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.

Annual Burden Hours: 325.
Number of Respondents: 1,300.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 1,300.
