Proposed Projects
1. Prevention Marketing Initiative Community Demonstration Site
Project Evaluation--(0920-0343)--Extension--The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, National Center for HIV, STD, and TB
Prevention, Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, Community Assistance,
Planning, and National Partnership Branch's Prevention Communications
unit is planning to conduct a longitudinal track study as part of the
evaluation of a five-city HIV prevention demonstration program. This
demonstration program is part of the CDC's national Prevention
Marketing Initiative. The local demonstration program involves the
integration of social marketing processes and community participation
in an effort to develop and implement HIV prevention activities.
Community groups in the local demonstration sites have chosen to
target people 25 years old and younger using a variety of intervention
strategies. Decisions about the nature of local interventions are based
on formative research conducted in each community. It is hoped that
this demonstration project will result in reductions in HIV risk
behavior among people 25 years old and younger, as well as enhanced
collaboration among individuals and organizations in the participating
communities.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions, questionnaire
data will be collected from people 25 years old and under in
demonstration communities. These data will be collected before and
after prevention activities and message campaigns are launched. A
baseline survey is planned in Fall, 1996 under OMB NO. 0920-0343
(Evaluation of the National AIDS Information and Education Program
Activities). The cost to respondents is estimated at $10,000.
