Proposed Project 

Medical Monitoring Project Provider 

Survey-New-National Center for HIV, 

STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

CDC is requesting a 3-year approval 

from the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) to survey randomly 

selected HIV care providers (e.g., 

physicians, nurse practitioners and 

physician’s assistants) in the United 

States regarding their training history, 

areas of specialization, ongoing sources 

of training and continuing education 

about HIV care, and awareness of HIV 

treatment guidelines and resources. 

Results from this survey will be used in 

conjunction with data from CDC’s 

Medical Monitoring Project (MMP) to 

assess who is providing HIV care, to 

examine the impact of provider 

characteristics on the quality and 

standard of care being provided to 

patients with HIV, to determine 

opportunities to improve resources 

available to HIV care providers, and to 

evaluate the reasons for sampled 

providers’ participation and nonparticipation in MMP. Participation in 

the survey is not contingent upon a 

provider’s involvement with the MMP. 

All selected HIV care providers will 

be asked to participate in the survey, 

regardless of their participation in the 

MMP. 

For this proposed data collection, 

MMP project areas have identified all 

HIV care providers in their jurisdictions 

and selected a sample of 40–60 

providers in each jurisdiction to 

participate in MMP, including those 

providers who may not be participating 

in the MMP. CDC plans to survey these 

sampled providers. Respondents will 

have the option to use either a Webbased application or paper survey to 

participate in the survey. There is no 

cost to respondents to participate in this 

survey other than their time.

Proposed Project 

Evaluation of the Safe Dates Project—

New—National Center for Injury 

Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The specific aims of this study are to 

describe the implementation and drivers 

of implementation of the Safe Dates 

program (implementation evaluation); to 

evaluate its impact on desired 

outcomes, including prevention of and 

reduction in dating violence 

victimization and perpetration 

(including psychological abuse, 

stalking, physical violence, and sexual 

violence) among ninth-grade students 

(experimental effectiveness evaluation); 

and to evaluate its cost-effectiveness, 

including cost-utility (cost evaluation). 

The evaluation will require 

participation from staff and students at 

54 schools (18 treatment schools 

receiving the Safe Dates program with 

teacher training and observation, 18 

treatment schools receiving the Safe 

Dates program without teacher training 

and observation, and 18 control schools 

not receiving the Safe Dates program). 

Implementation evaluation data will 

be collected primarily through Web 

questionnaires completed by principals, 

school prevention coordinators, and 

teachers delivering the program; 

effectiveness evaluation data will be 

collected via classroom scannable forms 

with ninth-graders who attend treatment 

or control schools; and cost evaluation 

data will be collected via a Web survey 

of teachers delivering the program who 

receive training and observation. High 

schools that agree to participation will 

be matched into sets of three. 

Characteristics that will be considered 

in the matching process include 

demographics and urban/rural county 


rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
2698 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 13 / Monday, January 22, 2007 / Notices 

type. Large schools will be given the 

option to invite a census of ninth grade 

students to participate in the study or to 

invite a subset of ninth grade students 

(in certain classes) to participate. 

Schools within a set of three will be 

matched on census versus subset 

selection of ninth graders to ensure that 

all schools in a set use the same 

selection process. Eighteen matched sets 

of three schools will be selected. One 

school from each matched set will be 

assigned randomly either to receive the 

Safe Dates program with teacher 

training and observation, to receive the 

Safe Dates program without teacher 

training and observation, or to serve as 

a control group. 

Approximately 10,158 students at the 

54 schools will complete a baseline 

effectiveness evaluation scannable 

survey. During the classroomadministered survey, information will 

be collected from students about how 

they feel about dating, communicating 

with a dating partner, and attitudes and 

behaviors related to violence, including 

violence between preteen and teen 

dating couples. Informed written 

consent from parents for their child’s 

participation and informed written 

assent from ninth graders for their own 

participation will be obtained. During 

Web surveys, school staff will be asked 

about implementation and costs of the 

Safe Dates program. 

Effectiveness evaluation baseline data 

collection will span the period from 

October to November 2007, and followup data collection will occur during 

January and February 2009. Assuming 

an 80 percent response rate at followup, it is anticipated that a total of 8,126 

students will complete follow-up 

effectiveness evaluation surveys. 

To evaluate the implementation and 

implementation drivers of the program, 

principals and prevention coordinators 

at all 54 schools will be asked to 

complete a series of Web surveys from 

October 2007 to February 2009. 

Assuming a 91 percent response rate for 

all school staff surveys, it is anticipated 

that 48 principals and 48 prevention 

coordinators will complete baseline 

implementation questionnaires, 32 

principals and 32 prevention 

coordinators at treatment schools will 

complete mid-implementation 

questionnaires, 48 principals will 

complete end-of-school year 

implementation questionnaires, and 48 

prevention coordinators will complete 

follow-up implementation 

questionnaires. In addition, 97 teachers 

at treatment schools will complete Web 

baseline implementation questionnaires, 

48 teachers at treatment schools 

receiving training and observation will 

complete cost questionnaires, and 97 

teachers at treatment schools will 

complete two mid-implementation 

questionnaires each. Students at 

treatment schools (n=5,417) will also 

complete two mid-implementation 

questionnaires each. 

It is anticipated that study results will 

be used to determine the Safe Dates 

program’s effectiveness, economic and 

time costs, cost-effectiveness, costutility, feasibility of implementation, 

dissemination facilitators, and needed 

improvements for implementation with 

fidelity. 

There are no costs to respondents 

except their time to participate in the 

interview.
