11 Describe the purpose of the system.

The purpose of this information collection request is to
conduct formative research with healthcare providers in
support of “Let’s Stop HIV Together”, an HIV preventionfocused social marketing campaign funded by CDC. The
formative research will involve conducting semi-structured, indepth interviews (in-person or via video conference or
telephone) with healthcare providers who will also be asked to
complete a brief, web-based companion survey. The
information collected through the system will be used by CDC
to inform the development and/or revision of campaignrelated messages, concepts, and materials about HIV
prevention, testing, and care for healthcare providers.

CDC's contractor and/or a third-party vendor will recruit
participants for the interviews. Contractors are indirect. The
third-party vendor's systems will collect and store responses to
web-based survey questions. Responses will include
sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., race/ethnicity, gender,
age, etc.), clinical practice characteristics (e.g., practice type,
provider type, area of expertise, years in practice, patient
characteristics, etc.), information needs, use of electronic

about the specific data elements.)
In addition, the recruiters will collect personally-identifiable
information (PII) during the recruitment process, including
participants names, email and physical addresses, phone
numbers, and email addresses. Depending on the recruitment
needs for the round of data collection, services of a subcontractor (i.e., third party vendor) will be acquired to facilitate
identification of participants who meet our selection/inclusion
criteria. This may vary.

The overall purpose of this data collection is to gather input
from healthcare providers on HIV-related topics to help inform
the development of the Let's Stop HIV Together
communication campaign. The primary data collection mode is
individual interviews which will be supplemented with
quantitative data gathered through a brief companion webbased survey. During recruitment, PII will be collected so that
recruiters can remind participants of upcoming interview
appointments. All PII will be kept in locked file cabinets or
secure online servers and will be destroyed after the interviews
are completed. No PII will be sent to CDC. Further, PII will not
be linked to survey or interview responses.
Provide an overview of the system and describe the
13 information it will collect, maintain (store), or share,
either permanently or temporarily.

For the companion survey, the survey vendor will email
participants a link to the voluntary, self-administered survey.
The surveys use Transport Layer Security (TLS version 1.2)
encryption for all transmitted data. Data at rest are also
encrypted, and data are isolated from other user's data. The
data are encrypted end-to-end and only the contractor can
decrypt the data. The information that will be collected,
maintained, and shared by the survey system is described in
#12. The survey does not involve collection of PII. The . PII will
only be collected by the contractor/sub-contractor for the
purpose of recruitment. These data will be stored and
encrypted and will only be used for the recruitment process.
Authentication is via username and password; PII will be
destroyed after the data collection process and will not be
transferred to CDC.

Describe the process in place to resolve an

that the PII is inaccurate. If no process exists, explain
why not.

We do not anticipate that this will be an issue due to the nature
of the data collection. However, the consent form tells
individuals that they can contact the contractor's project
director and/or office of research protection (ORP) if they have
concerns. Contact information for these entities are provided
along with the contractor's hours of operation.

system to make them aware of their responsibilities

No more than 2 contractor staff will have access to data files
containing PII. These staff have received training from the
Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) Program on
human subjects, including data privacy and research ethics.
Contractor staff are also required to complete an IT security
awareness training. Third-party vendor staff involved with the
study will be required to sign a privacy agreement prior to
recruitment. CDC staff will complete all required trainings on
human subjects and data privacy, including the Security and
Awareness Training.

Describe the process and guidelines in place with
37 regard to the retention and destruction of PII. Cite
specific records retention schedules.

The contractor and third-party vendor will destroy PII upon
interview completion. Online files will be deleted, and paper
records will be stored securely in a locked receptacle until
shredded. We will adhere to the records control schedules, as
defined within the CDC/ATSDR Records Control Schedule.
Administrative controls: All recruitment staff will be trained
prior to recruitment, which will entail procedures for collecting,
storing, and eventual destruction of PII. Additionally, thirdparty recruiters will be required to sign a confidentiality
agreement before they are permitted to work on the study.

Describe, briefly but with specificity, how the PII will
38 be secured in the system using administrative,
technical, and physical controls.

Technical controls: Access to PII will be limited to recruitment
staff. PII will be locked in a file cabinet or stored on online
servers accessible only to staff who are approved to access the
information by the contractor’s project director. Survey data,
which does not include PII, will initially be stored by the survey
vendor. The data will be encrypted at rest and in transit, from
the participant to the survey vendor and from the survey
vendor to the contractor. Data are encrypted end-to-end and
only the contractor will have access to the data using a master
key. When data are transported to the contractor over TLS,
they are then saved to a network share drive behind a firewall
which only authorized users have access to.
Physical controls: Computers are password-protected, and
access to online servers is granted to staff permitted to work
on the project by the project director. Access to facilities is
restricted to contractor employees.
