Proposed Project

    Formative Research to Inform an HIV Testing Social Marketing 
Campaign for African American Heterosexual Men--New--National Center 
for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention 
(NCHHSTP)[Proposed], Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases 
(CCID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    This project involves formative research to inform the development 
of the HIV Testing Social Marketing Campaign for African American 
Heterosexual Men, a CDC-sponsored social marketing campaign aimed at 
increasing HIV testing rates among

[[Page 74542]]

young, single, African American men. The study entails conducting focus 
groups and interviews with a sample of single African American 
heterosexual men, ages 18 to 45, with less than 4 years of college 
education to: (1) Explore participants' knowledge, attitudes and 
beliefs about HIV and HIV testing to inform the development of campaign 
messages; (2) identify the most motivating approach, supporting data, 
and key messages for materials development; (3) test creative concepts, 
potential campaign themes, logos and names; and (4) test creative 
materials developed based on the findings from the previous phases of 
the research. Findings from this study will be used by CDC and its 
partners to inform current and future program activities.
    We expect a total of 306 participants to be screened for 
eligibility. Of the 306 participants who are screened, we expect that 
81 people will participate in a focus group and 72 people will 
participate in an interview. There are no costs to the respondents 
other than their time.
