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