Proposed Project
Medical Monitoring Project (MMP) (OMB No. 0920-0740, exp. June
2010.)--Revision--National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Some MMP interview questions were revised to make them easier for
patients to understand and respond appropriately. Medical record
abstraction sections were removed, and a provider survey has been
added. Revisions to previously approved instruments have been included.
The purpose of MMP is to supplement the HIV/AIDS surveillance programs
in 26 selected state and local health departments, which collect
information on persons diagnosed with, living with, and dying from HIV
infection and AIDS.
MMP collects data on behaviors and clinical outcomes from a
probability sample of HIV-infected adults receiving care in the U.S.
Collection of data from interviews with HIV-infected patients provides
information on patient demographics, and the current levels of
behaviors that may facilitate HIV transmission: Sexual and drug use
behaviors; patients' access to, use of and barriers to HIV-related
secondary prevention services; utilization of HIV-related medical
services; and adherence to drug regimens. Collection of data from
patient medical records provide information on: Demographics and
insurance status; the prevalence and incidence of AIDS-defining
opportunistic illnesses and co-morbidities related to HIV disease; the
receipt of prophylactic and antiretroviral medications; and whether
patients are receiving screening and treatment according to Public
Health Service guidelines. The provider survey will collect data from a
nationally representative sample of HIV care providers selected to
participate in MMP. The provider survey will collect information on:
Health care providers' professional training history, ongoing sources
of training and continuing education about HIV care and treatment,
perceptions of patients' barriers to care and reasons for declining HIV
care, awareness of HIV related resources, and approach to
antiretroviral therapy management and HIV risk reduction counseling. No
other Federal agency collects national population-based behavioral and
clinical information from HIV-infected adults in care or HIV care
providers.
The data will have significant implications for policy, program
development, and resource allocation at the state/local and national
levels. Users of MMP data include, but are not limited to, Federal
agencies, State and local health departments, clinicians, researchers,
and HIV prevention and care planning groups.
There are no costs to the respondents other than their time.
The total estimated annualized burden hours are 9,603.
