Proposed Project
Medical Monitoring Project Provider Survey-New-National Center for
HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting a 3-year approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) to survey randomly selected HIV care providers (e.g.,
physicians, nurse practitioners and physician's assistants) in the
United States regarding their training history, areas of
specialization, ongoing sources of training and continuing education
about HIV care, and awareness of HIV treatment guidelines and
resources. Results from this survey will be used in conjunction with
data from CDC's Medical Monitoring Project (MMP) to assess who is
providing HIV care, to examine the impact of provider characteristics
on the quality and standard of care being provided to patients with
HIV, to determine opportunities to improve resources available to HIV
care providers, and to evaluate the reasons for sampled providers'
participation and non-participation in MMP. Participation in the survey
is not contingent upon a provider's involvement with the MMP.
All selected HIV care providers will be asked to participate in the
survey, regardless of their participation in the MMP.
For this proposed data collection, MMP project areas have
identified all HIV care providers in their jurisdictions and selected a
sample of 40-60 providers in each jurisdiction to participate in MMP,
including those providers who may not be participating in the MMP. CDC
plans to survey these sampled providers. Respondents will have the
option to use either a Web-based application or paper survey to
participate in the survey. There is no cost to respondents to
participate in this survey other than their time.
