DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

HUMAN SERVICES

National Institutes of Health

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request; Enhancing Access

and Measuring the Effectiveness of

HIV/AIDS Information Methods

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of

Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995, the National

Library of Medicine (NLM), the National

Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted

to the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) a request to review and approve

the information collection listed below.

This proposed information collection

was previously published in the Federal

Register on May 5, 2000, in Volume 65,

No. 88, page 26220 and allowed 60 days

for public comment. No public

comments were received. The purpose

of this notice is to allow an additional

30 days for public comment. The

National Library of Medicine may not

conduct or sponsor, and the respondent

is not required to respond to, an

information collection that has been

extended, revised, or implemented on or

after October 1, 1995, unless it displays

a currently valid OMB control number.

Proposed Collection

Title: Enhancing Access and

Measuring the Effectiveness of HIV/

AIDS Information Methods. Type of

Information Collection Request: New.

Need and Use of Information Collection:

This study will assess the effectiveness

of three information sources within the

African American Community in

disseminating HIV prevention

information. HIV infection and the

dissemination of prevention information

is a major public health task in North

Florida. Three types of African

American communities from Gadsden,

Leon, and Duval counties are selected as

the sites of this study. This will include

communities with rural, mixed rural/

urban, and urban areas represented for

assessing possible differences in health

information channel preferences. This

study will add to the body of knowledge

concerning HIV information

dissemination to African American

communities in two ways: first, by

assessing whether there are differences

in the preferred health information

channels of those living in rural, mixed,

and urban areas; and secondly, by

assessing three information

dissemination channels for

communicating HIV issues to African

American communities. The three

information channels of concern in this

study are community newsletters,

entertainment education, and church

ministries. In the first year of the

project, a brief survey will be conducted

before and after distribution of the

community newsletter to assess how the

community obtains information about

the prevention of HIV infection and

transmission, their preferred sources of

health information, and the

effectiveness of the newsletter. The

initial data collected will be used to

establish a baseline for the project

against which the subsequent project

data can be evaluated.

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households. Type of Respondents:

Residents living in Duval, Gadsden and

Leon counties, Florida. The annual

reporting burden is as follows:

Estimated Number of Respondents: 360;

Estimated Number of Responses per

Respondent: 1; Average Burden Hours

Per Response: .334 and Estimated Total

Annual Burden Hours Requested: 120.

The annualized cost to respondents is

estimated at: $844.80. There are no

Capital Costs to report. There are no

Operating or Maintenance Costs to

report.

Request for Comments

Written comments and/or suggestions

from the public and affected agencies

are invited on one or more of the

following points: (1) Whether the

proposed collection of information is

necessary for the proper performance of

the function of the agency, including

practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information; (3)

Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on those who are to respond, including

the use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.
