interventions and core public health 

strategies for HIV prevention. CBA is 

provided to support health departments, 

community-based organizations, and 

healthcare organizations in the 

implementation, monitoring and 

evaluation of evidence-based HIV 

prevention interventions and programs; 

building organizational infrastructure; 

and community mobilization to 

decrease stigma and increase HIV 

testing in high risk communities. CBA 

services are requested by health 

departments, community-based 

organizations, and healthcare 

organizations and also offered 

proactively. Under this project, there 

will be no duplication of information 

collection, because it builds on existing, 

OMB approved data collection 

activities. 

The PTCs and CBA providers offer 

classroom and experiential training, 

web-based training, clinical 

consultation, and capacity building 

assistance to maintain and enhance the 

capacity of healthcare professionals to 

control and prevent STDs and HIV. The 

CBA service recipients are healthcare 

professionals who work at communitybased organizations (CBOs), health 

departments, and healthcare 

organizations, most of whom are funded 

directly or indirectly by the CDC, 

involved in HIV prevention service 

delivery. Their positions include HIV 

educator, clinical supervisor, HIV 

prevention specialist, clinician, 

outreach worker, case manager director, 

program coordinator, program manager, 

disease intervention specialist, partner 

services provider, physicians, nurses, 

and health educators, etc. 

CDC is requesting to use two webbased assessments that will be 

administered to recipients of CBA 

services: (1) Training Follow-Up 

Instrument and (2) Technical Assistance 

Satisfaction Instrument. The first 

quantitative assessment will be 

disseminated 90 days after a training 

event to agency staff who participated in 

a training activity. It takes 

approximately 12 minutes to complete. 

The purpose of this web-based 

assessment is to determine the training 

participants’ satisfaction with the 

trainers, training materials, and the 

course pace, benefits from the training, 

and CBA needs, how relevant the 

training was to their work, and whether 

they were able to utilize the information 

gained from the training. The second 

quantitative assessment will be 

disseminated 45 days after a technical 

assistance event to agency staff who 

participated in a technical assistance. 

This instrument takes approximately 12 

minutes to complete. The purpose of the 

second assessment is to assess 

participants’ satisfaction with the 

technical assistance they received, 

intended or actual use of enhanced 

capacity, barriers and facilitators to use, 

and benefits of the technical assistance. 

The purpose of the CBA Key 

Informant Interview is to collect 

qualitative information to assess the 

impact of CBA services on 

organizational capacity (e.g., application 

of knowledge and skills, potential 

organization changes as a result of CBA 

services) and to solicit information 

about how the CBA program can be 

improved. Administered by the project 

contractor, the CBA key informant 

interviews will be conducted via 

telephone with a subset of up to 40 

recipients of CBA services. The 

interview takes approximately 15 

minutes to complete. 

The 7,400 respondents represent an 

average of the number of health 

professionals who receive training and 

technical assistance from the CBA and 

PTC grantees during the years 2010 and 

2011. The data collection is necessary 

(a) to assess CBA consumers’ 

(community-based organizations, health 

departments, and healthcare 

organizations) satisfaction with and 

short-term outcomes from the overall 

CBA program as well as specific 

elements of the CBA program; (b) to 

improve CBA services and enhance the 

Capacity Building Branch’s national 

capacity building strategy over time; (c) 

to assess the performance of the grantees 

in delivering training and technical 

assistance and to standardize the 

registration processes across the two 

CBA programs (i.e., the PTC program 

and the CBA program) and multiple 

grantees funded by each program. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The estimated 

annualized burden hours for this data 

collection activity are 3,710 hours.

Proposed Project 

Contact Investigation Outcome 

Reporting Forms (0920–0900)— 

Revision—(expiration date: October 31, 

2017)—National Center for Emerging 

and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases 

(NCEZID), Division of Global Migration 

and Quarantine (DGMQ), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), Division of Global 

Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) 

requests revision to a currently 

approved information collection, OMB 

Control No 0920–0900, Contact 

Investigation Outcome Reporting Forms. 

