Proposed Project
Participant Feedback on Training Under the Cooperative Agreement
for Mental Health Care Provider Education in HIV/AIDS Program II (OMB

Services Administration's (SAMHSA) Center for
[[Page 17726]]
Mental Health Services (CMHS) intends to continue to conduct a multi-
site assessment of its Cooperative Agreement for Mental Health Care
Provider Education in HIV/AIDS Program II until the end of the sites'
expenditure of Program II funds (anticipated end date of September
2002). 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.
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.
Information about the organization and delivery of training will be
collected from trainers and staff who are funded by these cooperative
agreements hence there is no respondent burden. All training
participants attending sessions lasting less than 6 hours will be asked
to complete a brief feedback form at the end of the training session.
Trainees attending sessions lasting 6 hours or longer will be asked to
complete brief pre- and post-session feedback questionnaires. A sample
of trainees attending sessions lasting 6 hours or longer will also be
asked to complete a brief follow-up telephone interview three months
after the training session. CMHS has funded seven education sites under
the Cooperative Agreement for Mental Health Care Provider Education in
HIV/AIDS Program II. The annual burden estimates for this activity are
shown below:
