Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 concerning opportunity for public comment on proposed
collections of information, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of
proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed projects
or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the
SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collections of
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other

Proposed Project: Participant Feedback on Training Under the
Cooperative Agreement for Mental Health Care Provider Education in HIV/
AIDS Program (OMB No. 0930-0195)--Revision
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's
(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) intends to continue
to conduct a multi-site assessment for the Mental Health Care Provider
Education in HIV/AIDS Program. The education programs funded under this
cooperative agreement are designed to disseminate knowledge of the
psychological and neuropsychiatric sequelae of HIV/AIDS to both
traditional (e.g., psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, primary care
physicians, medical students, and social workers) and non-traditional
(e.g., clergy, and alternative health care workers) first-line
providers of mental health services, in particular to providers in
minority communities.
The multi-site assessment is designed to assess the effectiveness
of particular training curricula, document the integrity of training
delivery formats, and assess the effectiveness of the various training
delivery formats. Analyses will assist CMHS in documenting the numbers
and types of traditional and non-traditional mental health providers
accessing training; the content, nature and types of training
participants receive; and the extent to which trainees experience
knowledge, skill and attitude gains/changes as a result of training
attendance. The multi-site data collection design uses a two-tiered
data collection and analytic strategy to collect information on (1) the
organization and delivery of training, and (2) the impact of training
on participants' knowledge, skills and abilities.
Minor changes to the feedback form instruments are requested based
on based on a review and assessment of participant feedback form data
collected over the past two years of the contract. CMHS identified some
outdated and rarely-used response options for all participant response
forms and the session reporting form and removed these items from the
individual data collection tools. Table 1 shows the response options
removed from the previous iterations of the MHCPE participant feedback
forms and session reporting form.

Information about the organization and delivery of training will be
collected from trainers and staff who are funded by these cooperative
agreements/contracts, hence there is no respondent burden. All training
participants will be asked to complete a brief feedback form at the end
of the training session. CMHS anticipates funding up to 10 education
sites for the Mental Health Care Provider Education in HIV/AIDS
Program. The annual burden estimates for this activity are shown below
in Table 2.
