Proposed Project 

Surveillance of HIV/AIDS Related 

Events Among Persons Not Receiving 

Care-New-National Center for HIV, STD, 

and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

A committee from the Institute of 

Medicine (IOM) recently reviewed, at 

the request of Congress, the status of 

HIV/AIDS surveillance in the U.S. In the 

resulting report, three populations of 

interest were outlined, including 

persons infected with HIV, who have a 

diagnosis of HIV but are not receiving 

care. 

There are approximately 1 million 

HIV-infected persons in the United 

States. Of these, an estimated 75 percent 

know they are infected, but 

approximately half of those who know 

they are infected do not have evidence 

of having received any medical care for 

their HIV infection. Existing HIV/AIDS 

surveillance systems provide little 

information about HIV-infected persons 

who are not receiving care, especially 

those who have never entered care. In 

addition, an estimate of the size and 

immunologic status of the latter group is 

critically important for estimating 

resources needed to support linkage to 

care. Furthermore, identifying factors 

related to not being linked to care will 

be important in designing effective 

interventions. 

Based on the IOM recommendations 

and to address the needs described 

above, CDC is working with state and 

local health departments in five project 

areas to pilot a population-based 

supplemental surveillance system, 

‘‘Surveillance of HIV/AIDS Related 

Events Among Persons Not Receiving 

Care,’’ also called the Never In Care 

(NIC) Project. The NIC Project is 

designed to describe HIV-infected 

persons who are at least 90 days post 

diagnosis and have never received HIV 

care. The project will be conducted over 

a three-year period and will obtain data 

on a total of 1,000 persons 

(approximately 500 per year) with HIV/ 

AIDS. The data collection will include 

interview-based data only. 

The methods were developed in light 

of recommendations from the IOM, an 

earlier population-based survey of 

persons receiving care for HIV infection, 

and earlier CDC pilots of populationbased methods. 

For this proposed data collection, 

participating public health jurisdictions 

will conduct structured interviews with 

HIV-infected persons identified using 

their HIV/AIDS surveillance and 

supplemental laboratory databases or 

through HIV diagnostic and case 

management service providers. The 

target number of structured interviews 

is 1,000 over 2 years of data collection. 

Qualitative interviews will be 

conducted with the first 75 persons who 

agree to a second interview. The 

information to be collected includes 

demographic data, HIV testing history, 

high-risk drug use and sexual behaviors, 

reasons for not using health care and 

treatment, and unmet needs. 

Results from this project will be used 

to develop estimates of the medical 

services and resources needed for 

persons who are infected with HIV, but 

who have not received medical care and 

treatment. Additionally, new data 

related to those not receiving care may 

be used to design effective interventions 

for linking persons to care. The data will 

have implications for policy, program 

development, and resource allocation at 

the state/local and national levels. 

Users of NIC data include, but are not 

limited to, Federal agencies, state and 

local health departments, clinicians, 

researchers, and HIV prevention and 

care planning groups. Participation in 

the data collection is voluntary and 

there is no cost to respondents to 

participate in the survey other than their 

time. The total estimated annualized 

burden hours is 325.

Proposed Project 

Evaluation of State Nutrition and 

Physical Activity Programs to Prevent 

Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases—

Revision—National Center for Chronic 

Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The ‘‘State Nutrition and Physical 

Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity 

and Other Chronic Diseases’’ project 

was established by CDC to prevent and 

control obesity and other chronic 

diseases by supporting States in the 

development and implementation of 

nutrition and physical activity 

interventions, particularly through 

population-based strategies such as 

policy-level changes, environmental 

supports and the social marketing 

process. The goal of the programs in this 

project is to attain population-based 

behavior change such as increased 

physical activity and better dietary 

habits; this leads to a reduction in the 

prevalence of obesity, and ultimately to 

a reduction in the prevalence of chronic 

diseases. The evaluation questions for 

‘‘State Nutrition and Physical Activity 

Programs to Prevent Obesity and Other 

Chronic Diseases’’ have been designed 

to focus on the recipient activities as 

outlined in the original funding 

announcement: 

• Capacity building 

• Collaboration 

• Planning 

• Monitoring the burden of obesity 

• Intervention 

• Evaluation 

Within each of these areas, the plan 

identifies specific evaluation questions 

that have been chosen for study. The 

evaluation questions are asked of the 

funded states via a web-based data 

collection system supported by an 

electronic database every 6 months 

during the funding cycle. The project 

will continue to be conducted over a 3- 

year period. 

There are no costs to respondents 

except their time to participate in the 

survey.
