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 shown below:
