Information Collection Request Title: Evaluation of the National Training on Trauma-Informed Care (TIC).

Abstract: The HHS OWH is requesting OMB approval to conduct a new, one time outcome evaluation of the National Training Initiative on Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) for Community-Based Providers From Diverse Service Systems training curriculum. Policymakers and providers in many service sectors recognize the central role of trauma in causing or complicating physical and behavioral health conditions and the critical need for trauma-informed care (TIC) systems. The proposed evaluation will capture both knowledge gained and implementation impact achieved as a result of the TIC training and TA. Analyses and findings will be used to further refine the TIC curriculum and training approach, and can help inform OWH and HHS in future policymaking efforts. Information collected will also help researchers and practitioners better understand the impact of adopting a trauma-informed approach on and the quality of care provided by community-based providers.

Likely respondents:
