Proposed Project
AHRQ Managing Unhealthy Alcohol
Use in Primary Care Initiative
The Affordable Care Act established
the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research
Trust Fund (PCORTF) and authorized
AHRQ to broadly disseminate the
research findings published by the
Patient-Centered Outcomes Research
Institute (PCORI) and other governmentfunded research relevant to comparative
clinical effectiveness research. AHRQ’s
PCORTF-funded initiative identifies
research findings that could
significantly improve patient outcomes
through broader implementation in
clinical practice. Under this initiative,
in 2019 AHRQ launched a new
initiative, Managing Unhealthy Alcohol
Use in Primary Care, in order to
promote the uptake of evidence-based
practices for unhealthy alcohol use
(UAU). As part of this initiative, AHRQ
selected six grantees and funded a
contractor to support and evaluate the
grantees. The grantees will collectively
work with more than 700 primary care
practices over three years to implement
and evaluate strategies to increase the
use of evidence-based interventions
such as screening for unhealthy alcohol
use, brief interventions for adult
patients who drink too much, and
medication-assisted therapy (MAT) for
patients with an alcohol use disorder.
The contractor will develop a resource
center, convene a technical expert
panel, conduct an ongoing
environmental scan, support a learning
community of grantees, and complete a
multisite, mixed methods evaluation.
Unhealthy alcohol use, defined as
behaviors ranging from risky drinking to
alcohol use disorders (AUD), is
estimated to be the third leading cause
of preventable death in the United
States. Between 2006 and 2010, nearly
one in ten deaths were alcohol-related.
In addition to early mortality, UAU is
associated with a host of adverse
outcomes, including unintentional
injuries and the development or
exacerbation of a range of physical and
behavioral health conditions. The
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention estimates suggest that
excessive alcohol consumption costs the
United States $249 billion annually.
Under the UAU initiative, six AHRQ
grantees will work to improve the
management of UAU in primary care by
disseminating and implementing
evidence-based practices for screening
and brief intervention, referral to
treatment (SBI/RT), and MAT in
primary care practices. The multi-site,
mixed-methods evaluation will include
primary data collection by the evaluator,

NORC at the University of Chicago. The
evaluation will also include secondary
data collected by the six grantee teams
working with 750 primary care
practices. Collectively the data will
allow the evaluator to assess the
implementation and impact of the six
grants.
The project goals, as laid out in the
AHRQ request for applications include:
• Success of recruitment and
retention strategies across all six
grantees to engage primary care
practices for implementation of SBI/RT
and MAT, across the initiative;
• Effectiveness of the grantees’
collective dissemination and
implementation strategies, and the
factors associated with the success and/
or failure of the strategies as it relates to
populations, settings and the influence
of contextual factors;
• Success at the practice level in
increasing the number of patients
screened, identified, and treated; and
• Overall impact on changes in
processes or outcomes that can be
attributed to the initiative.
This study is being conducted
pursuant to AHRQ’s statutory authority
to broadly disseminate research findings
published by the Patient-Centered
Outcomes Research Institute and other
government-funded research relevant to
comparative clinical effectiveness
research to physicians, health care
providers, and patients. 42 U.S.C 299b–
37.

Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of the multi-site
evaluation (MSE), AHRQ is requesting
OMB approval for three years for new
data collection by the evaluator. The
evaluator’s primary data collection is
requested to achieve the goals of the
MSE and includes the following data
collection activities:
Semi-Structured Qualitative
Interviews will take place in-person
and/or by telephone with key staff from
each grantee team (i.e., principal
investigator, co-investigator, evaluation
lead, practice facilitation/
implementation lead, and project
manager) and with clinicians and staff
at one primary care practice working
with each grantee. Interviews will be
conducted annually beginning at the
end of Year 1, for a total of three time
points per grantee. During Years 1 and
3 the interviews will be conducted by
phone, while Year 2 interviews will be
collected in-person. The interviews for
both grantee teams and primary care
practice staff will cover domains such as
understanding the practice
implementation and changes overtime,
methods of supporting practices,
barriers and facilitators to
implementation, strategies to overcome
barriers, and the number and type of
staff implementing SBI/RT and MAT.
Secondary data collected by grantees
and analyzed by the evaluator will
include:

Aggregated process measure data that
will be used to assess whether the
number of patients receiving SBI/RT
and/or MAT increased at the practice
level. Grantees will survey all
participating primary care practices at
the beginning of the initiative to collect
data on basic practice characteristics
(e.g., size, ownership, staff, and patient
population) that can be used to evaluate
relationships between practice
characteristics and the number of
patients receiving SBI/RT and/or MAT.
Grantees will also collect quantitative
information about the number, duration,
and function of contact between
practice facilitators and primary care
practices to evaluate the relationship
between duration, frequency, and type
of practice facilitator-practice
engagement, and the number of patients
screened, receiving brief intervention,
and/or treated for UAU. The practice
facilitators will collect data to track
changes in practices over time and
facilitate an overall assessment of what
activities the practice is conducting to
identify and manage UAU.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for the
respondents’ time to complete the semistructured Key Informant Interviews.
For the three-year clearance period, the
estimated annualized burden hours for
the interviews are 60.

Proposed Project
Evaluation of Enhancing HIV
Prevention Communication and
Mobilization Efforts through Strategic
Partnerships (OMB Control No. 0920–
1161)—Reinstatement without Change—
National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral
Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
To address the HIV epidemic in the
U.S., the Department of Health and
Human Services launched Ending the
HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America,
which is a cross-agency initiative
aiming to reduce new HIV infections in
the U.S. by 90% by 2030. CDC’s Let’s
Stop HIV Together campaign (formerly
known as Act Against AIDS) is part of
the national Ending the HIV Epidemic
initiative, and includes resources aimed
at reducing HIV stigma and promoting
testing, prevention, and treatment across
the HIV care continuum.
Within this context, CDC’s Division of
HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) has and
will continue implementing various
partnership activities to increase HIV
awareness among the general public,
reduce new HIV infections among
disproportionately impacted
populations, and improve health
outcomes for people living with HIV/
AIDS in the US and its territories.
DHAP partners will be funded under
to (1) support the dissemination of
Together campaign materials,
messaging, and other CDC resources that
support HIV prevention and (2)
implement national engagement efforts
focusing on HIV prevention and
awareness. Partners represent civic/
social, media, and LGBT-focused
organizations. In addition, DHAP will
continue to engage and support the
private sector in promoting HIV
education, awareness, and policies in
the workplace. This may take the form
of encouraging businesses to implement
HIV/AIDS policies and education
programs in the workplace with the
overarching goal of increasing public
