Proposed Project

    Formative Research for the Development of CDC's Act Against AIDS 
Social Marketing Campaigns Targeting Consumers--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 purpose of this study is to conduct interviews and focus groups 
in four rounds of data collections (exploratory research, message 
testing, concept testing, materials testing) with consumer groups aged 
18 to 64 over a 3-year period to develop various social marketing 
campaigns aimed at increasing HIV testing rates, increasing HIV 
awareness and knowledge, challenging commonly held misperceptions about 
HIV, and promoting HIV prevention and risk reduction. The research 
results will be used to develop materials for six specific HIV social 
marketing campaigns under the umbrella of the larger Act Against AIDS 
campaign. The target audience for the campaigns include the following 
populations, all ages 18-64 years old: (1) General U.S. population, 
with an emphasis on African Americans and Latinos; (2) men who have sex 
with men (MSM), with an emphasis on Latino MSM; and (3) HIV+ 
individuals.
    The study will screen 2338 people per year for eligibility. Of the 
2338 people screened, it is expected that 500 people will participate 
in focus groups, 500 people will participate in in-depth interviews and 
700 will participate in intercept interviews. All focus group

and in-depth interview participants (total 1000) will complete a brief 
paper and pencil survey. The total estimated annual burden hours are 
2311.
    There are no costs to the respondents other than their time.
