Proposed Project
Resources and Services for the CDC National Prevention Information
Network--(OMB Control No. 0920-0255)--Extension--National Center for
HIV, STD, & TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP)
proposes to continue data collection for the Resources and Services
Database on CDC National Prevention Information Network.
The CDC, NCHSTP program has the primary responsibility within the
CDC and the U.S. Public Health Service for the prevention and control
of HIV infection, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), tuberculosis
(TB), and related infections, as well as for community-based HIV
prevention activities, syphilis and TB elimination programs. To support
NCHSTP's mission and to link Americans to prevention, education, and
care services, the CDC National Prevention Information Network (NPIN)
serves as the U.S. reference, referral, and distribution service for
information on HIV/AIDS, STDs, and TB. NPIN is a critical component of
the network of government agencies, community organizations,
businesses, health professionals, educators, and human services
providers that educate the American public about the grave threat to
public health posed by HIV/AIDS, STDs, and TB, and provides services
for persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Established in 1988, the NPIN Resources and Services Database
contains entries on approximately 15,000 organizations and is the most
comprehensive listing of HIV/AIDS, STD and TB resources and services
available throughout the country. This database describes national,
state and local organizations that provide services related to HIV/
AIDS, STDs, and TB, services such as; counseling and testing,
prevention, education and support. The NPIN reference staff relies on
the Resources and Services Database to respond to thousands of requests
each year for information or referral from community based
organizations, state and local health departments, and health
professionals working in HIV/AIDS, STD and TB prevention. The CDC-INFO
(formerly the CDC National AIDS Hotline) staff also uses the NPIN
Resources and Services Database to refer up to 500,000 callers each
year to local programs for information, services, and treatment. The
American public can also access the NPIN Resources and Services
database through the NPIN Web site. More than 24 million hits by the
public to the Web site are recorded annually.
A representative from each new organization identified will be
administered the resource organization questionnaire via the telephone.
Representatives may include registered nurses, social and community
service managers, health educators, or social and human service
assistants. As part of the verification process for organizations
currently included in the Resources and Services Database, about 30
percent of the organization's representatives will receive a copy of
their current database entry by electronic mail, including an
introductory message and a list of instructions. The remaining 70
percent will receive a telephone call to review their database record.
This request is for a 3-year renewal of clearance. There are no costs
to respondents other than their time.
