SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Marine Corps Applied 
Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) Surveys; OMB Control 
Number 0712-ASIS.
    Needs and Uses: Data collection is necessary to determine the 
effectiveness of the LivingWorks' Applied Suicide Intervention Skills 
Training (ASIST) used by the Marine Corps as part of its suicide 
prevention program and to assess whether it is an efficient use of the 
Marine Corps' resources. ASIST is widely used throughout the Marine 
Corps. Many chaplains have been trained to teach the class, and 
participants can be at the unit, command, or even family service center 
level. However, it currently is offered on an ad hoc basis--it is not a 
program of record, commands are not required to use it, and it is not 
conducted at regular or standardized training intervals within a 
standardized Training Effectiveness Evaluation Plan.
    The ASIST basic course is a two-day in person workshop that teaches 
participants to recognize someone at-risk of suicide and then provide a 
skilled intervention and develop a safe plan with the at-risk 
individual. The efficiency and effectiveness of the ASIST program for 
the Marine Corps has never been evaluated. To assess the efficiency and 
effectiveness of the ASIST program for the Marine Corps, the Marine 
Corps has contracted CNA to gather data from current and past course 
participants. Questions in the ASIST Basic survey ask participants 
about expected outcomes of the ASIST course: knowledge, attitudes, and 
confidence in suicide intervention. ASIST participants that choose to 
become ASIST trainers attend ASIST Training for Trainers (T4T). T4T is 
a five-day in-person training that prepares participants to become 
ASIST trainers by teaching them skills to conduct the ASIST 2-day 
workshop. Questions in the ASIST T4Tsurvey ask questions about the 
sufficiency of the T4T course and the ability of trainers to adapt the 
course to the Marine Corps population. At the completion of the study, 
CNA will provide a report to the Chaplain of the Marine Corps detailing 
findings from the surveys and interviews. Only aggregate data will be 
reported. We expect that ASIST course participants will respond to the 
survey to be active participants in shaping future Marine Corps 
programming.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households (Active Duty Marines).
    Annual Burden Hours: 325.
    Number of Respondents: 1,300.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 1,300.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency: One-time.

    Dated: July 22, 2025.
