developed within 120 days of enactment 

and to be conducted within one year of 

enactment. 

Additionally, in 2005, a panel of 

independent scientists convened by 

ATSDR to explore opportunities for 

conducting additional health studies at 

Camp Lejeune recommended that the 

agency: 

• Identify cohorts of individuals with 

potential exposure, including adults 

who lived on base; adults who resided 

off base, but worked on base; children 

who lived on base; and those who may 

have been exposed while in utero; and 

• Conduct a feasibility assessment to 

address the issues involved in planning 

future studies of mortality, cancer 

incidence, and other health outcomes of 

interest at the base. 

In response, ATSDR prepared a report 

on the feasibility of conducting future 

epidemiological studies at the base. 

ATSDR determined that available 

databases could be used to identify 

adults who lived at the base or civilians 

who worked at the base during the 

period when drinking water was 

contaminated with volatile organic 

compounds (VOCs). 

In addition to questions on cancers, 

the health survey instrument will 

include questions on non-fatal diseases 

that can be confirmed by medical 

records and are known or suspected of 

being associated with VOCs. 

This project proposes to examine the 

relationship between medically 

confirmed cancers and drinking water 

contaminated with VOCs including 

trichloroethylene (TCE), 

perchloroethylene, (PCE), and BTEX 

(benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and 

xylenes) compounds by mathematically 

modeling the exposure to contaminated 

drinking water while living or working 

at Camp Lejeune. 

The relationship between the 

following non-fatal diseases that can be 

confirmed by medical records and VOCcontaminated drinking water will also 

be examined: Parkinson’s disease, 

kidney failure and other severe kidney 

diseases, severe liver diseases, lupus, 

aplastic anemia, TCE-related skin 

disorders, scleroderma, multiple 

sclerosis, motor neuron disease/ 

amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and 

infertility. In addition, the health survey 

instrument will include questions on 

miscarriages occurring to women who 

were pregnant while residing or 

working on base. 

The health survey instrument will 

request information about the type of 

cancer or non-fatal, non-cancer disease, 

date of diagnosis, hospital of diagnosis, 

and doctor who diagnosed the disease to 

facilitate the acquisition of medical 

record confirmation. Because medical 

records are usually unavailable for 

miscarriages, the survey will not request 

information to facilitate medical record 

confirmation of this adverse outcome. 

For cancers, state of diagnosis will also 

be obtained to facilitate acquisition of 

cancer registry data. Self-reported 

cancers and other diseases will be 

confirmed by medical records or cancer 

registrations. To facilitate medical 

record confirmation, the participant will 

be asked to provide a copy of the 

medical record to ATSDR or to sign a 

medical records release form allowing 

ATSDR to gain access to the medical 

record. The survey will also collect 

information on residential history on 

base, occupational history, and 

information on several risk factors (e.g., 

socio-economic status, demographics, 

smoking, alcohol consumption, etc.). A 

space will also be provided so that the 

respondent can report other disease 

conditions. The collected information 

will be used to assign exposure status 

and to assess potential confounding. 

To improve the credibility of the 

study, it is necessary to include an 

external, unexposed comparison group, 

similar in all respects to the Marines 

and civilian workers at Camp Lejeune 

except for exposure to VOCcontaminated drinking water. Camp 

Pendleton is that comparison group. 

As required by law, health surveys 

will also be mailed to those who 

registered with the United States Marine 

Corps. Health surveys completed by 

those who were identified solely 

because they registered with the USMC 

will be analyzed separately (‘‘registered’’ 

group). 

There are no costs to the respondents 

other than their time. The estimated 

annualized burden hours are 58,013.

Proposed Project 

Development and Testing of an HIV 

Prevention Intervention Targeting Black 

Bisexually-Active Men—New—National 

Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, 

STD, and Tuberculosis Prevention 

(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

African Americans continue to be 

disproportionately affected by HIV/ 

AIDS. Results from the National HIV 

Behavioral Surveillance Project showed 

that during 2001–2004 AfricanAmericans accounted for the majority of 

HIV/AIDS diagnoses in 33 states. Black 

men who have sex with men (MSM) 

have been identified as the population 

with the highest rates of HIV infection 

in the U.S. and as a population in need 

of new HIV prevention interventions. 

Previous research indicates that 20% to 

40% of Black MSM also have female sex 

partners. Interventions developed for 

gay men may not be relevant or 

appropriate for men who have sex with 

men and women (MSMW), many of 

whom do not self-identify as gay and 

who may need different prevention 

strategies for their male and female 

partners. There are no effective HIV risk 

reduction interventions for AfricanAmerican MSMW. 

The purpose of the proposed study is 

to develop and pilot-test three novel 

behavioral interventions to reduce 

sexual risk for HIV infection and 

transmission among African-American 

MSMW who do not inject drugs. 

Eligible respondents will be recruited 

using chain referral sampling 

techniques. Three study sites (Public 

Health Management Corporation 

(PHMC), Nova Southeastern University 

(NOVA), and California State University 

(CSU) at Dominguez Hills) will use a 

randomized controlled trial to evaluate 

the effectiveness of the intervention. 

Depending on the site, respondents will 

be reimbursed up to a total of $305 for 

their time and effort over the course of 

the study. If these interventions are 

found to be effective, organizations that 

implement risk-reduction interventions 

will be able to use the curricula to 

intervene with this population more 

successfully. Ultimately, the beneficiary 

of this data collection will be AfricanAmerican MSMW. There is no cost to 

respondents other than their time. The 

total estimated annual burden hours are 

2,250.

Background and Brief Description 

The need for prevention and 

reduction of overweight and obesity is 

compelling. In the U.S., 65% of adults 

are overweight or obese (obesity is 

defined as having a body mass index of 

30 or more). Obesity contributes to 

chronic conditions such as
