Proposed Projects

    1. Evaluation of The National Center for HIV, STD, and TB 
Prevention, Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, Internet site--New--The 
proposed research is to assure that intended audiences find the 
information on the Internet site developed by the National Center for 
HIV, STD and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention 
(DHAP) easy to access, clear, informative and useful. Specifically, the 
research will examine whether the information is presented in an 
appropriate technological format and whether it meets the needs of 
``visitors'' to the Internet site. Information on the site focuses on 
HIV prevention, care, and epidemiology. The site is designed to serve 
the general public, persons at risk for HIV infection, persons with 
HIV/AIDS, and health professionals.
    The information generated from this research will enable DHAP to 
provide information on this Internet site that meets the needs, wants 
and preferences of the target audiences identified above. Additionally, 
the center is committed to developing a standardized process for 
including such audience testing in subsequent materials development 
projects. The proposed process will contribute to the foundation for 
establishing a standardized process for such assessment. The cost of 
the respondent is $3,360
