    Proposed Project: Evaluation of HIV Prevention Program for Women--
OMB No. 0990--New-Office on Women's Health (OWH).
    Abstract: The Office on Women's Health (OWH) is seeking a new 
clearance to conduct data collection activities associated with the 
three-year evaluation of HIV/AIDS prevention programs at minority 
institutions for college women. The evaluation will assess the 
effectiveness of gender-centered HIV prevention models employed to 
address the needs of college women attending six (6) Historically Black 
Colleges and Universities, four (4) Hispanic Serving Institutions, and 
two (2) Tribal Colleges and Universities. Evaluation data will assess 
the extent to which gender sensitive interventions employed by these 
institutions impact HIV/AIDS related knowledge, attitudes, and risk 
behaviors. Results of the evaluation will identify the prevention 
outcomes for college women and the larger campus population.
    The program goals are to (1) Identify effective methods to educate 
and increase awareness for prevention of HIV/AIDS and STDs; (2) develop 
capacity for young, minority women to address prevention education on 
campus; (3) establish partnerships and student organizations to 
increase health education, risk reduction, counseling, HIV/STD testing 
and (4) to ensure that the education is culturally and linguistically 
appropriate for young, minority women. HIV intervention recipients will 
complete a survey at pretest, post-test, and follow-up that assesses 
their HIV/AIDS knowledge, risk behaviors and gender specific attitudes. 
Student data will be submitted on a quarterly basis. Peer facilitators/
health educators will participate in a yearly interview and project 
implementation staff will participate in individual interviews twice 
during each program year that assesses their experiences with the 
program.
