Proposed Collection; Comment

Request: Enhancing Access and

Measuring the Effectiveness of HIV/

AIDS Information Methods

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

for opportunity for public comment on

proposed data collection projects, the

National Library of Medicine (NLM), the

National Institutes of Health (NIH) will

publish periodic summaries of proposed

projects to be submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

review and approval.

Proposed Collection

Title: Enhancing Access and

Measuring the Effectiveness of HIV/

AIDS Information Methods. Type of

Information Collection Request: New,

Need and Use of Information Collection:

This study will assess the effectiveness

of three information sources within the

African American Community in

disseminating HIV prevention

information. HIV infection and the

dissemination of prevention information

is a major public health task in North

Florida. Three types of African

American communities from Gadsden,

Leon, and Duval counties have been

selected as the sites of this study. This

includes communities with rural, mixed

rural/urban, and urban areas

represented for assessing possible

differences in health information

channel preferences. This study will

add to the body of knowledge

concerning HIV information

dissemination to African American

communities in two ways: first, by

assessing whether there are differences

in the preferred health information

channels of those living in rural, mixed,

and urban areas, and secondly, by

assessing three information

dissemination channels for

communicating HIV issues to African

American communities. The three

information channels of concern in this

study are community newsletters,

entertainment education, and church

ministries. In the first year of the

project, a brief survey will be conducted

before and after distribution of the

community newsletter to assess how the

community obtains information about

the prevention of HIV infection and

transmission, their preferred sources of

health information, and the

effectiveness of the newsletter. The

initial data collected will be used to

establish a baseline for the project

against which the subsequent project

data can be evaluated

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households. Type of Respondents:

Residents living in Duval, Gadsden and

Leon counties, Florida. The annual

reporting burden is as follows:

Estimated Number of Respondents: 450;

Estimated Number of Responses per

Respondent: 1; Average Burden Hours

Per Response: .167; and Estimated Total

Annual Burden Hours Requested: 75.

The annualized cost to respondents is

estimated at: $1,082. There are no

Capital Costs to report. there are no

Operating or Maintenance Costs to

report.

Request for Comments

Written comments and/or suggestions

from the public and affected agencies

are invited on one or more of the

following points: (1) Whether the

proposed collection of information is

necessary for the proper performance of

the function of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used; (3)

Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on those who are to respond, include

the use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.

request more information on the

proposed project or to obtain a copy of

the data collection plans and

instruments, contact Ms. Gale Dutcher,
