information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: OTIP's NHTTAC delivers training and technical
assistance (T/TA) to inform and deliver a public health response to
trafficking. In applying a public health approach, NHTTAC builds the
capacity of professionals, organizations, and communities to identify
and respond to the complex needs of all individuals who have
experienced trafficking or who have increased risk for trafficking and
address the root causes that put individuals, families, and communities
at risk of trafficking. These efforts ultimately help improve the
availability and delivery of coordinated and trauma-informed services
before, during, and after an individual's trafficking exploitation.
NHTTAC provides a variety of services, programs, and facilitated T/
TA sessions to improve service provision to people who have experienced
trafficking or who have increased risk factors for trafficking,
including the Stop, Observe, Ask, and Respond (SOAR) to Health and
Wellness training; specialized T/TA; NHTTAC Customer Support; and
information through resources and materials about trafficking. This
information collection is intended to collect feedback from
participants to assess T/TA provided by NHTTAC. Revisions have been
made in order to reduce respondent burden where applicable.
Additionally, since this collection was last renewed, the SOAR
Demonstration Grant Program went into effect. The program's goal is to
fund the implementation of SOAR trainings and related capacity building
efforts to identify, treat, and respond to clients who have experienced
human trafficking in healthcare settings. Feedback from SOAR
Demonstration Grant Program recipients who participate in NHTTAC SOAR
offerings is obtained through instruments approved within this NHTTAC
Evaluation Package (0970-0519). Burden estimates have been adjusted to
account for these SOAR Demonstration Grant Program participants where
applicable.
Respondents: NHTTAC T/TA participants include OTIP grant
recipients, including SOAR Demonstration Grant program recipients,
individuals with lived experience, professionals who interact with and
provide services to individuals who have experienced trafficking or are
at risk of trafficking, including healthcare, behavioral health, public
health, and human service practitioners, organizations, and
communities.
