Proposed Project: Participant Feedback on Training Under the Cooperative Agreement for Mental Health Care Provider Education in HIV/AIDS Program (OMB No. 0930-0195)—Extension 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. 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 10 education sites for the Mental Health Care Provider Education in HIV/AIDS Program. The annual burden estimates for this activity are shown below: Form Responses per respondent Estimated number of respondents (× 10 sites) Hours per response Total hours Session report form 1 60 × 10 = 600 0.080 48 Participant Feedback Form (General Education) 1 500 × 10 = 5,000 0.167 835 Neuropsychiatric Participant Feedback Form 1 400 × 10 = 1,600 0.167 668 Adherence Participant Feedback Form 1 100 × 10 = 1,000 0.167 167 Ethics Participant Feedback Form 1 200 × 10 = 2,000 0.167 125 Total 12,600 1,843 Send comments to Summer King, SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer, Room 7-1044, One Choke Cherry Road, Rockville, MD 20857 *and* e-mail her a copy at *summer.king@samhsa.hhs.gov.* Written comments should be received within 60 days of this notice.
