Information Collection Request Title: Education and Training of Healthcare Providers as a Coordinated Public Health Response to Violence Against Women Abstract: The Office on Women’s Health (OWH) recently received an approval by OMB 0990–0422 which expires August 31, 2015; however OWH is now requesting a three year extension to further conduct the pilot and evaluation of an eLearning course developed as part of the ‘‘Education and Training of Healthcare Providers as a Coordinated Public Health Response to Violence Against Women Project’’. The purpose of this data collection is to gather data from healthcare providers who have volunteered to participate in the pilot and evaluation of an e-learning course designed to educate and train healthcare providers on how to respond to intimate partner violence (IPV) against women. Information obtained from this data collection will be used to identify areas of improvement and measure the effectiveness of the elearning course in educating healthcare providers about IPV, addressing attitudinal barriers to IPV screening, and increasing IPV screening in clinical practice. This data will also help identify any problems in the navigation and functioning of the e-learning course. The results of this evaluation will assist OWH in making revisions to the course and subsequently coordinating a national launch, making the e-learning course available to healthcare providers across the U.S. All data collection forms and activities will be used within a year time frame. Likely Respondents: The respondents for this pilot and evaluation are healthcare providers (physicians, nurses, and social workers) who are members of professional associations and who provide services in Nevada, Oklahoma, and South Carolina.

Background and Brief Description The CDC is requesting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to grant a three year approval to collect data that comprises the Training Follow-up Instrument, the Technical Assistance Satisfaction Instrument, and the Capacity Building Assistance (CBA) Key Informant Interview. The purpose of this information collection is to assess how well the CDC’s CBA program meets the needs of its consumers in order to enhance its capacity building strategy over time. The PTCs and CBA providers are funded by CDC/Division of STD Prevention (DSTDP) and Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) over the five-year period to provide capacitybuilding services that includes information, training, and technical assistance. CBA means the provision of free (not for fee) information, training, technical assistance, and technology transfer to individuals, organizations, and communities to improve their capacity in the delivery and effectiveness of evidence-based E:\FR\FM\24FEN1.SGM 24FEN1 9725 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 36 / Tuesday, February 24, 2015 / Notices interventions and core public health strategies for HIV prevention.

CBA services are requested by health departments, community-based organizations, and healthcare organizations and also offered proactively. Under this project, there will be no duplication of information collection, because it builds on existing, OMB approved data collection activities. The PTCs and CBA providers offer classroom and experiential training, web-based training, clinical consultation, and capacity building assistance to maintain and enhance the capacity of healthcare professionals to control and prevent STDs and HIV. The CBA service recipients are healthcare professionals who work at communitybased organizations (CBOs), health departments, and healthcare organizations, most of whom are funded directly or indirectly by the CDC, involved in HIV prevention service delivery.

Administered by the project contractor, the CBA key informant interviews will be conducted via telephone with a subset of up to 40 recipients of CBA services. The interview takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. The 7,400 respondents represent an average of the number of health professionals who receive training and technical assistance from the CBA and PTC grantees during the years 2010 and 2011. The data collection is necessary (a) to assess CBA consumers’ (community-based organizations, health departments, and healthcare organizations) satisfaction with and short-term outcomes from the overall CBA program as well as specific elements of the CBA program; (b) to improve CBA services and enhance the Capacity Building Branch’s national capacity building strategy over time; (c) to assess the performance of the grantees in delivering training and technical assistance and to standardize the registration processes across the two CBA programs (i.e., the PTC program and the CBA program) and multiple grantees funded by each program.

interventions and core public health strategies for HIV prevention. CBA 
is provided to support health departments, community-based 
organizations, and healthcare organizations in the implementation, 
monitoring and evaluation of evidence-based HIV prevention 
interventions and programs; building organizational infrastructure; and 
community mobilization to decrease stigma and increase HIV testing in 
high risk communities. CBA services are requested by health 
departments, community-based organizations, and healthcare 
organizations and also offered proactively. Under this project, there 
will be no duplication of information collection, because it builds on 
existing, OMB approved data collection activities.
    The PTCs and CBA providers offer classroom and experiential 
training, web-based training, clinical consultation, and capacity 
building assistance to maintain and enhance the capacity of healthcare 
professionals to control and prevent STDs and HIV. The CBA service 
recipients are healthcare professionals who work at community-based

    CDC is requesting to use two web-based assessments that will be 
administered to recipients of CBA services: (1) Training Follow-Up 
Instrument and (2) Technical Assistance Satisfaction Instrument. The 
first quantitative assessment will be disseminated 90 days after a 
training event to agency staff who participated in a training activity. 
It takes approximately 12 minutes to complete. The purpose of this web-
based assessment is to determine the training participants' 
satisfaction with the trainers, training materials, and the course 
pace, benefits from the training, and CBA needs, how relevant the 
training was to their work, and whether they were able to utilize the 
information gained from the training. The second quantitative 
assessment will be disseminated 45 days after a technical assistance 
event to agency staff who participated in a technical assistance. This 
instrument takes approximately 12 minutes to complete. The purpose of 
the second assessment is to assess participants' satisfaction with the 
technical assistance they received, intended or actual use of enhanced 
capacity, barriers and facilitators to use, and benefits of the 
technical assistance.
    The purpose of the CBA Key Informant Interview is to collect 
qualitative information to assess the impact of CBA services on 
organizational capacity (e.g., application of knowledge and skills, 
potential organization changes as a result of CBA services) and to 
solicit information about how the CBA program can be improved. 
Administered by the project contractor, the CBA key informant 
interviews will be conducted via telephone with a subset of up to 40 
recipients of CBA services. The interview takes approximately 15 
minutes to complete.
    The 7,400 respondents represent an average of the number of health 
professionals who receive training and technical assistance from the 
CBA and PTC grantees during the years 2010 and 2011. The data 
collection is necessary (a) to assess CBA consumers' (community-based 
organizations, health departments, and healthcare organizations) 
satisfaction with and short-term outcomes from the overall CBA program
