Proposed Project

    Resources and Services Database for the CDC National Prevention 
Information Network (formerly Information Collection of the Resources 
and Services Database of the National Prevention Information Network)--
Reinstatement with Change--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral 
Hepatitis, STD, & TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 
Prevention (NCHHSTP) proposes to continue data collection for the 
Resources and Services Database of the CDC National Prevention 
Information Network.
    The CDC, NCHHSTP program has the primary responsibility within the 
CDC and the U.S. Public Health Service for the prevention and control 
of HIV infection, viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted diseases 
(STDs), and tuberculosis (TB), as well as for community-based HIV 
prevention activities, syphilis and TB elimination programs. To support 
NCHHSTP's mission and to link Americans to prevention, education, and 
care services, the CDC National Prevention Information Network (NPIN) 
serves as the U.S. reference, referral, and distribution service for 
information on HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB. NPIN is a 
critical member of the network of government agencies, community 
organizations, businesses, health professionals, educators, and human 
services providers that educate the American public about the grave 
threat to public health posed by HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and 
TB, and provides services for persons infected with human 
immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
    Established in 1988, the NPIN Resources and Services Database 
contains entries on approximately 10,000 organizations and is the most 
comprehensive listing of HIV/AIDS, STD and TB resources and services 
available throughout the country. This database describes national, 
state and local organizations that provide services related to HIV/
AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB services such as counseling and 
testing, prevention, education and support. The NPIN reference staff 
relies on the Resources and Services Database to respond to thousands 
of requests each year for information or referral from community-based 
organizations, state and local health departments, and health 
professionals working in HIV/AIDS, STD and TB prevention. The CDC-INFO 
(formerly the CDC National AIDS Hotline) staff also uses the NPIN 
Resources and Services Database to refer up to 110,000 callers each 
year to local programs for information, services, and treatment. The 
American public can also access the NPIN Resources and Services 
database through the NPIN Web site. More than 29 million hits by the 
public to the website are recorded annually.
    A representative from each new organization identified will be 
administered the resource organization questionnaire via the telephone. 
Representatives may include registered nurses, social and community 
service managers, health educators, or social and human service 
assistants. As part of the verification process for organizations 
currently included in the Resources and Services Database, about 30 
percent of the organization's representatives will receive a copy of 
their current database entry by electronic mail, including an 
introductory message and a list of instructions. The remaining 70 
percent will receive a telephone call to review their database record. 
This request is for a 3-year renewal of clearance. There are no costs 
to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annual burden 
hours are 2,600.
