    Information Collection Request Title: Evaluation of the National 
Training on Trauma-Informed Care (TIC).
    Abstract: The HHS OWH is requesting OMB approval to conduct a new, 
one time outcome evaluation of the National Training Initiative on 
Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) for Community-Based Providers from Diverse 
Service Systems training curriculum. Policymakers and providers in many 
service sectors recognize the central role of trauma in causing or 
complicating physical and behavioral health conditions and the critical 
need for trauma-informed care (TIC) systems. The proposed evaluation 
will capture both knowledge gained and implementation impact achieved 
as a result of the TIC training and TA. Analyses and findings will be 
used to further refine the TIC curriculum and training approach, and 
can help inform OWH and HHS in future policymaking efforts. Information 
collected will also help researchers and practitioners better 
understand the impact of adopting a trauma-informed approach on and the 
quality of care provided by community-based providers.
    Likely Respondents:

Site Visits

    Site visits are designed to capture both the knowledge gained by 
training participants and the implementation impact achieved in their 
organizations as a result of the OWH TIC training and technical 
assistance. Interviewees will be drawn from two general categories, 
Leadership (includes staff in roles such as Director of Agency, CEO, 
and/or Executive Director) and Line/Other Frontline Staff (to include 
clinicians, program director/manager, direct program/service staff, and 
other frontline staff). While these agency/organization representatives 
will ideally have participated in the training, staff turnover or 
unavailability may result in the inclusion of leadership or line staff 
who did not participate in the training.

Online Survey

    The goal of the online survey is to assess the impact of the 
training on participants' skills acquired in, knowledge about, and 
values and beliefs surrounding trauma-informed care. All participants 
(leadership and line/other frontline staff) who have been trained will 
constitute the online survey target population.
