Proposed Projects

    1. Prevention Marketing Initiative Community Demonstration Site 
Project Evaluation--(0920-0343)--Extension--The Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention, National Center for HIV, STD, and TB 
Prevention, Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, Community Assistance, 
Planning, and National Partnership Branch's Prevention Communications 
unit is planning to conduct a longitudinal track study as part of the 
evaluation of a five-city HIV prevention demonstration program. This 
demonstration program is part of the CDC's national Prevention 
Marketing Initiative. The local demonstration program involves the 
integration of social marketing processes and community participation 
in an effort to develop and implement HIV prevention activities.
    Community groups in the local demonstration sites have chosen to 
target people 25 years old and younger using a variety of intervention 
strategies. Decisions about the nature of local interventions are based 
on formative research conducted in each community. It is hoped that 
this demonstration project will result in reductions in HIV risk 
behavior among people 25 years old and younger, as well as enhanced 
collaboration among individuals and organizations in the participating 
communities.
    To evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions, questionnaire 
data will be collected from people 25 years old and under in 
demonstration communities. These data will be collected before and 
after prevention activities and message campaigns are launched. A 
baseline survey is planned in Fall, 1996 under OMB NO. 0920-0343 
(Evaluation of the National AIDS Information and Education Program 
Activities). The cost to respondents is estimated at $10,000.