CDC is requesting the addition of Ebolaspecific information collection tools to 

supplement the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention’s (CDC) routine 

contact investigation activities so that 

CDC can better assess the risk to 

individuals who may have been 

exposed to a confirmed case of Ebola 

while traveling to or within the United 

States. These forms were approved by 

OMB under an emergency clearance, 

OMB Control No 0920–1032. The 

additional forms to be added are as 

follows: 

• Ebola Airline passenger exposure 

questionnaire—This contact 

investigation form gathers information 

from airline passengers who traveled on 

plane(s) and sat within a 3 foot area 

around the suspected case and travel 

companions of the suspected case to 

determine the level of exposure and 

risk, as well as other passengers who 

may have had contact with the case’s 

bodily fluids. Information gathered in 

this form is shared with the CDC to 

determine risk level. Risk levels are 

outlined in CDC’s Movement and 

Monitoring Guidance. 

• Ebola exposure Assessment Flight 

Crew—The flight exposure 

questionnaire is used to ascertain the 

same relevant information included in 

the passenger questionnaire for all crew 

who worked on flight(s) and came into 

contact with Ebola patient(s). 

• Ebola exposure Assessment 

Cleaning Crew—This form collects the 

same information as the flight crew 

exposure questionnaire, used to 

determine the level of exposure a 

member of the cleaning crew who 

serviced a flight with an ill patient(s). 

• Ebola exposure Assessment Airport 

or other port of entry staff—This 

questionnaire is utilized for airport staff 

who may have come into contact with 

a person ill with Ebola. Airport staff is 

identified through conversations with 

airport authority to determine which 

employees carried out tasks that would 

have put them in contact with the ill 

person or their body fluids. 

• Passengers of other commercial 

conveyance Ebola exposure 

questionnaire—This questionnaire 

collects the same information as the 

airline passenger questionnaire but will 

be utilized for passengers of commercial 

conveyance that is land- or waterborne. 

• Finally, the introduction and 

confirmation script is to be used by CDC 

staff manning open call lines available 

for persons who traveled on planes that 

carried suspected or confirmed patients 

with Ebola. As with the other 

questionnaires, this script assesses the 

risk of a plan passenger who was not in 

the immediate vicinity of the Ebola 

patient but still has concerns about the 

level of exposure and risk of contracting 

the virus. 

CDC is not proposing any changes to 

the routine contact investigation forms 

already approved under this 

information collection request. 

The total burden associated with this 

revision is 10,949 hours, including both 

standard contact investigation forms 

and updated forms to account for Ebola 

transmission. There are no costs to 

respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project 

Using Rapid Assessment Methods to 

Understand Issues in HIV Prevention, 

Care and Treatment in the United 

States—New—National Center for HIV/ 

AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 

Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention requests approval for a 3- 

year clearance to collect data using 

rapid qualitative inquiries to understand 

issues related to HIV prevention, care, 

and treatment in the United States. 

Rapid inquiries are concentrated data 

collection and iterative data analytic 

efforts focused on timely and relevant 

responses to urgent issues and research 

questions. Although we will collect the 

majority of data using qualitative 

methods, many studies covered under 

this generic information collection, will 

involve a mixed methods approach for 

data collection. 

The rapid inquiries will include 

multiple well-established qualitative 

methodologies, which may include but 

not be limited to in-depth individual 

interviews, focus groups, direct 

observations, case studies, document 

reviews, or brief quantitative surveys 

assessing demographics, behaviors, 

attitudes, intentions, beliefs, or other 

attributes of the respondents. In some 

assessments, additional contextual 

information may be collected, such as 

information about the respondents’ 

community, workplaces, or 

organizations and places where they 

interact. CDC expects to qualitative data 

from approximately 1,800 respondents, 

assuming three research studies per year 

with each research study collecting data 

from 200 respondents.
