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.

Proposed Project 

Translation and Dissemination of 

Promising Community Interventions for 

Preventing Obesity—New—Division of 

Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity 

(DNPAO), National Center for Chronic 

Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

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 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
25862 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 89 / Monday, May 10, 2010 / Notices 

hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, stroke, 

coronary heart disease, and 

osteoarthritis. Beyond the human costs, 

economic costs are extreme and are 

climbing. One estimate is that medical 

expenses related to this epidemic 

accounted for 9.1% of total U.S. medical 

expenditures in 1998, and the U.S. 

Surgeon General has estimated that 

direct and indirect costs related to 

obesity totaled $117 billion in 2000. 

Healthy People 2010 established goals 

for obesity reduction, which included 

targets of weight reduction of 15% for 

adults and 5% for children and youth. 

Targeting communities at risk of 

overweight and obesity is an essential 

step toward realizing the goal of 

reversing current trends in obesity. 

Community-based programs to reduce 

risk of heart disease provide some 

models; however, outcomes vary and 

are affected by several confounding 

conditions. A report on prevention of 

childhood obesity, prepared by the 

Institute of Medicine in 2007, 

concluded that there are insufficient 

studies to generate recommendations for 

best practices in obesity prevention. 

Instead, the report compiles promising 

practices, including those set in 

communities. 

CDC plans to apply methodology 

recommended by the CDC Task Force 

on Community Preventive Services to 

improve the translation and 

dissemination of promising practices 

into community-based obesity 

prevention programs. Information 

necessary to this purpose will be 

collected from the general public by a 

contractor. Information will be collected 

concerning respondents’ knowledge, 

attitudes, and beliefs about obesity and 

physical activity; the need for 

community leaders to encourage 

healthier diets and more physical 

activity; and opportunities for 

leveraging current community efforts. 

Two hundred fifty respondents will 

be recruited to participate in four online, small-group discussions over a 

period of about one month. The 

discussions will utilize Voice over 

Internet Protocol technology and will be 

facilitated by a moderator. Each 

discussion will last one hour. In 

preparation for the initial discussion, 

respondents will receive a confirmation 

e-mail and will be asked to review a 

guide to on-line discussion groups. In 

addition, discussion group participants 

will be asked to review a set of briefing 

materials prior to the first on-line group 

meeting. 

Information will also be collected 

through an on-line questionnaire 

administered on two occasions. The 

questionnaire is designed to measure 

the relative importance of various 

proposals for policy and environmental 

change, and whether change has 

occurred in perceptions of roles and 

responsibilities for obesity prevention. 

The questionnaire will be administered 

to the 250 discussion group participants 

before the initial discussion group 

meeting (‘‘pre-test’’), and again after all 

four discussion groups have been 

completed (‘‘post-test’’). 

Finally, the on-line questionnaire will 

be administered to a comparison group 

of 700 respondents. The comparison 

group will complete the questionnaire 

on two occasions; however, this group 

will not participate in the on-line 

discussions or review the briefing 

materials. 

The information collection will be 

used to identify key issues for 

community obesity prevention 

programs, to refine promising obesity 

prevention practices for targeted 

communities, and to facilitate the 

dissemination of promising practices for 

obesity prevention. There are no costs to 

respondents other than their time.
