Proposed Project

    Formative Research to Inform an HIV Testing Social Marketing 
Campaign for African American Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM), formally 
known as Formative Research to Inform an HIV Testing Social Marketing 
Campaign for African American Heterosexual Men [OMB No. 0920-0762] 
[exp. 01/31/2011]--Revision--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral 
Hepatitis, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis Elimination 
Programs (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The purpose of the proposed revised study is to conduct formative 
research for the development of an HIV testing social marketing 
campaign for African American MSM, a CDC-sponsored social marketing 
campaign aimed at increasing HIV testing rates among young, African 
American MSM. The study entails conducting interviews with a sample of 
African American MSM, ages 18 to 44 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. Changes to the previous approved data collection consist of 
a change in the target audience from African American heterosexual men 
to African American Men who have sex with men. Instead of a combination 
of interviews and focus groups, now only interviews will be conducted.
    A total of 288 participants will be screened for eligibility in 12 
cities with high incidence and prevalence of HIV. Of the participants 
screened, 144 men will complete individual interviews and a short paper 
and pencil survey. Appropriate consent processes will be used to obtain 
verbal consent at the screening and interview phases of this study. The 
Institutional Review Board at CDC has approved the revised study. There 
are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The total 
annualized burden hours are 228.
