Proposed Project 

Data Collection Through Web Based 

Surveys for Evaluating Act Against 

AIDS Social Marketing Campaign 

Phases Targeting Consumers (Generic 

ICR, OMB# 0920–0920, Expires 2/28/

2015)—Extension—National Center for 

HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB 

Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

In response to the continued HIV 

epidemic in our country, CDC has 

launched Act Against AIDS, a 5-year, 

multifaceted communication campaign 

to reduce HIV incidence in the United 

States. CDC plans to release the 

campaign in phases, with some of the 

phases running concurrently. Each 

phase of the campaign will use mass 

media and direct-to-consumer channels 

to deliver HIV prevention and testing 

messages. Some components of the 

campaign will be designed to provide

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 32 / Wednesday, February 18, 2015 / Notices 8655 

basic education and increase awareness 

of HIV/AIDS among the general public, 

and others will be targeted to specific 

subgroups or communities at greatest 

risk of infection. The current study 

addresses the need to assess the 

effectiveness of these social marketing 

messages aimed at increasing HIV 

awareness and delivering HIV 

prevention and testing messages among 

at-risk populations. 

This extension of an ongoing study 

will evaluate the Act Against AIDS 

(AAA) social marketing campaign aimed 

at increasing HIV/AIDS awareness, 

increasing prevention behaviors, and 

improving HIV testing rates among 

consumers. A total of 36,000 

respondents were originally approved 

for this 3-year data collection. Since the 

original approval date, 4,250 

respondents have participated in the 

surveys. The number of remaining 

respondents for the 3-year period is 

31,750. We anticipate screening 

approximately 52,915 individuals 

annually to achieve 10,583 respondents 

annually. The information collected 

from each of the data collections were 

used to evaluate specific AAA campaign 

phases. We are requesting additional 

time to continue to survey other AAA 

target audiences and campaign phases 

and measuring exposure to each phase 

of the campaign and interventions 

implemented under AAA. 

Depending on the target audience for 

the campaign phase, the study screener 

will vary. The study screener may 

address one or more of the following 

items: race/ethnicity, sexual behavior, 

and sexual orientation. Each survey will 

have a core set of items asked in all 

rounds, as well as a module of questions 

relating to specific AAA activities and 

communication initiatives. 

Survey respondents will be selected 

from a combination of sources, 

including a national opt-in email list 

sample and respondent lists generated 

by partnership organizations (e.g., the 

National Urban League, the National 

Medical Association). Participants will 

self-administer the survey at home on 

personal computers. There is no cost to 

the respondents other than their time. 

The total number of estimated annual 

burden hours is 7,056.
