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. These education programs 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 participant's knowledge, skills and abilities.
    Information about the organization and delivery of training will be 
collected from trainers and staff, 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:
