Proposed Project: HRSA AIDS Education and Training Centers Evaluation Activities (OMB No. 0915-0281)—Revision The AIDS Education and Training Centers
(AETC)Program, under the Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program legislation supports a network of regional and national centers that conduct targeted, multi-disciplinary education and training programs for health care providers treating persons with HIV/AIDS. The AETCs' purpose is to increase the number of health care providers who are effectively educated and motivated to counsel, diagnose, treat, and medically manage individuals with HIV infection, and to help prevent high risk behaviors that lead to HIV transmission. As part of an ongoing effort to evaluate AETC activities, information is needed on AETC training sessions, consultations, and technical assistance activities. Each regional center collects forms on AETC training events, and the centers are required to report aggregate data on their activities to HRSA and the HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB). This data collection provides information on the number of training events, including clinical trainings and consultations, as well as technical assistance activities conducted by each regional center, the number of health care providers receiving professional training or consultation, and the time and effort expended on different levels of training and consultation activities. In addition, information is obtained on the populations served by the AETC trainees, and the increase in capacity achieved through training events. Collection of this information allows HRSA and HAB to provide information on training activities and types of education and training provided to Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Grantees, resource allocation, and capacity expansion. Trainees are asked to complete the Participant Information Form
(PIF)for each activity they complete, and trainers, are asked to complete the Event Record (ER). The estimated annual response burden to trainers as well as attendees of training programs is as follows: Form Number of respondents Responses per respondent Total responses Hours per response Total burden hours PIF 116,624 1 116,624 0.167 19,476.2 ER 18,070 1 18,070 0.2 3,614 Total 134,694 134,694 23,090.2 The estimated annual burden to AETCs is as follows: Number of respondents Responses per respondent Total responses Hours per response Total burden hours Aggregate Data Set 12 2 24 32 768 The total burden hours are 23,858.2.
