Proposed Project
HIV/AIDS Awareness Day Program--Extension--National Center for HIV/
AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval of
a 3-year extension to administer surveys to respondents who plan HIV/
AIDS day awareness activities during the next 3 years. The name and
dates for the annual HIV/AIDS awareness day campaigns are: National
Black HIV Awareness Day--February 7th; National Native HIV/AIDS
Awareness Day--March 20th; National Asian and Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS
Awareness Day--May 19th; and National Latino AIDS Awareness Day--
October 15th. The purpose of the surveys is to assess the number and
types of HIV/AIDS prevention activities planned and implemented in
observance of each of the four noted HIV/AIDS awareness day campaigns.
This extension is required to continue the work of HIV/AIDS in among
the African American, Native American, Latino, and Asian Pacific
Islander populations. Each of the awareness days have reached a
landmark year. This has been done through national outreach and
mobilization efforts towards their targeted populations as well as
awareness to the general population about HIV/AIDS issues that impact
their communities.
The importance of each day has been demonstrated in reaching beyond
traditional audience. This has been done by collaborating with agencies
and organizations who serve the public health in areas affected by HIV/
AIDS. A more proactive role has been shared between each of the
planning committees and the communities they serve. Testing and linkage
to care has been a staple for each of the days. Also, each of the
groups has fully used online resources to provide information and
network with individuals and groups to help with their perspective
cause(s).
After the date that each campaign occurs, the event planners will
be asked to respond to a computer-based survey to collect qualitative
data. They will go to the designated Web sites to review information
about the campaigns and go to the section that allows them to enter
information about their particular event. For example, the event
planners will be asked to note the kind of events that they planned.
The survey results are necessary to understand how and where HIV/AIDS
awareness activities are planned and implemented.
These survey results will provide important information that will
be used to develop HIV/AIDS prevention activities. The computer-based
surveys take up to one hour. The surveys and are one-time only and will
not require a follow-up. There is no cost to the respondents other than
their time.
