SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: HRSA Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program Part F Regional AIDS Education and Training Center Program
Activities, OMB No. 0906-xxxx--New.
Abstract: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program's (RWHAP) AIDS Education
and Training Center (AETC) Program, authorized under title XXVI of the
Public Health Service Act, supports a network of regional centers that
conduct targeted, multi-disciplinary education and training programs
for health care providers treating people with HIV. The RWHAP Regional
AETC Program's purpose is to increase the number of health care
providers who are effectively educated and equipped to counsel,
diagnose, treat, and medically manage people with HIV. The RWHAP
Regional AETC Program recipients are required to report data on the
training activities and trainees to HRSA once a year. HRSA is
requesting the approval of new AETC data collection forms to accurately
capture data relating to Regional AETC activities, participants, and
site information for both Practice Transformation (PT) and
Interprofessional Education (IPE) sites as well as involvement in the
HIV care and treatment workforce (1-year post-participation), knowledge
gained through participating in an activity, and satisfaction with the
activity. The RWHAP Regional AETC Program recipients will gather data
on the training activities they conduct using six data collection
instruments. The Individual Participant Record is completed at least
once every reporting period by participants actively engaging in
Regional AETC activities. This form includes Regional AETC participant
demographic, workplace, and clients-served data for the participant's
[[Page 97628]]
respective provider sites. The Regional AETC recipient completes the
Training Activity Record form at the end of each Regional AETC activity
that takes place during the reporting period. This form describes the
activity in hours, modality, and topic(s). The PT Site Characteristics/
Outcomes form collects site characteristics information for PT
recipient sites only, such as clinic activities and procedures and
aggregate counts of clients. PT sites provide clinical services and
differ from IPE sites that support students, thus necessitating a
different form. The IPE Site Characteristics/Outcomes form collects
site characteristics information for IPE recipient sites only. The
Participant Post-Activity Immediate Survey collects information from
participants immediately after an activity, specifically, their
satisfaction and potential increased knowledge due to participating in
said activity. The IPE Long-Term form collects 1-year post-
participation information from participant students who engaged in an
IPE program to assess involvement in the field of HIV care and
treatment.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on July 19, 2024,
89 FR 58744-45. The 60-day FRN publication elicited 15 public comments,
including feedback from eight currently funded AETC regional
recipients. The public comments offered input to clarify the
definitions of the terminology used on the forms; requested additions
and revisions to response options and categories; provided feedback to
update demographic questions; requested more review to identify which
professions should be included or removed from the forms; asked for
clarity on the training track and the process for selecting a track;
and suggested that there be a balance of questions on both HIV
treatment and prevention.
HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau conducted a thorough review of all the
feedback provided by the public during the 60-day publication period.
HRSA will incorporate much of the public feedback into the new forms,
including through the addition of new proposed questions, removal of
current incompatible questions, correcting spelling and grammar,
providing definitions and instructions for clarity, incorporating skip
logic to streamline question response options/categories, updating the
form format, and the change of the form title from Interprofessional
Education Site Characteristics/Outcomes Form to the Interprofessional
Education Health Profession Program Characteristics/Outcomes Form.
Other suggestions may be further reviewed in future OMB packages or
non-substantive change memos.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA uses the data
collected when conducting RWHAP AETC programmatic assessments to
determine future program needs. These data allow HRSA to identify where
gaps exist in training HIV professionals as well as to measure whether
training activities are meeting the goals of the National HIV/AIDS
Strategy and the RWHAP statute.
Likely Respondents: RWHAP Regional AETC participants complete the
Individual Participant Record at least once a reporting period.
Regional AETC recipients complete a Training Activity Record for each
training activity they conduct during the reporting period. All
Regional AETC participants will take the Participant Post-Activity
Survey immediately after any attended activity. The IPE Long-Term form
will only be completed by participants who engaged in an IPE program,
1-year post-participation in the program. Finally, PT recipients will
complete the PT Site Characteristics/Outcomes form at least once per
reporting period, and IPE recipients will complete the IPE Site
Characteristics/Outcomes form at least once per reporting period.
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the
information requested. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and use technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for
this ICR are summarized in the table below.
