National Network of Sexually
Transmitted Diseases Clinical
Prevention Training Centers (NNPTC):
Evaluation (OMB Control No. 0920–
0995, Expiration 10/31/2016)—
Reinstatement with Change—National
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis,
STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Division of STD
Prevention (DSTDP) requests a threeyear approval for this reinstatement
with change to the previously OMB
approved information collection project
entitled, ‘‘Health Professional
Application for Training (HPAT) OMB
#0920–0995 exp. 10/31/2016’’. The
revision request consists of changing the
title to ‘‘National Network of Sexually
Transmitted Disease Clinical Prevention
Training Centers (NNPTC): Evaluation’’,
abbreviating the Health Professional
Application for Training HPAT form;
now called the ‘‘NNPTC HPAT’’. This
request also contains the following
changes: Elimination of 18 demographic
items from the HPAT, addition of 5
demographic items to the HPAT, and
addition of 98 evaluation questions to
be used in 14 post-course and 90-day
follow-up evaluation instruments to
monitor and evaluate program
outcomes.
The Prevention Training Centers
(PTCs) offer classroom, web-based, and
experiential training, clinical
consultation, and capacity building
assistance to maintain and enhance the
capacity of health care professionals to
screen for, diagnose, treat, manage, and
prevent STDs. Previously, there has not
been a systematic evaluation of the
outcomes of the NNPTC program. The

CDC’s Funding Opportunity
Announcement PS 14–1407, National
Network of Sexually Transmitted
Diseases Clinical Prevention Training
Centers (NNPTC) requires the collection
of demographic information on trainees
and the collection of national evaluation
outcomes. Therefore, the 14 new
evaluation forms were needed and the
previously approved HPAT registration
form was shortened to decrease the
burden on respondents. This evaluation
will provide the CDC with information
to assess the performance of their
grantees, and will provide the NNPTC
with information to improve program
processes and operations in order to
improve the quality of STD prevention
and treatment, a key public health and
evaluation activity promoted by the
CDC and DSTDP.
The NNPTC HPAT will serve as the
standard application and registration
form for all NNPTC trainings collecting
demographic information such as race,
gender, work contact information,
profession, functional role, work setting,
programmatic focus, and at-risk
populations served. NNPTC HPAT data
will be used to plan and organize
trainings, and determine whether
NNPTC trainings are reaching the
designated priority audiences: STD
experts and primary care providers who
serve adolescents, young adults,
pregnant women, and men who have
sex with men. Evaluation instruments
will be used to assess satisfaction with
the training, and measure participant
changes in knowledge, skills, intentions
to change clinical practices, and actual
changes in clinical practices.
Data will be collected up to three
times annually from 4,500 healthcare
professionals who provide STD
screening, diagnosis, and treatment or
provide services to populations at risk
of STD and receive NNPTC training or
technical assistance. This is a decrease
from the origionally approved 7,400 due
to a decrease in the number of PTCs and
therefore number of healthcare
professionals trained. All 4,500
healthcare professionals will complete
the NNPTC HPAT registration and all
will be asked via two emails to
voluntarily complete one evaluation
within several days after training (PostCourse Evaluation) and a second

evaluation (Long-Term Evaluation) three
months after training. A subset of 1,590
is expected to volunteer to complete the
Post-Course Evaluation, and a smaller
subset of 519 is expected to volunteer to
complete the Long-Term Evaluation.
The total burden hours for this request
is 416 hours compared to the originally
approved 617 burden hours.
The 3-minute NNPTC HPAT provides
an efficient online registration process
for all PTCs and takes two minutes less
to complete than the previously
approved version. The 14 evaluation
instruments vary in number of questions
based on the intensity of the training.
Time to complete the different
evaluation instruments ranges from 2
minutes for a one-hour training to 16
minutes for a multi-day training. Burden
is calculated for each instrument
separately based on number of
respondents and number of questions in
each instrument.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The estimated
annualized burden hours for this data
collection are 416 hours as compared to
617 for the previous approval. This
reduction in burden is due to the shorter
time needed to complete the HPAT (3
minutes versus the previously approved
5 minutes) and the smaller number of
estimated respondents (4,500 versus
7,400) since there are now fewer PTCs
conducting training. This savings for the
HPAT burden is greater than the
additional burden created by adding 14
new evaluation instruments since only
a subset of the 4,500 respondents will
complete the post-course evaluation and
90-day long-term evaluation.

