This information
collection is approved based on an agreement with NIH to carefully
review this package, including the survey protocol, and make
modifications to eliminate all mention of foodhandlers or other
wording that could be misconstrued about HIV transmission in the
food service industry. See attached memorandum dated August 7, 1990
from NIH to OMB explaining the characteristics of the high risk
group to be sampled in the survey. The term foodhandlers is a
misnomer. The high risk group being surveyed is actually
prostitutes not foodhandlers and this distinction must be made to
ensure that the reasons for conducting the study and its results
are not misinterpreted. NIH shall submit to OMB a copy of the
revised package to ensure compliance with this agreement.
