Abstract: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention requests a non-substantive change request to the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System (NHBS) (0920-0770, expiration date January 31, 2023) to their method of information collection. Interview data collection instruments, project activities, and annual burden will remain the same as in the previously approved information collection request. The COVID-19 pandemic has impeded standard, in-person recruitment and interviewing during the implementation of the 2020 data collection and likely in future years as well. NHBS survey methods consist of recruitment, the interview, and HIV testing. Each component is important and has different challenges for implementation during COVID-19 pandemic. To address these challenges, we revised NHBS methods to include remote variants of our in-person methods. The underlying methods remain unchanged. For example, NHBS is still an interviewer administered one-on-one interview, however the interview may now occur via videoconference (with phone backup) or phone in addition to in-person. Similarly, NHBS will continue to utilize respondent-driven (RDS) and venue-based (VBS) recruitment methods, however these now include online venues and processes.
