be used by CDC and local health 

department staff to assess changes made 

to the NHBS-Trans system to monitor 

the prevalence of HIV among 

transgender women of color and to 

strengthen understanding of the 

behavioral and environmental HIV risk 

factors that contribute to the 

disproportionately high prevalence of 

HIV within this population. Improved 

surveillance of transgender women is 

necessary to help CDC and health 

departments identify areas for 

community-level interventions, track 

the progress of communities in 

implementing change, and evaluate 

interventions that seek to reduce HIV 

risk factors and increase engagement in 

HIV prevention and care. 

CDC requests a three-year approval for 

a revised information collection. Based 

on completion of data collection in 

2019–2020 and evaluation of the 

previous efforts, project activities and 

methods have expanded to allow for 

remote variants of our in-person 

methods, such as interview by 

videoconference or phone. The number 

of Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) 

participating in NHBS-Trans will 

increase (from nine to up to 14) and the 

number of respondents recruited per 

project area will increase from 200 to 

300 adult minority transgender women 

(4,200 interviews total). Selected 

content of the eligibility screener and 

behavioral assessment was revised. 

Data will be collected through 

anonymous, in-person interviews 

conducted with persons systematically 

selected from up to 14 MSAs throughout 

the United States. A brief screening 

interview will be used to determine 

eligibility for participation in the 

behavioral assessment. All participants 

will be provided HIV testing and referral 

to services (as needed) following CDC 

protocol. Each participant will respond 

one time over the course of the threeyear project. Participants will be 

recruited through respondent-driven 

sampling (RDS), a scientifically proven 

recruitment strategy for reaching 

hidden, hard-to-reach, or stigmatized 

populations. To assess non-response 

bias from RDS, peer recruiters will be 

debriefed about their recruitment efforts 

when they return to the field site. This 

information will be used to understand 

if certain racial (or ethnic) groups are 

not responding or if persons are not 

responding for a particular reason. 

Interview data will be recorded on 

secure portable computers, without 

internet connections. Data will be 

transferred to secure, encrypted data 

servers. Data will be stored at CDC and 

shared with local health departments in 

accordance with existing data use 

agreements and the Assurance of 

Confidentiality for HIV/AIDS 

Surveillance Data. Data will be 

disseminated in aggregate through 

academic and agency publications, 

presentations, and reports. The 

information will be collected over a 

three-year period beginning no later 

than two months after OMB approval. 

The NHBS-Trans behavioral 

assessment and optional HIV testing are 

anonymous (neither names nor Social 

Security numbers are collected). Data 

that will be collected through NHBSTrans, while sensitive, are not 

personally identifying. These data will 

provide estimates of (1) behavior related 

to the risk of HIV and other sexually 

transmitted diseases, (2) prior testing for 

HIV, and (3) use of HIV prevention 

services. No other federal agency 

systematically collects this type of 

information from persons at risk for HIV 

infection. These data have substantial 

impact on prevention program 

development and monitoring at the 

local, state, and national levels. 

The burden table below shows the 

estimated annualized burden hours for 

the participants’ time. Annually, 1,540 

participants will complete an eligibility 

screener (an average of five minutes to 

complete), 1,400 participants will 

complete the Behavioral Assessment (an 

average of 40 minutes to complete), and 

1,400 will complete the Recruiter 

Debriefing Form (an average of two 

minutes to complete). The estimated 

total annualized burden is 1,108 hours. 

Participation of respondents is 

voluntary, and there are no costs to 

respondents other than their time.
