Proposed Project

    Formative Research to Develop Social Marketing Campaigns--Routine 
HIV Testing for Emergency Medicine Physicians, Prevention Is Care 
(PIC), and Partner Services--Extension--(0920-0775, expiration 4-30-
2011) National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    This project involves continuing a formative research study to 
support CDC's efforts in further developing three social marketing 
campaigns targeting infectious disease specialists, primary care 
physicians, and emergency department physicians. The campaigns of focus 
are: Routine HIV Testing, Prevention Is Care (PIC) and Partner 
Services. The goal of the Routine HIV Testing Campaign is to increase 
HIV testing rates among individuals who receive care through the 
emergency department and the objective of the campaign is to make HIV 
testing a routine part of care provided by emergency medicine 
physicians. PIC entails encouraging primary care physicians (PCP) and 
Infectious Disease Specialists who deliver care to patients living with 
HIV to screen their HIV patients for HIV transmission behaviors and 
deliver brief messages on the importance of protecting themselves and 
others by reducing their risky behaviors. The long-term objective of 
the campaign is to establish PIC as the standard of care for persons 
living with HIV. The goal of the Partner Services component of the PIC 
social marketing campaign is to make HIV partner services a routine 
part of medical care. Partner services will greatly enhance the 
detection and early referral of individuals with HIV infection and will 
greatly reduce the number of new infections. The study entails 
conducting the remaining interviews to test creative materials with a 
sample of emergency medicine physicians for Routine HIV Testing and 
with PCP and Infectious Disease Specialists for PIC and Partner 
Services. Findings from this study will be used by CDC and its partners 
to inform current and future program activities.
    For Routine HIV Testing, we have conducted a total of 48 interviews 
and have 24 remaining interviews to conduct. We expect a total of 12 
physicians to be screened annually for eligibility. Of the 12 
physicians who are screened annually, we expect that 8 will participate 
in an interview annually.
    For PIC, we have conducted 18 interviews and have 144 remaining 
interviews to conduct. We expect a total of 72 physicians to be 
screened annually for eligibility. Of the 72 physicians who are 
screened, we expect that 48 will participate in an interview annually.
    For Partner Services, we have conducted 96 interviews and have 78 
remaining interviews to conduct. We expect a total of 39 physicians to 
be screened annually for eligibility. Of the 39 physicians who are 
screened, we expect that 26 will participate in an interview annually.
    There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The 
total estimated annual burden hours are 115.
