Proposed Project

    Promoting HIV Testing among Low Income Heterosexual Young Adult 
Black Men--New--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and 
TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The lifetime risk of acquiring HIV infection for black men is 1 in 
16. Heterosexual transmission is the second highest category for HIV 
infection among black men, yet we know little about how to successfully 
access heterosexual black men with HIV prevention and testing messages. 
CDC is requesting OMB approval for 2 years to collect data for this 3-
phase study. The data collection will take place in Queens and 
Brooklyn, New York.
    The purpose of the proposed study is to elicit attitudes about HIV 
testing among a community-based sample of non-Hispanic black, 
heterosexual men, ages 18-25, who were recently arrested or who were 
recently released from jail/prison. The study will develop culturally-
tailored and gender-specific educational materials that promote HIV 
testing among this population. The data collection process will take 
approximately 2 years.
    There will be a screening for each phase, 30 respondents for the 
one-on-one, 300 respondents for the survey, and 40 for the focus group. 
In Phase 1, local investigators will conduct qualitative interviews 
with 20 non-Hispanic black, heterosexual men, ages 18-25, who were 
recently arrested or who were recently released from jail/prison and 
meet screening criteria. The interviews will identify their attitudes 
towards HIV testing, socio-cultural norms, and perceived behavioral 
control factors that influence HIV testing. The interviews will also 
elicit their opinions of how to promote HIV testing among their peers. 
Each interview will last approximately 1.5 hours. During Phase 2, the 
results from Phase I will be used to identify variables for a survey 
that will examine attitudes towards HIV testing, socio-cultural norms, 
and perceived behavioral control factors to HIV testing intentions and 
behaviors. The survey will include 250 non-Hispanic black heterosexual 
men, ages 18-25, who meet screening criteria. Each survey will last 
approximately 30 minutes.
    During Phase 3, using Phase 1 and 2 results, educational materials 
promoting HIV testing among 24 non-Hispanic black heterosexual men will 
be developed and pilot tested in focus groups of young black men who 
meet screening criteria to evaluate the acceptability of the materials.
    This study will provide important epidemiologic information useful 
for the development of HIV prevention interventions for young black 
men.
    There is no cost to respondents except for their time. The 
estimated annualized burden hours are 265.
