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 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 44, 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 153 participants to be screened for eligibility annually.
Of the 153 participants who are screened, we anticipate that 72 will
participate. The 72 participants will be divided; 36 participating in
focus groups and 36 participating in interviews. Additionally, all
focus group and interview participants will complete a short ``Paper
and Pencil'' questionnaire. This is a burden hour reduction from the 60
Day Federal Register Notice which estimated the annual number of
respondents at 306, with 153 participating; 81 in focus groups and 72
in interviews. There are no costs to the respondents other than their
time. The total estimated annual burden hours are 146.
