Proposed Project

    Community-based Organization (CBO) Monitoring and Evaluation 
Project (CMEP) of Respect--New--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral 
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP)

Background and Brief Description

    CDC began formally partnering with CBOs in the late 1980s to expand 
the reach of HIV prevention efforts. CBOs were, and continue to be, 
recognized as important partners in HIV prevention because of their 
history and credibility with target populations and their access to 
groups that may not be easily reached. Over time, CDC's program for HIV 
prevention by CBOs has grown in size, scope, and complexity to respond 
to changes in the epidemic, including the diffusion and implementation 
of Effective Behavioral Interventions (EBIs) for HIV prevention.
    CDC's EBIs have been shown to be effective under controlled 
research environments, but there is limited data on intervention 
implementation and client outcomes in real-world settings (as 
implemented by CDC-funded CBOs). The purpose of CMEP-Respect is to (a) 
improve the performance of CDC-funded CBOs delivering particular 
individual- or group-level behavioral interventions by monitoring 
changes in clients' self-reported HIV transmission risk behaviors after 
participating in the intervention; and (b) assess the fidelity of the 
implementation of the selected intervention at the CBO. The project 
also plans to conduct process monitoring of the delivery of the 
intervention in terms of recruitment, retention, data collection, data 
entry, and data management. Four CBOs will receive supplemental funding 
under PS 10-1003 over a five-year period to participate in CMEP-
Respect.
    From July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2015, CBOs will conduct outcome and 
process monitoring for this project. Each agency will recruit 400 men 
who are 18 years of age and older, report having had anal sex with a 
male in the last 12 months, and are enrolled in Respect to participate 
in CMEP-Respect. Each participant will complete a 20 minute, self 
administered, computer based interview prior to their participation in 
the Respect intervention and an 18 minute, self administered, computer 
based interview at two follow-up time points (90- and 180-days 
following the Respect intervention) to assess their HIV and STD related 
attitudes and behavioral risks. CBOs will be expected to retain 80% of 
these participants at both follow-up interviews.
    Throughout the project, funded CBOs will be responsible for 
managing the daily procedures of CMEP-Respect to ensure that all 
required activities are performed, all deadlines are met, and quality 
assurance plans, policies and procedures are upheld. CBOs will be 
responsible for participating in all CDC-sponsored grantee meetings 
related to CMEP-Respect. There are no costs to the respondents other 
than their time. The total estimated annual burden hours are 342.
