Description

This project determination is for a non-research program evaluation that is planning to get OMB/PRA review and approval. For the purposes of program improvement, data will be collected from participants of the National Learning Community for HIV CBO Leadership eLearning short courses and a 6-week synchronous creative problem-solving intensive. Data will be used to improve outreach efforts; to improve the short courses and the creative problem-solving intensive sessions which are not rated highly by program participants; and to improve access to technology platforms used to deliver these services throughout the program’s duration. In the end, the data collected by the funded recipient, Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF), will be used to evaluate the overall effectiveness of the National Learning Community for HIV CBO Leadership.

CDC's Role

Activity originated and designed by non-CDC staff (awardee or external collaborator): CDC employees or agents will obtain or use anonymous or unlinked data or biological specimens: CDC employees will participate as co-authors in presentation(s) or publication(s): CDC is NOT a recipient or provider of private data, specimens, materials or services: CDC is providing funding

Method Categories

Individual Interview (Quantitative): Individual Interviews (Qualitative)

Methods

A mixed-model data collection approach, utilizing qualitative telephone interviews and quantitative web-based surveys. We anticipate an annual total of 270 HIV CBO leaders (executive directors and program managers) from community-based organizations (CBOs) will register for the National Learning Community, will complete the program’s foundational courses, coaching sessions, and other optional supplemental courses on managing people, programs, and organizations, and will complete a post-participation survey three-months after registering. Participants who complete the foundational courses can participate in the optional National Learning Community’s guided creative problem-solving intensive, a 6-week component made up of 1-2-hour weekly sessions. Because of the additional time commitment, we anticipate that half of all those who register for the National Learning Community will participate in the creative problem-solving intensive component. Therefore, we estimate an annual total of 135 HIV CBO leaders (executive directors and program managers) who participated in the program’s foundational courses will participate in the creative problem-solving intensive and complete the semi-structured phone interview. Leaders from CDC directly funded CBOs will be invited to join the Learning Community by their CDC Prevention Program Branch project officer. National Learning Community for HIV CBO Leadership marketing and advertisement will be conducted by the CBA Provider Network and will reach CDC-funded and non-CDC funded CBOs. Registration is required to participate in the Learning Community. Participation in the post-participation survey and the post creative problem-solving intensive phone interview is voluntary. In the email invitation to complete the post-participation survey and in the opening script that is read for the phone interview, potential participants will be informed that participation is voluntary and during the phone call participants will be asked to give verbal consent to being recorded or for written notes to be taken for data collection purposes. Recordings or call notes are immediately transcribed into digital documents and then the records or call notes will be immediately destroyed leaving only the digital documents for analysis.

Collection of Info, Data, or Bio specimens

Because CDC has funded and co-designed the data collection that will be used for program evaluation, the data collection is covered by the Paperwork Reduction Act and will require OMB review and approval. There will be no paper data collection for this study; all data will be electronic. No data will be sent to CDC, so CDC will not be responsible for providing access to these data. Program registration information will contain business information (business addresses and business phone numbers), demographic information, and participants will create a code which will link to the post-participation survey and phone interview. Business emails only used for the purposes of communications, will be kept in electronic files separate from the post-survey responses, post creative problem-solving intensive interview responses, and general registration demographics. Full participant names will not be collected or recorded. To minimize risks, data will be securely transferred, stored, and accessed according to existing protocols and data security and confidentiality standards at APIAHF (which are written to adhere to all standards of the CDC/NCHHSTP data security and confidentiality guidelines). To minimize the risks to participant confidentiality, data will be securely stored on APIAHF servers and access to the data will be limited to authorized project staff meeting security training requirements. For post-participation semi-structured interviews, after the potential participant has given verbal consent to either phone recordings or notes, the recordings or call notes will be immediately transcribed into a Word document and then the recordings or notes will be destroyed so only the transcriptions exist. These transcriptions will subsequently be securely transferred, stored, and accessed in accordance to existing APIAHF protocol standards. All data analyses will be conducted by the funded recipient, APIAHF. Potential participants for the semi-structured interviews will be advised to find a quiet and private location to participate in the phone call should they so choose for their privacy, and will be informed that the interviewer will be in a secure and private location during the phone call. All participants must meet the following eligibility criteria: (a) work at a community-based organization that provides HIV prevention, treatment, and/or care services, (b) have programmatic oversight over at least one HIV program, and (c) supervise at least one staff member. All interested and eligible participants will be asked to register in the National Learning Community for HIV CBO Leadership program (registration data collection). All participants who complete the registration will be granted access to the National Learning Community for HIV CBO Leadership resources. Participants who complete the registration will also be asked to complete a post-participation survey three months after registration (linked data collection, survey). Participants who complete the Creative Problem-Solving Intensive will be asked to schedule a phone interview after they have completed the intensive (linked data collection, interview). Communications to invite participants to complete the registration, post-participation survey, and phone interviews will be conducted through participants’ work emails.
