Proposed Project
Formative Research to Inform an HIV Testing Social Marketing
Campaign for African American Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM), (OMB No. 0920-0762)--Revision--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis,
Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis Elimination Programs
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of the proposed study is to conduct formative research to inform the development of the HIV Testing Social Marketing Campaign for African American MSM, a CDC-sponsored social marketing campaign aimed at increasing HIV testing rates among young, African American
MSM. The study entails conducting interviews with a sample of African
American MSM, ages 18 to 44 to: (1) Explore participants' knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about HIV and HIV testing to inform the development of campaign messages; (2) identify the most motivating approach, supporting data, and key messages for materials development;
(3) test creative concepts, potential campaign themes, logos and names; and (4) test creative materials developed based on the findings from the previous phases of the research. Findings from this study will be used by CDC and its partners to inform current and future program activities.
A total of 288 participants will be screened for eligibility in order to find 144 people who will participate in an interview. All interview participants (n=144) will complete a short ``Paper and
Pencil'' questionnaire. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time.
