Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information 
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these 
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-7978.
    Proposed Project: Participant Feedback on Training Under the 
Cooperative Agreement for Mental Health Care Provider Education in HIV/
AIDS Program (OMB No. 0930-0195; Revision)--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
