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 campaigns will target consumers 
aged 18-64. Some campaigns will target the general public as a whole 
and other campaigns will focus on specific subpopulations at greatest 
risk for HIV infection. The target audiences will include Latinos, men 
who have sex with men (MSM), HIV-positive individuals and African 
Americans.
    The study will screen 2338 people per year for eligibility. Of the 
2,338 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.
    There are no costs to the respondents other than their time.
    The total estimated annual burden hours are 2,311.
