The HIV Outpatient Study (HOPS) combines medical records data abstraction on HIV-infected adults at 8 HIV clinics in the U.S. with a brief behavioral survey for patients who agree to complete the survey annually. The 7-minute survey administered by telephone or through a web interface includes questions on HIV-positive patients' risk behaviors (including sexual, drug use, tobacco use) which can then be linked to diagnoses, treatments and laboratory findings obtained through the abstraction of medical records, in order to inform secondary HIV prevention. The HOPS allows for examining the trends in the epidemiology of chronic HIV disease in this aging U.S. cohort; the identification of interactions between HIV disease, antiretroviral therapy, and other comorbidities; the characterization of the optimal management strategies for HIV-infected patients to reduce morbidity and mortality (e.g., data on drug toxicities, effectiveness of clinical interventions); and monitoring of sexual and drug use behaviors of HIV-infected patients to inform risk-reduction programs.

This is a request for extension of the approved collection. In the previous approval period, the burden for the annual behavioral assessment was based on the estimated participation of 2,500 respondents. This was an empirical estimate of likely participation. In the current request, the burden for the annual behavioral assessment is estimated on the basis of 2,700 respondents (i.e., the total size of the HOPS cohort). CDC revised this estimate to ensure that the HOPS clearance provides capacity for the maximum number of respondents. This change adds 23 burden hours to the previous estimate. There are no changes to information collection content or methods.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
