TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: 2024 National Ryan White Conference on HIV Care & Treatment Evaluation

PURPOSE: The Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) will obtain feedback from people who attend a hybrid four-day conference, sponsored and funded by HRSA HAB. For more than 30 years, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program has played a critical role in the United States’ public health response to HIV. Survey responses to the overall evaluation of the conference will be used to assess the relevance of the conference theme and tailored session tracks for attendees based on the HRSA HAB Ryan White HIV/AIDS Programs Part they represent, their professional roles, and their reasons for attending the conference. Attendee responses will be used to plan future conferences; part-specific technical assistance needs; identify attendees’ level of satisfaction with the educational activities and presentations; to assess the impact the sessions will have on patient care programs when attendees return to their place of work; and to improve future HRSA HAB educational activities.

DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS: Respondents will include approximately 5,000 individuals attending the four-day Hybrid National Ryan White Conference (NRWC) on HIV Care & Treatment, August 20-26, 2024. Attendees will include Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funded recipients, providers, consumers, and stakeholders.
