Proposed Project
Promoting Adolescent Health through School-Based HIV/STD
Prevention--New--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD,
and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requests a 3-
year OMB approval to conduct a new information collection entitled,
``Promoting Adolescent Health Through School-Based HIV/STD
Prevention''. The proposed project is a semi-annual Web-based
questionnaire to assess programmatic activities among funded agencies
which include local education agencies (LEA), state education agencies
(SEA), and non-governmental organizations (NGO) funded by the Division
of Adolescent and School Health (DASH), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
Currently, the questionnaires are the only standardized reporting
process for HIV/STD prevention activities among LEAs, SEAs, and NGOs
funded by DASH. The data being gathered via the nine questionnaires:
(1) Provides standardized information about how HIV/STD prevention
funds are used by funded agencies; (2) provides descriptive and process
information about program activities; and (3) provides greater
accountability for use of public funds. The questionnaires are
completed by the funded agencies on a Web site managed by DASH and its
contractor, Karna. The questionnaires are to be completed on a semi-
annual basis.
The questionnaires pertain to the approaches that funded agencies
are using to meet their goals. Approaches include helping districts and
schools deliver exemplary sexual health education (ESHE) emphasizing
HIV and other STD prevention; increasing adolescent access to key
sexual health services (SHS); and establishing safe and supportive
environments (SSE) for students and staff.
There are a total of nine questionnaires that are included in the
burden table below. Each SEA will be completing activities for all
approaches. Therefore, each SEA will complete a questionnaire for each
approach (ESHE, SHS, and SSE). Likewise, each LEA will be completing
activities for all approaches. Therefore, each LEA will complete a
questionnaire for each approach (ESHE, SHS, and SSE). Each NGO will
respond to the questionnaire for the approach they are implementing in
support of SEAs or LEAs. Two NGOs will respond to the ESHE
questionnaire, two NGOs will respond to the SHS questionnaire, and two
NGOs will respond to the SSE questionnaire.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The
estimated annualized burden for all funded agencies is 820 hours.
