Proposed Project
Formative Research to Inform an HIV Testing Social Marketing
Campaign for African American Heterosexual Men--New--National Center
for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP)[Proposed], Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases
(CCID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This project involves formative research to inform the development
of the HIV Testing Social Marketing Campaign for African American
Heterosexual Men, a CDC-sponsored social marketing campaign aimed at
increasing HIV testing rates among
[[Page 74542]]
young, single, African American men. The study entails conducting focus
groups and interviews with a sample of single African American
heterosexual men, ages 18 to 45, with less than 4 years of college
education to: (1) Explore participants' knowledge, attitudes and
beliefs about HIV and HIV testing to inform the development of campaign
messages; (2) identify the most motivating approach, supporting data,
and key messages for materials development; (3) test creative concepts,
potential campaign themes, logos and names; and (4) test creative
materials developed based on the findings from the previous phases of
the research. Findings from this study will be used by CDC and its
partners to inform current and future program activities.
We expect a total of 306 participants to be screened for
eligibility. Of the 306 participants who are screened, we expect that
81 people will participate in a focus group and 72 people will
participate in an interview. There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time.
