Proposed Project 

HIV Outpatient Study (HOPS)— 

New—National Center for HIV/AIDS, 

Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention 

(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention requests a three-year 

approval for the HIV Outpatient Study 

data collection activity. The HIV 

Outpatient Study (HOPS) is a 

prospective longitudinal cohort of HIVinfected outpatients at nine wellestablished private HIV care practices 

and university-based U.S. clinics, in 

Tampa, Florida; Washington, DC; Stony 

Brook, New York; Chicago, Illinois; 

Denver, Colorado; and Philadelphia, 

Pennsylvania. 

Clinical data are abstracted on 

ongoing basis from the medical records 

of adult HIV-infected HOPS study 

participants, who also complete an 

optional telephone/Web-based 

behavioral assessment as part of their 

annual clinic visit, which on average 

takes about seven minutes. Before 

enrolling in this study, all potential 

study participants will undergo an 

informed consent process (including 

signing of a written informed consent) 

which is estimated to take 15 minutes. 

The core areas of HOPS research 

extending through the present HIV 

treatment era include (i) monitoring 

death rates and causes of death, (ii) 

characterizing the optimal patient 

management strategies to reduce HIVrelated morbidity and mortality (e.g., 

effectiveness of antiretroviral therapies 

and other clinical interventions), (iii) 

monitoring of sexual and drug use 

behaviors to inform Prevention with 

Positives, and (iv) investigating 

disparities in the HIV care continuum 

by various demographic factors. In 

recent years, the HOPS has been 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 3 / Tuesday, January 6, 2015 / Notices 507 

instrumental in bringing attention to 

emerging issues in chronic HIV 

infection with actionable opportunities 

for prevention, including cardiovascular 

disease, fragility fractures, renal and 

hepatic disease, and cancers. The HOPS 

remains an important source for multiyear trend data concerning conditions 

and behaviors for which data are not 

readily available elsewhere, including: 

Rates of opportunistic illnesses, rates of 

comorbid conditions (e.g., hypertension, 

obesity, diabetes) and antiretroviral drug 

resistance. 

Data will be collected through 

medical record abstraction by trained 

abstractors and by telephone or internetbased, computer-assisted interviews at 

nine funded study sites in six U.S. 

cities. Collection of data abstracted from 

patient medical records provides data in 

five general categories: Demographics 

and risk behaviors for HIV infection; 

symptoms; diagnosed conditions 

(definitive and presumptive); 

medications prescribed (including dose, 

duration, and reasons for stopping); all 

laboratory values, including CD4+ Tlymphocyte (CD4+) cell counts, plasma 

HIV–RNA determinations, and 

genotype, phenotype, and trophile 

results. Data on visit frequency, AIDS, 

and death are acquired from the clinic 

chart. 

Data collected using a brief Telephone 

Audio-Computer Assisted SelfInterview (T–ACASI) survey or an 

identical Web-based Audio-Computer 

Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI) 

include: Age, sex at birth, use of alcohol 

and drugs, cigarette smoking, adherence 

to antiretroviral medications, types of 

sexual intercourse, condom use, and 

disclosure of HIV status to partners. 

We anticipate that 450 new HOPS 

study participants will be recruited 

annually into the HOPS from a pool of 

HIV-infected individuals currently in 

HIV-care at the nine aforementioned 

clinics (50 patients per site). Patients are 

approached during one of their routine 

clinic visits to participate in the HOPS. 

Patients interested in participating in 

the HOPS are given detailed information 

about the nature of the study and 

provided with written informed consent 

that must be completed prior to 

enrollment. 

The 450 newly enrolled participants 

each year will be added to the database 

of existing participants such that 

approximately 2,500 participants will be 

seen in the HOPS each year. Medical 

record abstractions will be completed 

on all HOPS participants, and impose 

no direct burden on HOPS study 

participants. 

Participation of respondents is 

voluntary. There is no cost to the 

respondents other than their time.

Announcement of the Award of an 

Urgent Single-Source Grant to the 

Center for Survivors of Torture in 

Dallas, TX. 

AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement, 

ACF, HHS. 

ACTION: Announcement of the award of 

an urgent single-source grant to the 

Center for Survivors of Torture to 

provide mental health services for 

victims of torture. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF), Office of 

Refugee Resettlement (ORR) announces 

the award of an urgent single-source 

grant in the amount of $250,000 to the 

Center for Survivors of Torture (CST) in 

Dallas, TX, to ensure incoming refugee 

populations in Texas have access to 

mental health services. 

DATES: The project period for the award 

is July 1, 2014 through September 29, 

2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kenneth Tota, Deputy Director, Office of 

Refugee Resettlement, 901 D. Street 

SW., Washington, DC 20047. Telephone: 

202–401–4858. Email: kenneth.tota@

acf.hhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CST is the 

only accredited mental health care 

provider of specialized torture survivor 

mental health treatment services in 

Texas and the surrounding area. Many 

refugees have been victims of torture. 

Approximately 48,000 individual 

refugees reside in the areas covered by 

CST. Texas is a top resettlement 

location with one of the highest 

concentrations of refugees in the United 

States. In the past few years, an 

increasing need for mental health 

services has been associated with 

refugee populations from Iraq, Burma, 

and Bhutan who have suffered trauma 

and torture due to war and genocide in 

those countries. Currently, the U.S. 

refugee resettlement program is seeing a 

rise in refugees from the Democratic 

Republic of Congo (DRC). The United 

Nations High Commissioner for 

Refugees has determined this group is 

particularly at risk due to decades of 

extreme violence in DRC and recent 

arrivals have shown a compelling need 

for mental health services upon 

resettlement. 

CST services are critical to meeting 

the mental health needs of individuals 

who have survived torture. They 

provide evaluation and counseling to 

children, adolescents, adults, couples, 

and families. Additionally, CST offers 

group therapy, psychosocial activities, 

and medication management. In 

addition to these direct services, CST 

also provides training on refugee mental 

health issues to other organizations in 

the area, including schools, health 

clinics, and social services agencies. 

During the period of April 1, 2013 

through March 31, 2014, CST provided 

free comprehensive mental health 

services to 355 ORR clients. More than 

82 percent of these clients experienced 

a reduction in symptoms.
