Proposed Project

    Formative Research to Develop the Routine HIV Testing for Emergency 
Medicine Physicians, Prevention Is Care (PIC), and Partner Services 
Social Marketing Campaigns--Extension--(0920-0775, exp. 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 formative research to inform the development 
of three CDC-sponsored social marketing campaigns: Social Marketing 
Campaign to Make HIV Testing a Routine Part of Medical Care for 
Emergency Medicine Physicians (Routine HIV Testing), Prevention Is Care 
(PIC), and Partner Services (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 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 expect a total of 36 physicians to be 
screened annually for eligibility. Of the 36 physicians who are 
screened annually, we expect that 24 will participate in an interview 
annually.
    For PIC, we expect a total of 81 physicians to be screened annually 
for eligibility. Of the 81 physicians who are screened, we expect that 
54 will participate in an interview annually.
    For Partner Services, we expect a total of 87 physicians to be 
screened annually for eligibility. Of the 87 physicians who are 
screened, we expect that 58 will participate in an interview annually.
    There are no costs to the respondents other than their time.
