Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information
collection requests under
[[Page 22498]]
OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35). To request a copy of these documents, call the SAMHSA
Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-0361.
Project: Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Program Monitoring
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) will
monitor program performance of its Training and Technical Assistance
(TTA) programs. The TTAs disseminate current behavioral health services
research from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Institute
on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, National Institute of Mental Health,
National Institute of Justice, and other sources, as well as other
SAMHSA programs. To accomplish this, the TTA programs develop and
update state-of-the-art, research-based curricula and professional
development training.
The TTA programs hold a variety of events: technical assistance,
meetings, trainings, and presentations. A TTA technical assistance
event is defined as a jointly planned consultation generally involving
a series of contacts between the TTA and an outside organization/
institution during which the TTA provides expertise and gives direction
toward resolving a problem or improving conditions. Technical
assistance events can be categorized into universal, targeted, and
intensive. Other TTA events such as meetings, training, presentations,
strategic planning and learning collaboratives are utilized to support
technical assistance. These events are TTA-sponsored or co-sponsored
events in which a group of people representing one or more agencies
other than the TTAs work cooperatively on a project, problem, and/or
policy. SAMHSA intends to use three (3) instruments for program
monitoring of TTA events as well as ongoing quality improvement, which
are described below.
1. TTA Event Description Form (EDF): The EDF collects event
information. The form includes 10 questions of TTA faculty/staff
relating to the event focus and format. It allows the TTAs and SAMHSA
to track the number of events held (See Attachment 1).
2. TTA Post Event Form: The Post Event Form will be administered
immediately following the event. The form includes 16 questions of each
individual that participated in the event (Attachment 2). The
instrument asks the participants to report on general demographic
information, principal employment setting, employment zip code,
satisfaction with the event, if they expect the event to benefit them
professionally, if they expect the event to change their practice and
if they would recommend the event to a colleague.
3. TTA Follow-up Form: The Follow-up Form will be administered 60-
days after all events that last a minimum of three (3) hours. The form
will be administered to a minimum of 25% of participants who consent to
participate in the follow-up process. The includes 13 questions
(Attachment 3). The instrument asks the participants to report if the
information provided in at the event benefited their professional
development, will change their practice, if they will use the
information in their future work, if information will be shared with
colleagues, how the event supported their work responsibilities, how
the TTA can improve the events, what other topics participants would
like to see TTAs address and in what format.
The information collected on the three TTA forms will assist SAMHSA
in documenting the numbers and types of participants in TTA events,
describing the extent to which participants report improvement in their
professional development, and which method is most effective in
disseminating knowledge to various audiences. This type of information
is crucial to support SAMHSA in complying with GPRA reporting
requirements and will inform future development of knowledge
dissemination activities.
