Proposed Project
2005 Business Responds to AIDS (BRTA) Survey-New-National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Business Responds to AIDS (BRTA) program is a partnership among CDC, business, labor, and the public health sector that began in 1992. The purpose of the program is to encourage businesses to implement HIV/AIDS policies and education programs in the workplace. CDC is requesting a 3-year approval from OMB to administer a survey to business owners or human resource directors to assess business practices and policies relating to HIV/AIDS in the workplace. This proposed data collection will incorporate some questions, but will be a shorter version, from a previously approved data collection, "Business Responds to AIDS Benchmark Study," OMB No. 0920-0359, which expired on January 31, 1996.
The target population for the 2005 survey will be private-sector worksites employing 15 or more individuals and operating in the United States at the time of the survey. Selected worksites will be able to respond to the survey by telephone or electronically through the internet. An introductory letter describing the BRTA program and the survey will be mailed to each selected worksite two weeks prior to implementation of the actual survey. The initial point of contact at the worksites is expected to be the business owner for smaller sites and the human resources director for larger sites. This individual will be asked to either complete the interview or provide an appropriate referral within the company. CDC anticipates that information from the survey will allow the agency to revise and strengthen the objectives and strategies of the BRTA program in an effort to support business practices and policies related to HIV/AIDS.
There is no cost to respondents participate in the survey other than their time.
