Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Title: Federal Strategic Action Plan on Services for Victims of 
Human Trafficking: Enhancing the Health Care System's Response to Human 
Trafficking
    OMB No.: New Collection
    Description:
    In 2013, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services co-
chaired an inter-agency process with the Departments of Justice and 
Homeland Security to create the first Federal Strategic Action Plan on 
Services for Victims of Human Trafficking in the United States. The 
Plan addresses the needs for the implementation of coordinated, 
effective, culturally appropriate and trauma informed care for victims 
of human trafficking. The purpose of this initiative is to develop a 
pilot training project that will strengthen the health systems' 
response to human trafficking in four key ways
    1. Increase knowledge about human trafficking among health care 
providers;
    2. Build the capacity of health care providers to deliver 
culturally appropriate and trauma-informed care to victims of human 
trafficking;
    3. Increase the identification of victims of human trafficking; and
    4. Increase services to survivors of human trafficking.
    The evaluation will measure immediate outcomes, e.g., from pre-
intervention to post-intervention, as well as intermediate outcomes at 
a 3 month post intervention.
    Respondents:
    The target audience for training and evaluation will be 200 health 
care providers from hospitals, clinics, and private health practices. 
The health care providers will be from federal, state/territorial, and 
local health departments, the Veterans' Administration, professional 
associations, and tribal institutions.
