Standard Needs Assessment Protocol for the National AIDS Education
and Training Centers (AETC) Program--New--The National AIDS Education
and Training Centers (AETC) Program is a network of fifteen regional
centers with more than 75 local performance sites that conduct targeted
multidisciplinary HIV education and training programs for health care
providers. AETCs are required, as a condition of award, to conduct
periodic assessments of the learning needs of health care providers in
their catchment areas, before designing the training programs they
intend to offer. The AETC program has developed a national learning
needs assessment tool and protocol, which has been field tested and is
now available for use by all fifteen AETCs. The survey instruments will
be sent to a random sample of approximately 35,418 health care
[[Page 56965]]
providers nationally each year. Results from the surveys will be used
to identify, for seven health care disciplines in each State and AETC
catchment area, topical areas in HIV/AIDS treatment in which training
is most needed, and how best to provide the training. This will allow
the AETCs to develop training programs responsive to the identified
needs. Each discipline will be surveyed every three years. The
estimated burden is as follows:
