Proposed Project
Data Collection Through Web Based Surveys for Evaluating Act
Against AIDS Social Marketing Campaign Phases Targeting Consumers
(Generic ICR, OMB# 0920-0920, Expires 2/28/2015)--Extension--National
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In response to the continued HIV epidemic in our country, CDC has
launched Act Against AIDS, a 5-year, multifaceted communication
campaign to reduce HIV incidence in the United States. CDC plans to
release the campaign in phases, with some of the phases running
concurrently. Each phase of the campaign will use mass media and
direct-to-consumer channels to deliver HIV prevention and testing
messages. Some components of the campaign will be designed to provide
[[Page 8655]]
basic education and increase awareness of HIV/AIDS among the general
public, and others will be targeted to specific subgroups or
communities at greatest risk of infection. The current study addresses
the need to assess the effectiveness of these social marketing messages
aimed at increasing HIV awareness and delivering HIV prevention and
testing messages among at-risk populations.
This extension of an ongoing study will evaluate the Act Against
AIDS (AAA) social marketing campaign aimed at increasing HIV/AIDS
awareness, increasing prevention behaviors, and improving HIV testing
rates among consumers. A total of 36,000 respondents were originally
approved for this 3-year data collection. Since the original approval
date, 4,250 respondents have participated in the surveys. The number of
remaining respondents for the 3-year period is 31,750. We anticipate
screening approximately 52,915 individuals annually to achieve 10,583
respondents annually. The information collected from each of the data
collections were used to evaluate specific AAA campaign phases. We are
requesting additional time to continue to survey other AAA target
audiences and campaign phases and measuring exposure to each phase of
the campaign and interventions implemented under AAA.
Depending on the target audience for the campaign phase, the study
screener will vary. The study screener may address one or more of the
following items: race/ethnicity, sexual behavior, and sexual
orientation. Each survey will have a core set of items asked in all
rounds, as well as a module of questions relating to specific AAA
activities and communication initiatives.
Survey respondents will be selected from a combination of sources,
including a national opt-in email list sample and respondent lists
generated by partnership organizations (e.g., the National Urban
League, the National Medical Association). Participants will self-
administer the survey at home on personal computers. There is no cost
to the respondents other than their time. The total number of estimated
annual burden hours is 7,056.