National Network of Sexually Transmitted Diseases Clinical
Prevention Training Centers (NNPTC): Evaluation (OMB Control No. 0920-
0995, Expiration 10/31/2016)--Reinstatement with Change--National
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of
STD Prevention (DSTDP) requests a three-year approval for this
reinstatement with change to the previously OMB approved information
collection project entitled, ``Health Professional Application for
Training (HPAT) OMB #0920-0995 exp. 10/31/2016''. The revision request
consists of changing the title to ``National Network of Sexually

contains the following changes: Elimination of 18 demographic items
from the HPAT, addition of 5 demographic items to the HPAT, and
addition of 98 evaluation questions to be used in 14 post-course and
90-day follow-up evaluation instruments to monitor and evaluate program
outcomes.
The Prevention Training Centers (PTCs) offer classroom, web-based,
and experiential training, clinical consultation, and capacity building
assistance to maintain and enhance the capacity of health care
professionals to screen for, diagnose, treat, manage, and prevent STDs.
Previously, there has not been a systematic evaluation of the outcomes
of the NNPTC program. The CDC's Funding Opportunity Announcement PS 14-
1407, National Network of Sexually Transmitted Diseases Clinical
Prevention Training Centers (NNPTC) requires the collection of
demographic information on trainees and the collection of national
evaluation outcomes. Therefore, the 14 new evaluation forms were needed
and the previously approved HPAT registration form was shortened to
decrease the burden on respondents. This evaluation will provide the
CDC with information to assess the performance of their grantees, and
will provide the NNPTC with information to improve program processes
and operations in order to improve the quality of STD prevention and
treatment, a key public health and evaluation activity promoted by the
CDC and DSTDP.
The NNPTC HPAT will serve as the standard application and
registration form for all NNPTC trainings collecting demographic
information such as race, gender, work contact information, profession,
functional role, work setting, programmatic focus, and at-risk
populations served. NNPTC HPAT data will be used to plan and organize
trainings, and determine whether NNPTC trainings are reaching the
designated priority audiences: STD experts and primary care providers
who serve adolescents, young adults, pregnant women, and men who have
sex with men. Evaluation instruments will be used to assess
satisfaction with the training, and measure participant changes in
knowledge, skills, intentions to change clinical practices, and actual
changes in clinical practices.
Data will be collected up to three times annually from 4,500
healthcare professionals who provide STD screening, diagnosis, and
treatment or provide services to populations at risk of STD and receive
NNPTC training or technical assistance. This is a decrease from the
origionally approved 7,400 due to a decrease in the number of PTCs and
therefore number of healthcare professionals trained. All 4,500
healthcare professionals will complete the NNPTC HPAT registration and
all will be asked via two emails to voluntarily complete one evaluation
within several days after training (Post-Course Evaluation) and a
second

evaluation (Long-Term Evaluation) three months after training. A subset
of 1,590 is expected to volunteer to complete the Post-Course
Evaluation, and a smaller subset of 519 is expected to volunteer to
complete the Long-Term Evaluation. The total burden hours for this
request is 416 hours compared to the originally approved 617 burden
hours.
The 3-minute NNPTC HPAT provides an efficient online registration
process for all PTCs and takes two minutes less to complete than the
previously approved version. The 14 evaluation instruments vary in
number of questions based on the intensity of the training. Time to
complete the different evaluation instruments ranges from 2 minutes for
a one-hour training to 16 minutes for a multi-day training. Burden is
calculated for each instrument separately based on number of
respondents and number of questions in each instrument.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The
estimated annualized burden hours for this data collection are 416
hours as compared to 617 for the previous approval. This reduction in
burden is due to the shorter time needed to complete the HPAT (3
minutes versus the previously approved 5 minutes) and the smaller
number of estimated respondents (4,500 versus 7,400) since there are
now fewer PTCs conducting training. This savings for the HPAT burden is
greater than the additional burden created by adding 14 new evaluation
