    Proposed Project: Evaluation of HIV Prevention Program for Women--
OMB No. 0990-New--Office on Women's Health (OWH).
    Abstract: 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 STD's; (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.
