Proposed Project

    Morbidity Monitoring Project (MMP)--New--National Center for HIV, 
STD and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Morbidity Monitoring Project (MMP) is a new project. The 
purpose of MMP is to supplement the HIV/AIDS surveillance programs in 
26 selected state and local health departments, which collect 
information on persons diagnosed with, living with, and dying from HIV 
infection and AIDS and will incorporate data elements from two data 
collections: Supplement to HIV/AIDS Surveillance (SHAS) project (0920-
0262) and the Adult/Adolescent Spectrum of HIV Disease (ASD).
    MMP will collect data on behaviors and clinical outcomes from a 
probability sample of HIV-infected adults receiving care in the U.S. 
Collection of data from interviews with HIV-infected patients will 
provide information on patient demographics, and the current levels of 
behaviors that may facilitate HIV transmission: sexual and drug use 
behaviors; patients' access to, use of and barriers to HIV-related 
secondary prevention services; utilization of HIV-related medical 
services; and adherence to drug regimens. Collection of data from 
patient medical records will provide information on: demographics and 
insurance status; the prevalence and incidence of AIDS-defining 
opportunistic illnesses and co-morbidities related to HIV disease; the 
receipt of prophylactic and antiretroviral medications; and whether 
patients are receiving screening and treatment according to Public 
Health Service guidelines. No other Federal agency collects national 
population-based behavioral and clinical information from HIV-infected 
adults in care.
    The data will have significant implications for policy, program 
development, and resource allocation at the state/local and national 
levels. Users of MMP data include, but are not limited to, Federal 
agencies, state and local health departments, clinicians, researchers, 
and HIV prevention and care planning groups. There are no costs to the 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 6,101.
