SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The proposed information collection effort will gather
data from end users of a toolkit of resources sponsored by the
Children's Bureau in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention under an interagency agreement. The toolkit is intended
to support child welfare agency staff in the identification and support
of children living with prenatal exposure to alcohol and other
substances. The data collected will be used in a formative evaluation
of the toolkit, which will be guided by three research questions: (1)
To what degree do agency staff find toolkit resource to be relevant and
applicable to their work?; (2) To what degree do toolkit resources
change agency staff attitudes and increase staff knowledge?; (3) What
implementation approaches and organizational supports facilitate
toolkit use by child welfare agencies? Proposed data sources for this
effort include five surveys: (1) a survey to measure users' reactions
to the toolkit; (2) a survey of users' attitudes toward Prenatal
Alcohol Exposure (PAE)-related issues; (3) a survey of users' knowledge
about PAE-related issues; and (4 and 5) two versions of a survey of
transfer potential and perceived competence, which measures users'
sense of competence in PAE-related knowledge and skills and the extent
to which users believe they will transfer knowledge/skills to their
work. One version of this instrument contains the full survey and will
be administered after users have been exposed to the full toolkit and
its resources. The second version contains a smaller selection of key
items from the survey, tailored to collect information from users after
their exposure to each of five key modules of the toolkit. All data
will be collected over the course of 6-9 months in 2023.
Respondents: Child welfare professionals, including state and/or
county-level directors of child welfare agencies; supervisors; program
staff (e.g., investigation/intake, case management, foster care/
adoption/permanency, etc.); staff working in specialist roles that
align with toolkit resources (e.g., data/quality improvement
specialists); local or state agency managers involved in determining
agency strategic plans and practice guidance (e.g., substance-exposed
newborn program manager); training system lead staff.
