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
PO 00000
Frm 00094
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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,
satisfaction with the quality of the
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.
CSAT is proposing to continue to use
the form as is.

Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.
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
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, satisfaction with the quality of the 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. CSAT is proposing to continue
to use the form as is.
[[Page 56671]]
(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.
