Proposed Project

    Information Collection of the Resources and Services Database of 
the National Prevention Information Network-Extension--National Center 
for HIV, STD, & TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP) 
proposes to continue data collection for the Resources and Services 
Database on CDC National Prevention Information Network.
    The CDC, NCHSTP program has the primary responsibility within the 
CDC and the U.S. Public Health Service for the prevention and control 
of HIV infection, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), tuberculosis 
(TB), and related infections, as well as for community-based HIV 
prevention activities, syphilis and TB elimination programs. To support 
NCHSTP's mission and to link Americans to prevention, education, and 
care services, the CDC National Prevention Information Network (NPIN) 
serves as the U.S. reference, referral, and distribution service for 
information on HIV/AIDS, STDs, and TB. NPIN is a critical member of the 
network of government agencies, community organizations, businesses, 
health professionals, educators, and human services providers that 
educate the American public about the grave threat to public health 
posed by HIV/AIDS, STDs, and TB, and provides services for persons 
infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
    Established in 1988, the NPIN Resources and Services Database 
contains entries on approximately 15,000 organizations and is the most 
comprehensive listing of HIV/AIDS, STD and TB resources and services 
available throughout the country. This database describes national, 
state and local organizations that provide services related to HIV/
AIDS, STDs, and TB, services such as; counseling and testing, 
prevention, education and support. The NPIN reference staff relies on 
the Resources and Services Database to respond to thousands of requests 
each year for information or referral from community based 
organizations, state and local health departments, and health 
professionals working in HIV/AIDS, STD and TB prevention. The CDC-INFO 
(formerly the CDC National AIDS Hotline) staff also uses the NPIN 
Resources and Services Database to refer up to 500,000 callers each 
year to local programs for information, services, and treatment. The 
American public can also access the NPIN Resources and Services 
database through the NPIN Web site. More than 24 million hits and 2 
million visits by the public to the website are recorded annually.
    A representative from each new organization identified will be 
administered the resource organization questionnaire via the telephone. 
Representatives may include registered nurses, social and community 
service managers, health educators, or social and human service 
assistants. As part of the update and verification process for 
organizations currently included in the Resources and Services 
Database, about 30 percent of the organization's representatives will 
receive a copy of their current database entry by electronic mail, 
including an introductory message and a list of instructions. The 
remaining 70 percent will receive a telephone call to review their 
database record. This request is for a 3-year renewal of clearance. 
There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated annual burden hours are 3,007.
