Download as PDF 50935 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 166 / Monday, August 28, 2006 / Notices who agree to participate in the evaluation. Data collection consists of interviews conducted at baseline,6- and 12-month intervals. The current proposal requests: 1. Adding a new instrument, the PTSD Checklist (PCL), as a measure of trauma-specific symptoms to the baseline, 6- and 12-month interviews. 2. Extending the use of DC Trauma Screen, currently administered only at baseline, to be included in the 6- and 12 month interviews. The DC Trauma Screen examines the prevalence of experience of trauma within general types. The PCL and the DC Trauma Screen each take 5 minutes to complete. Including these measures would add 5 minutes to the length of the Baseline interview and ten minutes to the length of the 6- and 12-Month interviews. New grantees were awarded on April 30, 2006 under the TCE Grants for Jail Diversion program and will commence data collection efforts in FY 2007.
