Proposed Project 

Formative Research and Tool 

Development—New—National Center 

for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 

Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

CDC previously published a clearance 

mechanism to support behavioral 

projects for HIV/ AIDS prevention and 

control (Federal Register, volume 73, 

number 33 page 492 January 3, 2008). 

This project has been expanded to 

include formative research, and 

instrument testing for, sexually 

transmitted infections (STI), viral 

hepatitis, and tuberculosis elimination. 

Formative research is the basis for 

developing effective strategies including 

communication channels, for 

influencing behavior change. It helps 

researchers identify and understand the 

characteristics—interests, behaviors and 

needs—of target populations that 

influence their decisions and actions. 

Formative research is integral in 

developing programs as well as 

improving existing and ongoing 

programs. Formative research also looks 

at the community in which an 

intervention is being or planning to be 

implemented and helps the project staff 

understand the interests, attributes and 

needs of different populations and 

persons in their community. Formative 

research is research that occurs before a 

program is designed and implemented, 

or while a program is being conducted. 

Formative research is an integral part of 

developing programs or adapting 

programs that deal with the complexity 

of behaviors, social context, cultural 

identities, and health care that underlie 

the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS, viral 

hepatitis, STDs, and TB in the U.S. 

CDC conducts formative research to 

develop public-sensitive 

communication messages and userfriendly tools prior to developing or 

recommending interventions, or care. 

Sometimes these studies are entirely 

behavioral but most often they are 

cycles of interviews and focus groups 

designed to inform the formation of a 

product. 

Products from these studies will be 

used for sustainable projects for HIV/ 

AIDS, Sexually Transmitted Infections 

(STI), viral Hepatitis, and Tuberculosis 

prevention that are presented as 

evidence to disease specific National 

Advisory Committees, in order to 

support revisions to existing prevention 

and intervention methods, and new 

recommendations which cannot be 

developed without formative research. 

Much of CDC’s health communication 

takes place within campaigns that have 

fairly lengthy planning periods— 

timeframes that accommodate the 

standard Federal process for approving 

data collections. Short term qualitative 

interviewing and cognitive research 

techniques have previously proven 

invaluable in the development of 

scientifically valid and populationVerDate Nov<24>2008 18:14 Mar 10, 2009 Jkt 217001 PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\11MRN1.SGM 11MRN1

appropriate methods, interventions, and 

instruments. 

This request includes studies 

investigating the utility and 

acceptability of proposed recruitment 

methods, intervention contents and 

delivery, questionnaire domains, 

individual questions, and interactions 

with project staff or electronic data 

collection equipment. These activities 

will also provide information about how 

respondents answer questions and ways 

in which question response bias and 

error can be reduced. Overall, these 

development activities are intended to 

provide information that will increase 

the success of the surveillance or 

research project through increasing 

response rates and decreasing response 

error thereby decreasing future data 

collection burden to the public. The 

studies that will be covered under this 

request will include one or more of the 

following investigational modalities: (1) 

Focus group and individual interviews; 

(2) cognitive interviews for development 

and testing of specific data collection 

instruments; (3) component testing of 

instruments developed from qualitative 

research or communication methods; (4) 

testing of behavioral interventions; (5) 

public acceptance of intervention and 

prevention methods; (6) utilizing 

computer-assisted instruments 

(including Web-based technology). 

Respondents who will participate in 

individual and group interviews 

(qualitative, cognitive, and computerassisted development activities) are 

selected purposely from those who 

respond to recruitment advertisements. 

In addition to utilizing advertisements 

for recruitment, respondents who will 

participate in research on survey 

methods may be selected purposively or 

systematically from within an ongoing 

surveillance or research project. 

CDC estimates that in a given year, 

46,529 individuals will participate in 10 

different information collection 

activities each year, each lasting 

between 6–12 months. 

Participation of respondents is 

voluntary and there is no cost to the 

respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project 

Foreign Quarantine Regulations (42 

CFR part 71), (OMB Control No. 0920– 

0134)—Extension—National Center for 

Preparedness, Detection, and Control of 

Infectious Diseases (NCPDCID), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Section 301 of the Public Health 

Service Act (PHSA) (42 U.S.C. 264) 

authorizes the Secretary of Health and 

Human Services (HHS) to make and 

enforce regulations necessary to prevent 

the introduction, transmission, or 

spread of communicable diseases into 

the United States. Legislation and 

existing regulations governing the 

foreign quarantine activities (42 CFR 

part 71) authorize quarantine officers 

and other personnel to inspect and 

undertake necessary control measures 

with respect to conveyances, persons, 

and shipments of animals and etiologic 

agents entering the United States from 

foreign ports in order to protect the 

public’s health. 

Under the foreign quarantine 

regulations, the master of a ship or 

captain of an airplane entering he 

United States from a foreign port is 

required by public health law to report 

certain illnesses among passengers (42 

CFR 71.21 (b)). In addition to the 

aforementioned list of illnesses which 

must be reported to CDC, the master of 

a ship or captain of an airplane must 

also report (1) hemorrhagic Fever 

Syndrome (persistent fever 

accompanied by abnormal bleeding 

from any site); or (2) acute respiratory 

syndrome (severe cough or severe 

respiratory disease of less than 3 weeks 

in duration); or (3) acute onset of fever 

and severe headache, accompanied by 

stiff neck or change in level of 

consciousness. CDC has the authority to 

collect personnel health information to
