Abstract:
The National HIV Behavioral Surveillance system (NHBS) is a supplemental surveillance project designed to describe the HIV prevalence and behaviors related to HIV acquisition and prevention among the three populations at highest risk for HIV in the United States: men who have sex with men, persons who inject drugs, and heterosexually active persons at increased risk for HIV infection. For this Revision, Data collection instruments were revised and the number of health departments participating in the NHBS System will decrease, in addition to other minor changes. The NHBS interview data collection instruments were revised to reduce respondent burden and enhance data quality, resulting in a decrease in annualized burden hours from 6,600 to 3,398 and an increase in participating health departments to 21. Key changes included removing or modifying questions related to HIV prevention and substance use and eliminating repetitive or low-priority items. These adjustments improve the clarity, efficiency, and relevance of the assessments without altering the overall scope or time required for participants.
