Proposed Project
Surveys of Past HIV Prevention Technology Transfer Efforts--New--
National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of these surveys is to study the effectiveness of
providing HIV prevention agencies with packages intervention, training,
and technical assistance to ensure the agencies' maintenance of the
intervention. CDC will use the results of the surveys to develop a
national program for dissemination and support of packaged
interventions that will increase the likelihood that agencies will
conduct them with total fidelity for several years. The respondents are
staff members of 16 prevention agencies that implemented one of five
unique, packaged interventions between 1997 and 2000 as part of CDC's
ongoing Replicating Effective Programs (REP) project.
A survey will be administered over the telephone to agency
administrators of the 16 prevention agencies that implemented
intervention packages by the REP project. Additional surveys will be
administered in-person to one Intervention Supervisor and two
Intervention Facilitators at agencies that are continuing to implement
the REP-packaged intervention. The objectives of the surveys include,
but are not limited
[[Page 71537]]
to (a) identification of factors associated with maintenance and
termination of REP-packaged interventions; (b) determination of why and
how agencies adapted the packaged interventions; (c) examination of the
impact of elapsed time on maintenance of the intervention and fidelity
to intervention protocols; (d) identification of any differences
between the type of agency (e.g., community-based organization or
health department) on maintenance and fidelity; (e) identification of
any difference between the type of original researcher (e.g., academic
or non-profit) on maintenance and fidelity; (f) identification of
perceived and actual benefits as well as instrumental and conceptual
utility of REP-packaged interventions that can be used in marketing the
intervention packages to other HIV prevention providers. Researchers
administering the in-person surveys will also assess fidelity to
intervention protocols by observing facilitators delivering the
intervention and by recording their observations on a checklist
designed for the particular intervention being observed.
Survey questionnaire data will be collected once from each
respondent (i.e., agency administrator, intervention supervisor,
intervention facilitator). CDC is requesting OMB approval to collect
this data for one year. There are no costs to the respondents other
than their time. Total burden hours for this data collection are 105
hours.
