Proposed Project

    1. Prevention Marketing Initiative Community Demonstration Site 
Project Evaluation--New--The Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention, National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention, Division 
of HIV/AIDS Prevention, Prevention Communication Branch is planning to 
conduct a survey as part of the evaluation of a five-city HIV 
prevention demonstration program that is part of the national 
Prevention Marketing Initiative. The local demonstration program is 
attempting to integrate community participation into a social marketing 
process. Community groups in the local sites have chosen to target 
particular high-risk behaviors and/or their determinants in young 
people under 25 years of age through a variety of intervention 
strategies. Decisions about the nature of local interventions are being 
based on formative research in each geographic area. It is hoped that 
this demonstration program will result in lowering HIV risk behavior 
among youth in the target audiences, and also in enhanced collaboration 
among individuals and organizations in the local communities. To 
evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions, questionnaire data 
will be collected from community social marketing group members before 
and after participation, and surveys of youth in local project areas 
and comparison areas will be undertaken before and after prevention 
message campaigns are launched. Baseline surveys are planned for early 
spring. Total cost to respondents is estimated at $450,000.
