    Information Collection Request Title: Midwest HIV Prevention and 
Pregnancy Planning Initiative (MHPPPI).
    Abstract: HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH)/
Office of Women's Health (OWH) is seeking an approval on a new 
information collection request by the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB), the program office initiatives on the evaluation of the MHPPPI 
will be conducted by the AIDS Foundation of Chicago's (AFC) internal 
Research, Evaluation and Data Services (REDS) department, which 
specializes in documenting, evaluating and analyzing the process, 
impact and outcomes of health programs. The evaluation framework for 
MHPPPI includes process monitoring, impact evaluation, outcome 
evaluation and dissemination. The impact evaluation will be informed by 
an initial climate survey of a sample of medical providers within the 
Midwest to develop a conservative baseline estimate of the 
counterfactual model. The counterfactual model will postulate what 
would have happened without the intervention. The impact evaluation 
will also document and analyze the degree to which services are 
integrated in medical settings based on change agent surveys 
administered through participating trainees. The outcome evaluation 
will assess changes that occurred in each domain as a result of the 
intervention, including knowledge, attitudes and behaviors related to 
the specific training content. The overall evaluation goal is to assess 
whether or not MHPPPI:
    (1) Increased the knowledge of providers,
    (2) Facilitated the integration of pregnancy planning into the care 
of HIV-positive women/women with HIV-positive partners, and
    (3) Increased access to innovative HIV prevention options in 
communities with high HIV prevalence.
    Likely Respondents:
    [cir] HIV Primary Care Providers
    [ssquf] Anyone who provides primary HIV care to persons of 
reproductive age (15-49)
    [cir] Reproductive Health Care Providers
    [ssquf] Anyone who provides reproductive health care to HIV+ 
persons or HIV- persons with HIV+ partners.
    [cir] HIV-positive and HIV-negative women receiving reproductive 
health care
