The vote encompassed approval of the
paragraph below for inclusion in the
statement to be released shortly after the
meeting:
Although the moderation in the growth of
aggregate demand should help to limit
inflation pressures over time, the Committee
judges that some inflation risks remain. The
extent and timing of any additional firming
that may be needed to address these risks
will depend on the evolution of the outlook
for both inflation and economic growth, as
implied by incoming information. In any
event, the Committee will respond to changes
in economic prospects as needed to support
the attainment of its objectives.

Proposed Project
Micro-Finance Project for HIV

Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting a 3-year approval
from the Office of Management and

Budget to conduct focus groups and
administer a one-on-one qualitative
interview to women who are at risk for
HIV infection and community leaders in
four communities in the southeastern
United States.
The purpose of this project is to
conduct formative research to determine
the most realistic and efficacious
approach for developing a micro-finance
project to reduce HIV/STD-related risk
behavior among unemployed or
underemployed high-risk African-
American women in the southeastern
United States, who are among those
most at risk for HIV infection in the
country. The project addresses goals of
the ‘‘CDC HIV Prevention Strategic
Plan,’’ specifically the goal of decreasing
the number of persons at high risk of
acquiring or transmitting HIV infection.
Information from this project will
inform the development of economic
empowerment interventions to reduce
risk for HIV infection.
A focus group will be conducted with
eight women (who are screened for
eligibility) in each of the four
communities (a total of 32 women) in
the southeast United States with high
prevalence of HIV and other sexually
transmitted diseases. A subset of these
women will participate in individual
interviews. Another focus group will
include community leaders in each of
the four communities (a total of 32
individuals). The focus groups will
capture demographic information,
attitudes, and knowledge regarding
income-generating activities that are
feasible (can be done with small
capitalization and by these women with
some training and other preparation),
attractive (women will do this work),
and useful (likely to produce income to
address a reasonable proportion of
economic need; the community will use
the service or purchase the product of
the activity).
The subset of focus group participants
who also participate in individual
interviews (five women in each of the
four communities, with a maximum of
20 individual interviews) will respond
to more personal questions. The semi-
structured individual interviews will
explore behavioral, social, and
economic conditions that might
contribute to risk for HIV infection.
The focus groups and interviews will
take about two hours each to complete.
A screening interview for women
participants will take about 10 minutes
to complete. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
