Evaluation of the Cooperative Agreement for Mental Health Care
Provider Education in HIV/AIDS Program II--New--The Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) Center for Mental
Health Services (CMHS) intends to conduct a multi-site evaluation of
its Cooperative Agreement for Mental Health Care Provider Education in
HIV/AIDS Program II. The education programs funded under this
cooperative agreement are designed to disseminate knowledge of the
psychological and neuropsychiatric sequelae of HIV/AIDS to both
traditional (e.g., psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, primary care
physicians, medical students, and social workers) and non-traditional
(e.g., clergy, and alternative health care workers) first-line
providers of mental health services. The multi-site evaluation is
designed to assess the effectiveness of particular training curricula,
document the integrity of training delivery formats, and assess the
effectiveness of the various training delivery formats.
Analyses will assist CMHS in documenting the numbers and types of
traditional and non-traditional mental health providers accessing
training; the content, nature and types of training participants
receive; and the extent to which trainees experience knowledge, skill
and attitude gains/changes as a result of training attendance. The
multi-site evaluation design uses a two-tiered data collection and
analytic strategy to collect information on (1) the organization and
delivery of training, and (2) the impact of training on participants'
knowledge, skills and abilities.
Information about the organization and delivery of training will be
collected from trainers and staff who are funded by these cooperative
agreements hence there is no respondent burden. All training
participants attending sessions lasting less than 6 hours will be asked
to complete a brief evaluation form at the end of the training session.
Trainees attending sessions lasting 6 hours or longer will be asked to
complete brief pre-and post-session evaluation questionnaires. A sample
of trainees attending sessions lasting 6 hours or longer will also be
asked to complete a brief follow-up telephone interview three months
after the training session. CMHS has funded seven education sites under
the Cooperative Agreement for Mental Health Care Provider Education in
HIV/AIDS Program II. The annual burden estimates for this activity are
shown below:
