Project: Addiction Technology Transfer
Centers (ATTC) Network Program
Monitoring (OMB No. 0930–0216)—
Revision
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Administration’s (SAMHSA)
Center for Substance Abuse Treatment
(CSAT) will continue to monitor
program performance of its Addiction
Technology Transfer Centers (ATTCs).
The ATTCs disseminate current health
services research from the National
Institute on Drug Abuse, National
Institute on Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism, National Institute of Mental
Health, Agency for Health Care Policy
and Research, National Institute of
Justice, and other sources, as well as
other SAMHSA programs. To
accomplish this, the ATTCs develop
and update state-of-the-art, researchbased curricula and professional
development training.
Each of the forms is described below.
There are no changes to any of the
forms. Sixty percent of the forms are
administered in person to participants
at educational and training events, who
complete the forms by paper and pencil.
Ten percent of the training courses are
online, and thus, those forms are
administered online. The remaining
thirty percent is made up of those 30day follow-up forms that are distributed
to consenting participants via electronic
mail using an online survey tool.
Event Description: The event
description form asks approximately 10
questions of the ATTC faculty/staff for
each of the ATTC events. The approved
form asks the event focus, format, and
publications to be used in the event.
Technical Assistance and Meeting
Pre-event Information: The ATTCs
provide technical assistance, which is a
jointly planned consultation generally
involving a series of contacts between
the ATTC and an outside organization/
institution during which the ATTC
provides expertise and gives direction
toward resolving a problem or
improving conditions. A meeting is an
ATTC sponsored or co-sponsored event
in which a group of people representing
one or more agencies other than the
ATTC work cooperatively on a project,
problem, and/or a policy. For technical
assistance and meeting events, the preevent information form asks
approximately 10 questions of each
individual who participated in the
event. The approved form asks the
participants to report their demographic
information, education, work setting,
responsibilities, and training goals.
Satisfaction measures after each
technical assistance and meeting event
and at 30-day follow-up will be
collected using the CSAT Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA)
Customer Satisfaction forms. The
burden has been approved under OMB
# 0930–0197.
Training Forms
Trainings are defined as ATTC
sponsored or co-sponsored events,
mainly focusing on the enhancement of
knowledge and/or skills of counselors
and other professionals who work with
individuals with substance use
disorder-related problems. The study
design for trainees will include a
description of each event, and a pre-post
survey that collects identical
information at initiation of ATTC
courses/trainings, at the completion of
the course/training, and again after 30
days.
Pre-Event Information Form for
Training: The pre-event information
form for training asks approximately 10
questions of each participant in the
training. The approved form asks the
participants to report demographic
information, education, work setting,
responsibilities, and training goals.
Post-Event Information Form for
Training: The Post-Event Information
Form for Training asks approximately
30 questions of each individual that
participated in the training. The
approved form asks the participants to
report demographic information,
satisfaction with the quality of the
training and training materials, and to
assess their level of skills in the topic
area.
Followup Information Form for
Training: The Followup Information
Form for Training asks about 10
questions of about 25% of consenting
participants. The approved form asks
the participants to report demographic
information, satisfaction with the
quality of the training and training
materials, and to assess their level of
skills in the topic area.
This information will assist CSAT in
documenting the numbers and types of
participants in ATTC events, describing
the extent to which participants report
improvement in their clinical
competency, and which method is most
effective in disseminating knowledge to
various audiences. This type of
information is crucial to support CSAT
in complying with GPRA reporting
requirements and will inform future
development of knowledge
dissemination activities.

Proposed Project: Cross-site Evaluation
of the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial
Suicide Prevention and Early
Intervention Programs—New
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health
Services (CMHS) will conduct the crosssite evaluation of the Garrett Lee Smith
Memorial Suicide Prevention and Early
Intervention State/Tribal Programs and
the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Suicide
Prevention Campus Programs. The data
collected through the cross-site
evaluation will address four stages of
program activity: (1) The context stage
will assess the existing databases and
availability of data sources, (2) the
product stage will describe the products
and services that are developed and
utilized by these programs, (3) the
process stage will assess the progress on
key activities and milestones related to
implementation of program plans, and
(4) the impact stage will assess the
impact of program activities on youth/
students, gatekeepers, faculty/staff, and
program partners within States/Tribal
sites and campus sites. In addition,
enhanced evaluation efforts are planned
for the Tennessee Lives Count Suicide
Prevention Program. The purpose of the
enhanced evaluation is to expand upon
self-evaluation and cross-site evaluation
efforts to evaluate medium- and longterm outcomes associate with suicide
prevention program activities.
There are 36 State/Tribal programs
and 55 Campus programs participating
in the cross-site evaluation. Data will be
collected from suicide prevention
program staff (project directors,

20:43 Dec 26, 2006
Jkt 211001
evaluators), key program stakeholders
(state/local officials, child-serving
agency directors, gatekeepers, mental
health providers, campus
administrators), training participants,
college students, and campus faculty/
staff. Data collection for the cross-site
evaluation will be conducted over a
three-year period that spans FY2007
through FY2009. Because the State/
Tribal grantees differ from the campus
grantees in programmatic approaches,
specific data collection activities also
vary by type of program. The following
describes the specific data collection
activities and the sixteen data collection
instruments to be used, followed by a
summary table of number of
respondents and respondent burden:
• Existing Database Inventory (2
versions). The Existing Database
Inventory includes two versions to be
administered to one respondent from (1)
The 36 State/Tribal grantees and (2) the
55 Campus grantees. The Existing
Database Inventory will be completed
once in year one and once in year three
of the cross-site evaluation by program
staff. The questions included assess the
availability of existing data, the
integration of data systems, and the data
elements that may or may not be
collected in each system. The Existing
Database Inventory will take
approximately 30 minutes to complete
and the number of existing databases
within each grantee site will determine
the number of items to complete.
Questions on the Existing Database
Inventory are open-ended and multiple
choice.
• Product and Services InventoryState/Tribal (2 versions). The Product
and Services Inventory for State/Tribal
grantees includes 2 versions. The State/
Tribal grantees will complete the State/
Tribal Product and Services InventoryBaseline version once in year one of the
cross-site evaluation and the State/
Tribal Product and Services InventoryFollow-up version quarterly thereafter
in years two and three. The baseline
version assesses the development and
utilization of products and services
during the first year of grant funding,
and the follow-up version updates the
development of products and services
on a quarterly basis. These products and
services may include awareness
campaign products and materials; risk
identification training materials and
workshops; and enhanced services,
including early intervention, family
support, and postsuicide intervention
services, as well as evidence-based
programs. Both versions of the State/
Tribal Product and Services Inventory
will take approximately 45 minutes and
the number of products and services

developed and utilized within each
grantee site will determine the number
of items to complete. Questions on both
versions of the State/Tribal Product and
Services Inventory are open-ended and
multiple choice.
• Product and Services InventoryCampus (2 versions). The Product and
Services Inventory for Campus grantees
includes 2 versions. The Campus
grantees will complete the Campus
Product and Services Inventory-Baseline
version once in year one of the cross-site
evaluation and will complete the
Campus Product and Services
Inventory-Follow-up version quarterly
thereafter in years two and three. The
baseline version assesses the
development and utilization of products
and services during the first year of
grant funding, and the follow-up version
updates the development of products
and services on a quarterly basis. These
products and services may include
awareness campaign products and
materials; risk identification training
materials and workshops; and enhanced
services, including early intervention,
family support, and postsuicide
intervention services, as well as
evidence-based programs. Both versions
of the Campus Product and Services
Inventory will take approximately 45
minutes and the number of products
and services developed and utilized
within each grantee site will determine
the number of items to complete.
Questions on both versions of the State/
Tribal Product and Services Inventory
are open-ended and multiple choice.
• Referral Network Survey (1 version).
The Referral Network Survey will be
administered to representatives of
organizations and/or agencies involved
in the referral networks that support the
36 State/Tribal suicide prevention
programs. The 14 State/Tribal grantees
funded in October 2005 will receive two
administrations of the Referral Network
Survey and the 22 State/Tribal grantees
funded in June and October 2006 will
receive 3 administrations. It is estimated
that for each of the 36 State/Tribal
referral networks, there are
approximately 20 agencies/
organizations involved. Therefore,
assuming 2 appropriate respondents per
agency/organizations and an 80%
response rate, we estimated that 3,008
respondents would complete the
Referral Network Survey, or 1,003
annually. The questions included on the
Referral Network Survey will describe
the referral networks, the agencies and
organizations involved and at what level
and the types of agency agreements and
protocols are in place to support youth
who are identified at risk for suicide.
