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 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 44, 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 153 participants to be screened for eligibility annually. 
Of the 153 participants who are screened, we anticipate that 72 will 
participate. The 72 participants will be divided; 36 participating in 
focus groups and 36 participating in interviews. Additionally, all 
focus group and interview participants will complete a short ``Paper 
and Pencil'' questionnaire. This is a burden hour reduction from the 60 
Day Federal Register Notice which estimated the annual number of 
respondents at 306, with 153 participating; 81 in focus groups and 72 
in interviews. There are no costs to the respondents other than their 
time. The total estimated annual burden hours are 146.
