requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance

Proposed Project 

National HIV Behavioral Surveillance 

System (NHBS) 0920–0770 (exp. 03/31/ 

2011)—Revision-National Center for 

HIV, Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention 

(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The purpose of this data collection is 

to monitor behaviors related to human 

immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection 

among persons at high risk for infection 

in the United States. The primary 

objectives of NHBS are to obtain data 

from samples of persons at risk to: (a) 

Describe the prevalence and trends in 

risk behaviors; (b) describe the 

prevalence of and trends in HIV testing 

and HIV infection; (c) describe the 

prevalence of and trends in use of HIV 

prevention services; (d) identify met and 

unmet needs for HIV prevention 

services in order to inform health 

departments, community-based 

organizations, community planning 

groups and other stakeholders. This 

project addresses the goals of CDC’s HIV 

prevention strategic plan, specifically 

the goal of strengthening the national 

capacity to monitor the HIV epidemic to 

better direct and evaluate prevention 

efforts. 

For the proposed data collection, CDC 

has revised the interview data collection 

instruments. A few questions were 

added (related to health care access and 

utilization, use of pre-exposure 

prophylaxis, homophobia, HIV stigma, 

and discrimination), some were 

removed, and others were revised from 

the previously approved instrument to 

make them easier for respondents to 

understand and respond appropriately. 

The project activities and methods will 

remain the same as those used in the 

previously approved collection. 

Data are collected through 

anonymous, in-person interviews 

conducted with persons systematically 

selected from 25 Metropolitan Statistical 

Areas (MSAs) throughout the United 

States; these 25 MSAs were chosen 

based on having high AIDS prevalence. 

Persons at risk for HIV infection to be 

interviewed for NHBS include men who 

have sex with men (MSM), injecting 

drug users (IDUs), and heterosexuals at 

increased risk of HIV (HET). A brief 

screening interview will be used to 

determine eligibility for participation in 

the behavioral assessment. The data 

from the behavioral assessment will 

provide estimates of behavior related to 

the risk of HIV and other sexually 

transmitted diseases, prior testing for 

HIV, and use of HIV prevention 

services. All persons interviewed will 

also be offered an HIV test and will 

participate in a pre-test counseling 

session. No other Federal agency 

systematically collects this type of 

information from persons at risk for HIV 

infection. These data have substantial 

impact on prevention program 

development and monitoring at the 

local, State, and national levels. 

CDC estimates that NHBS will 

involve, per year in each of the 25 

MSAs, eligibility screening for 50 to 200 

persons and eligibility screening plus 

the survey with 500 eligible 

respondents, resulting in a total of 

37,500 eligible survey respondents and 

7,500 ineligible screened persons during 

a 3-year period. Data collection will 

rotate such that interviews will be 

conducted among one group per year: 

MSM in year 1, IDU in year 2, and HET 

in year 3. The type of data collected for 

each group will vary slightly due to 

different sampling methods and risk 

characteristics of the group. 

This request is for a revision and an 

approval for an additional 3 years of 

data collection. Participation of 

respondents is voluntary and there is no 

cost to the respondents other than their 

time. The total estimated annualized 

burden hours are 9,931.
