Proposed Project
Resources and Services Database of the CDC National Prevention
Information Network (NPIN) (OMB No. 0920-0255 exp. 1/31/2014)--
Extension--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, Sexually
Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
NCHHSTP has the primary responsibility within the CDC and the U.S.
Public Health Service for the prevention and control of HIV infection,
viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and tuberculosis
(TB), as well as for community-based HIV prevention activities,
syphilis, and TB elimination programs. NPIN serves as the U.S.
reference, referral, and distribution service for information on HIV/
AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB, supporting NCHHSTP's mission to
link Americans to prevention, education, and care services. NPIN is a
critical member of the network of government agencies, community
organizations, businesses, health professionals, educators, and human
services providers that educate the American public about the grave
threat to public health posed by HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and
TB, and provides services for persons infected with human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
The NPIN Resources and Services Database contains entries on
approximately 9,000 organizations and is the most comprehensive listing
of HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STD, and TB resources and services
available throughout the country. The American public can also access
the NPIN Resources and Services database through the NPIN Web site.
More than 56 million hits by the public to the Web site are recorded
annually.
To accomplish CDC's goal of continuing efforts to maintain an up-
to-date, comprehensive database, NPIN plans each year to add up to 500
newly identified organizations and to verify those organizations
currently described in the NPIN Resources and Services Database each
year. Organizations with access to the Internet will be given the
option to complete and submit an electronic version of the
questionnaire by visiting the NPIN Web site. The breakdown of the total
annualized burden hours by survey instrument is as follows:
Initial Questionnaire Telephone Script--600 respondents with one
response each (120 Registered Nurses--20 minutes; 20 Social and
Community Service Managers--10 minutes; 20 Health Educators--13
minutes; and 120 Social and Human Service Assistants--15 minutes), for
a total of 152 burden hours
Telephone Verification--7,200 respondents with one response each
(1,200 Registered Nurses, 600 Social and Community Service Managers,
and 600 Health Educators--10 minutes; and 4,800 Social and Human
Services Assistants--9 minutes) for a total of 1,120 burden hours
Email Verification--3,600 respondents with one response each (600
Registered Nurses, 300 Health Educators, and 2,400 Social and Human
Services Assistants--10 minutes); and 300 Social and Community Service
Managers--12 minutes) for a total of 610 burden hours. This request is
for 3-years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
