SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: The NHTTAC delivers training and technical assistance 
(T/TA) to inform and deliver a public health response to trafficking. 
In applying a public health approach, NHTTAC holistically builds the 
capacity of professionals, organizations, and communities to identify 
and respond to the complex needs of all individuals who have 
experienced trafficking or who have increased risk factors for 
trafficking and address the root causes that put individuals, families, 
and communities at risk of trafficking. These efforts ultimately help 
improve the availability and delivery of coordinated and trauma-
informed services before, during, and after an individual's trafficking 
exploitation, regardless of their age, gender identity, sexual 
orientation, race/ethnicity, nationality, or type of exploitation 
experienced.
    NHTTAC hosts a variety of services, programs, and facilitated 
sessions to improve service provision to people who have experienced 
trafficking or who have increased risk factors for trafficking, 
including The Human Trafficking Leadership Academy; SOAR (Stop, 
Observe, Ask, and Respond) to Health and Wellness; OTIP-funded 
recipients; both short-term and specialized T/TA requests; the NHTTAC 
Customer Support; and information through NHTTAC's website, resources, 
and materials about trafficking. This information collection is 
intended to collect feedback from participants to assess a diverse 
range of T/TA provided by NHTTAC.
    Revisions have been made in order to:

 Respond to Postgraduate Institute for Medicine accreditation 
requirements through SOAR T/TA
 Reduce burden where applicable
 Provide flexibility for NHTTAC to assess new knowledge gains, 
application of skills/competencies, and outcomes of participants who 
received NHTTAC T/TA
 Understand NHTTAC's progress on improving diversity, equity, 
and inclusion

    Respondents: NHTTAC T/TA participants include OTIP grant 
recipients, individuals with lived experience, professionals who 
interact with and provide services to individuals who have experienced 
trafficking, including healthcare, behavioral health, public health, 
and human service practitioners, organizations, and communities.
