Title: Cross-Site Evaluation of the
Infant Adoption Awareness Training
Program for Projects Initially Funded in
Fiscal Year 2006–NEW.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), Childrens
Bureau (CB), will conduct the Cross-Site
Evaluation of the Infant Adoption
Awareness Training Program (IAATP).
Title XII, Subtitle A, of the Childrens
Health Act of 2000 (CHA) authorizes the
Department of Health and Human
Services to make Infant Adoption
Awareness Training grants available to
national, regional, and local adoption
organizations for the purposes of
developing and implementing programs
that train the staff of public and nonprofit private health service
organizations to provide adoption
information and referrals to pregnant
women on an equal basis with all other
courses of action included in nondirective counseling of pregnant
women. Participants in the training
include individuals who provide
pregnancy or adoption information and
those who will provide such services
after receiving the training, with Title X
(relating to voluntary family planning
projects), Section 330 (relating to
community health centers, migrant
health centers, and centers serving
homeless individuals and residents of
public housing), and CHA-funded
school-based health centers, receiving
priority to receive the training. A total

of six organizations were awarded
IAATP funding in 2006.
Section 1201(a)(2)(A) of the IAATP
legislation requires grantees to develop
and deliver trainings that are consistent
with the Best Practice Guidelines for
Infant Adoption Awareness Training.
The IAATP guidelines address training
goals, basic skills, curriculum and
training structure. A complete
description of the guidelines is available
at https://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/
programs_fund/discretionary/iaatp.htm.
In addition, grantees are required to
conduct local evaluation of program
outcomes and participate in the national
evaluation of the extent to which IAATP
training objectives are met. The Infant
Adoption Awareness Training Program:
Trainee Survey is the primary data
collection instrument for the national
cross-site evaluation. Respondents will
complete the survey prior to receiving
training and approximately 90 days after
the training to assess the extent to
which trainees demonstrate sustained
gains in their knowledge about
adoption, and to determine the impact
of the training on their subsequent work
with pregnant women.
1. Do health care workers who
participate in the IAATP training:
Demonstrate enhanced knowledge,
attitudes, skills, and behaviors with
respect to adoption counseling
following completion of the program?
Provide adoption information to
pregnant women on an equal basis with
other pregnancy planning options?
Demonstrate enhanced awareness of
community adoption-related resources
and refer expectant mothers to them as
needed?
2. Are trainees more confident about
discussing all three pregnancy planning
options (parenting, abortion, and
adoption) in a non-directive counseling
