Proposed Project

Formative Research for the 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

The purpose of this study is to conduct interviews and focus groups in four rounds of data collections (exploratory research, message testing, concept testing, materials testing) with consumer groups aged 18 to 64 over a 3-year period to develop various social marketing campaigns aimed at increasing HIV testing rates, increasing HIV awareness and knowledge, challenging commonly held misperceptions about HIV, and promoting HIV prevention and risk reduction.

The research results will be used to develop materials for six specific HIV social marketing campaigns under the umbrella of the larger Act Against AIDS campaign. The campaigns will target consumers aged 18-64. Some campaigns will target the general public as a whole and other campaigns will focus on specific subpopulations at greatest risk for HIV infection. The target audiences will include Latinos, men who have sex with men (MSM), HIV-positive individuals and African Americans.

The study will screen 2338 people per year for eligibility. Of the 2,338 people screened, it is expected that 500 people will participate in focus groups, 500 people will participate in in-depth interviews and 700 will participate in intercept interviews. All focus group and in-depth interview participants (total 1000) will complete a brief paper and pencil survey.

There are no costs to the respondents other than their time.

The total estimated annual burden hours are 2,311.
