    Information Collection Request Title: Develop and Implement 
UCARE4LIFE Message Library OMB No. 0915-xxxx-New.
    Abstract: This project will develop and implement the UCARE4LIFE 
message library aimed at increasing HIV primary care retention rates 
for racial and ethnic minority youth aged 15 to 24, living with HIV/
AIDS. The primary aims are (1) to develop, test, and

[[Page 54660]]

maintain a text message library, which addresses topics of HIV disease 
management, e.g. appointment keeping, retention in care, and medication 
adherence rates; and (2) to develop, implement, conduct, and evaluate a 
pilot study of delivering text messages to targeted youth receiving 
care at Ryan White grantee sites and other clinical sites.
    The first phase of this project will include focus group interviews 
with the target audience to test the messages (Aim 1). Approximately 
128 individuals will be screened to assess focus group eligibility. 
Four focus groups will be conducted with up to eight participants in 
each for a total sample size of 32.
    The second phase of this project involves the evaluation of the 
pilot study (Aim 2). This will encompass data collection with patients 
and providers. Patient participants for the pilot study will be 
recruited from ten clinical sites, some of which will be Ryan White 
grantees. Up to 1,000 individuals will be screened to determine 
eligibility for the pilot study to recruit a sample of 500 participants 
(50 from each clinical site). Patient participants will complete a 
baseline survey, 3-month survey, 6-month survey, and follow-up survey 
at 9 months. In addition, ten patient participants from each clinical 
site will be selected to participate in an in-depth, qualitative 
telephone interview for a total of 100 interviews. Finally, up to three 
clinic staff from the ten participating clinics will take part in in-
depth, qualitative telephone interviews (N=30).
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and 
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for 
this ICR are summarized in the table below.
