total annual burden
hours are 2,798.

3. Preventive Health and Health Services Block, Annual applications
and reports--(0920-0106)--Extension--In 1994, OMB approved the
collection of information provided in the grant applications and annual
reports for the Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant
(0920-0106). This approval expires on September 30, 1997. CDC is
requesting extension of OMB clearance for this legislatively mandated
information collection.
The information collected through the applications from the
official State health agencies is required from section 1905 of the
Public Health Service Act. This is no change in the proposed
information collection from previous years. The information collected
from the annual reports is required by section 1906, specifically the
requirement for uniform data sets matching the uses of funds. Minor
modifications to some individual uniform data sets for chronic
diseases, as well as some other program areas, have been made to
maintain consistency with performance measures developed as a result of
the Government Performance and Results Act. Overall, this request
reflects a 25% reduction in the collection burden to the grantees
(States). The total burden hours are 5490.
