    Information Collection Request Title: Education and Training of 
Healthcare Providers as a Coordinated Public Health Response to 
Violence Against Women
    Abstract: The Office on Women's Health (OWH) recently received an 
approval by OMB 0990-0422 which expires August 31, 2015; however OWH is 
now requesting a one year extension to further conduct the pilot and 
evaluation of an eLearning course developed as part of the ``Education 
and Training of Healthcare Providers as a Coordinated Public Health 
Response to Violence Against Women Project''. The purpose of this data 
collection is to gather data from healthcare providers who have 
volunteered to participate in the pilot and evaluation of an e-learning 
course designed to educate and train healthcare providers on how to 
respond to intimate partner violence (IPV) against women. Information 
obtained from this data collection will be used to identify areas of 
improvement and measure the effectiveness of the e-learning course in 
educating healthcare providers about IPV, addressing attitudinal 
barriers to IPV screening, and increasing IPV screening in clinical 
practice. This data will also help identify any problems in the 
navigation and functioning of the e-learning course. The results of 
this evaluation will assist OWH in making revisions to the course and 
subsequently coordinating a national launch, making the e-learning 
course available to healthcare providers across the U.S. All data 
collection forms and activities will be used within a year time frame.
    Likely Respondents: The respondents for this pilot and evaluation 
are healthcare providers (physicians, nurses, and social workers) who 
are members of professional associations and who provide services in 
Nevada, Oklahoma, and South Carolina.
