Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including using
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submissions of responses;
and
5. Assess information collection costs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) requests three-year
OMB approval for the extension of a
Generic information collection package
(OMB Control No. #0920–1235, Exp. 05/
31/2022) that supports collection of
quantitative and qualitative information
from adolescents (ages 11–19) and their
parents/caregivers for the purpose of
needs assessment and program
refinement for programs and services to
prevent HIV, other sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs), and pregnancy among
middle and high school aged
adolescents.
NCHHSTP conducts behavioral and
health service assessments and research
projects as part of its response to the
domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic, STD
prevention, TB elimination and viral
hepatitis control with national, state,
and local partners. Adolescents are a
population with specific developmental,
health and social, and resource needs,
and their health risk factors and access
to health care are addressed as a
primary mission by the Division of
Adolescent and School Health (DASH),
and adolescents are a population of
interest for several other NCHHSTP
divisions. The assessment and research
conducted by NCHHSTP is one pillar
upon which recommendations and
guidelines are revised and updated.
Recommendations and guidelines for
adolescent sexual risk reduction require
that foundation of scientific evidence.
Assessment of programmatic practices
for adolescents helps to assure effective
and evidence-based sexual risk
reduction practices and efficient use of
resources. Such assessments also help to
improve programs through better
identification of strategies relevant to
adolescents as a population as well as
specific sub-groups of adolescents at
highest risk for HIV and other STDs so
that programs can be better tailored for
them.
The information collection requests
under this generic package are intended
to allow for data collection with two
types of respondents:

Proposed Project

• Adolescents (11–19 years old) of
middle and high school age; and

Assessments to Inform Program
Refinement for HIV, other STD, and
Pregnancy Prevention among Middle
and High-School Aged Youth (OMB
Control No. 0920–1235, Exp. 05/31/
2022)—Extension—National Center for
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

• Parents and/or caregivers of
adolescents of middle and high school
age. For the purposes of this generic
package, parents/caregivers include the
adult primary caregiver(s) for a child’s
basic needs (e.g., food, shelter, and
safety). This includes biological parents;
other biological relatives such as
grandparents, aunts, uncles, or siblings;

and non-biological parents such as
adoptive, foster, or stepparents.
The types of information collection
activities included in this generic
package are:
(1) Quantitative data collection
through electronic, telephone, or paper
questionnaires to gather information
about programmatic and service
activities related to the prevention of
HIV and other STDs among adolescents
of middle- and high-school age.
(2) Qualitative data collection through
electronic, telephone, or paper means to
gather information about programmatic
and service activities related to the
prevention of HIV and other STDs
among adolescents of middle- and highschool age. Qualitative data collection
may involve focus groups and in-depth
interviewing through group interviews,
and cognitive interviewing.
For adolescents, data collection
instruments will include questions on
demographic characteristics;
experiences with programs and services
to reduce the risk of HIV and other STD
transmission; and knowledge, attitudes,

collection instruments will be pilottested, and will be culturally,
developmentally, and age appropriate
for the adolescent populations included.
Similarly, parent data collection
instruments will be pilot-tested, and the
data collection instruments will reflect
the culture, developmental stage, and
age of the parents’ adolescent children.
All data collection procedures will
receive review and approval by an
Institutional Review Board for the
Protection of Human Subjects and
follow appropriate consent and assent
procedures as outlined in the IRBapproved protocols. These will be
described in the individual information
collection requests put forward under
this Generic package.
The table below provides the
estimated annualized response burden
for up to 15 individual data collections
per year under this generic clearance at
57,584 hours. Participation of
respondents is voluntary. There is no
cost to participants other than their
time.

behaviors, and skills related to sexual
risk and protective factors on the
individual, interpersonal, and
community levels.
For parents and caregivers, data
collection instruments will include
questions on demographic
characteristics as well as parents’/
caregivers’ (1) perceptions about
programs and services provided to
adolescents; (2) knowledge, attitudes,
and perceptions about their adolescents’
health risk and protective behaviors;
and (3) parenting knowledge, attitudes,
behaviors, and skills.
Any data collection request put
forward under this generic clearance
will identify the programs and/or
services to be informed or refined, and
will include a cross-walk of data
elements to the aspects of the program
the project team seeks to inform or
refine. Because this request includes a
wide range of possible data collection
instruments, specific requests will
include items of information to be
collected and copies of data collection
instruments. It is expected that all data
