Proposed Project

    HIV/AIDS Awareness Day Programs (0920-0890 exp. 06/30/2014)--
Extension--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and 
Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval of 
a 3-year extension to administer surveys to respondents who plan HIV/
AIDS day awareness activities during the next three years. The name and 
dates for the annual HIV/AIDS awareness day campaigns are: National 
Black HIV Awareness Day--February 7th; National Native HIV/AIDS 
Awareness Day--March 20th; National Asian and Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS 
Awareness Day--May 19th; and National Latino AIDS Awareness Day--
October 15th.
    The purpose of the surveys is to assess the number and types of 
HIV/AIDS prevention activities planned and implemented in observance of 
each of the four noted HIV/AIDS awareness day campaigns. This extension 
is required to continue the work of HIV/AIDS in among the African 
American, Native American, Latino, and Asian Pacific Islander 
populations. Each of the awareness days have reached a landmark year. 
This has been done through national outreach and mobilization efforts 
towards their targeted populations as well as awareness to the general 
population about HIV/AIDS issues that impact their communities.
    The importance of each day has been demonstrated in reaching beyond 
traditional audience. This has been done by collaborating with agencies 
and organizations who serve the public health in areas affected by HIV/
AIDS. A more proactive role has been shared between each of the 
planning committees and the communities they serve. Testing and linkage 
to care has been a staple for each of the days. Also, each of the 
groups has fully used online resources to provide information and 
network with individuals and groups to help with their perspective 
cause(s).
    After the date that each campaign occurs, the event planners will 
be asked to respond to a computer-based survey to collect qualitative 
data. They will go to the designated Web sites to review information 
about the campaigns and go to the section that allows them to enter 
information about their particular event. For example, the event 
planners will be asked to note the kind of events that they planned. 
The survey results are necessary to understand how and where

[[Page 15750]]

HIV/AIDS awareness activities are planned and implemented.
    These survey results will provide important information that will 
be used to develop HIV/AIDS prevention activities. The computer-based 
surveys take up to one hour.
    There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The 
total estimated annual burden hours are 375.
