Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of 
proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed projects 
or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the 
SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collections of

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.
    Minor changes to the feedback form instruments are requested based 
on based on a review and assessment of participant feedback form data 
collected over the past two years of the contract. CMHS identified some 
outdated and rarely-used response options for all participant response 
forms and the session reporting form and removed these items from the 
individual data collection tools. Table 1 shows the response options 
removed from the previous iterations of the MHCPE participant feedback 
forms and session reporting form.

    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 up to 10 education 
sites for the Mental Health Care Provider Education in HIV/AIDS 
Program. The annual burden estimates for this activity are shown below 
in Table 2.
