Proposed Projects

    Evaluating National Dissemination Strategies for Effective HIV 
Prevention Programs for Youth--NEW--The National Center for Chronic 
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks OMB approval for an evaluation of 
the dissemination of CDC identified effective education programs from 
national training to the community level to be conducted from 2000 to 
2002. The project aims to enhance the adoption and implementation of 
effective HIV prevention programs. As such, it is directly related to 
the CDC FY 2000 performance plan to reduce the incidence of HIV/AIDS 
through the dissemination of HIV prevention education programs. CDC 
will study the diffusion of two prevention programs. Half of the 
participants attending the training will be randomly selected, by 
state, to receive additional technical assistance and diffusion action

planning. This evaluation will follow two cohorts of respondents: 
Cohort A (Master Trainers and Coalition Leaders) includes education and 
public health agency administrators, health education trainers, and 
community organization and community media leaders who attended the 
national training and who will disseminate the program in their states 
and communities; Cohort B (Local Health Educators and Coalition 
Members) includes local administrators, teachers, and health educators 
in local health departments, schools, media groups, and community 
organizations, who attended a training provided by a Master Trainer/
Coalition Leader. Cohort A will complete a 30-minute survey at 6 months 
and 12 months post-training and also participate in one 90-minute focus 
group conducted by phone. Cohort B will receive one 45-minute survey 
six months after they have received training.
    We assume that each Cohort A participant will, in turn, train 30 
local health educators or coalition members (Cohort B). The total 
annualized burden is estimated to be 1339.5 hours.
