Project: Addiction Technology Transfer
Centers (ATTC) Network Program
Monitoring (OMB No. 0930–0216)—
Extension
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.
CSAT monitors the performance of
ATTC events. The ATTCs hold three
types of events: Technical assistance
events, meetings, and trainings. An
ATTC technical assistance event is
defined as 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. An
ATTC meeting is defined as an ATTC
sponsored or co-sponsored events 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. An ATTC
training is defined as an ATTC
sponsored or co-sponsored event of at
least three hours that focuses on the
enhancement of knowledge and/or
skills. Higher education classes are
included in this definition with each
course considered as one training event.
CSAT currently uses seven (7)
instruments to monitor the performance
and improve the quality of ATTC
events. Two (2) of these forms, the
Meeting Follow-up Form and the
Technical Assistance Follow-up Form,
are currently approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) through
approval for CSAT Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA)
Customer Satisfaction instruments
(OMB No. 0930–0197). CSAT is not
seeking any action related to these two
forms at this time. They are merely
referenced here to provide clarity and
context to the description of the forms
CSAT uses to monitor the performance
of the ATTCs.
The remaining five (5) instruments for
program monitoring and quality
improvement of ATTC events are
currently approved by the OMB (OMB
No. 0930–0216) for use through April
30, 2013. These five forms are as
follows: Event Description Form;
Training Post Event Form; Training
Follow-up Form; Meeting Post Event
Form; and Technical Assistance Post
Event Form. 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 30-day follow-up forms that are
distributed to consenting participants
via electronic mail using an online
survey tool. At this time, CSAT is
requesting approval to extend the use of
these five forms as is, with no revisions.
A description of each of these forms
follows.
(1) Event Description Form (EDF). The
EDF collects descriptive information
about each of the events of the ATTC
Network. This instrument asks
approximately 10 questions of ATTC
faculty/staff relating to the event focus
and format, as well as publications to be
used during the event. It allows the
ATTC Network and CSAT to track the
number and types of events held. There
are no revisions to the form. CSAT is
proposing to continue to use the form as
is.
(2) Training Post Event Form. This
form is distributed to training
participants at the end of the training
activity, and collected from them before
they leave. For training events which
take place over an extended period of
time, this form is completed after the
final session of training. The form asks
approximately 30 questions of each
individual that participated in the
training. Training participants are asked
to report demographic information,
education, profession, field of study,
status of certification or licensure,
workplace role, employment setting,

(5) Technical Assistance (TA) Post
Event form. This form is distributed to
technical assistance participants at the
end of the TA event. This form asks
approximately 30 questions of each
individual that participated in the TA
event. TA participants are asked to
report demographic information,
education, profession, field of study,
status of certification or licensure,
workplace role, employment setting,
and satisfaction with the quality of the
event and event materials, and to assess
their level of skills in the topic area. No
revisions are being made to the form.
CSAT is proposing to continue to use
the form as is.
The information collected on the
ATTC forms 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.

training and training materials, and to
assess their level of skills in the topic
area. There are no revisions to the form.
CSAT is proposing to continue to use
the form as is.
(3) Training Follow-up Form. The
Training Follow-up form, which is
administered 30-days after the event to
25% of consenting participants, asks
about 25 questions. The form asks
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. No revisions are
being made to the form. CSAT is
proposing to continue to use the form as
is.
(4) Meeting Post Event Form. This
form is distributed to meeting
participants at the end of the meeting,
and collected from them before they
leave. This form asks approximately 30
questions of each individual that
participated in the meeting. Meeting
participants are asked to report
demographic information, education,
profession, field of study, status of
certification or licensure, workplace
role, employment setting, and
satisfaction with the quality of the event
and event materials, and to assess their
level of skills in the topic area. No
revisions are being made to the form.

Project: Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTC) Network Program
Monitoring (OMB No. 0930-0216)--Extension
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, research-based curricula
and professional development training.
CSAT monitors the performance of ATTC events. The ATTCs hold three
types of events: Technical assistance events, meetings, and trainings.
An ATTC technical assistance event is defined as a jointly planned
