Proposed Project
Formative Research to Develop the Routine HIV Testing for Emergency
Medicine Physicians, Prevention Is Care (PIC), and Partner Services
Social Marketing Campaigns--New--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Coordinating Center for
Infectious Diseases (CCID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This project involves formative research towards the development of
three CDC-sponsored social marketing campaigns: Social Marketing
Campaign to Make HIV Testing a Routine Part of Medical Care for
Emergency Medicine Physicians (Routine HIV Testing), Prevention Is Care
(PIC), and Partner Services (Partner Services). The title has changed
since publication of the 60-day Federal Register Notice (previous title
``Formative Research to Develop Social Marketing Campaigns: Routine HIV
Testing for Emergency Medicine Physicians, Prevention Is Care (PIC),
and Partner Services''). The goals remain the same but the
Gynecologists and Obstetricians have been replaced with emergency
medicine physicians for the Routine HIV Testing Campaign; a new
component (``partner services'') was added along with a paper and
pencil survey; focus groups were eliminated and the number of
individual interviews increased; overall the estimated annualized
burden hours decreased. The goal of the Routine HIV Testing Campaign is
to increase HIV testing rates among individuals who receive care
through the emergency department and the objective of the campaign is
to make HIV testing a routine part of care provided by emergency
medicine physicians. PIC entails encouraging primary care physicians
(PCP) and Infectious Disease Specialists who deliver care to patients
living with HIV to screen their HIV patients for HIV transmission
behaviors and deliver brief messages on the importance of protecting
themselves and others by reducing their risky behaviors. The long-term
objective of the PIC campaign is to establish PIC as the standard of
care for persons living with HIV. The goal of the Partner Services
component of the PIC social marketing campaign is to make HIV partner
services a routine part of medical care. Partner services will greatly
enhance the detection and early referral of individuals with HIV
infection and will greatly reduce the number of new infections. The
study entails conducting interviews to test creative materials with a
sample of emergency medicine physicians for Routine HIV Testing and
with PCP and Infectious Disease Specialists for PIC and Partner
Services. Findings from this study will be used by CDC and its partners
to inform current and future program activities.
Routine HIV Testing will screen 36 physicians a year, for
eligibility. Of the 36 physicians screened annually, it is expected
that 24 will participate in an interview annually.
PIC will screen 81 physicians annually for eligibility. Of the 81
physicians who are screened, it is expected that 54 will participate in
an interview annually.
Partner Services will screen 87 physicians for eligibility each
year. Of the 87 physicians who are screened, it is expected that 58
will participate in an interview annually.
There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annual burden hours are 194.
