| **Review of |   | -   The goal of the MCH training programs is for    |
| draft tool  |   |     enrollees to "broadly represent the             |
| to report   |   |     population". A draft instrument developed from  |
| and monitor |   |     workgroup discussion was shared with workgroup  |
| number and  |   |     members prior to today's call. Several          |
| char        |   |     suggestions were made for rewording of aspects  |
| acteristics |   |     of the tool to better get at the information    |
| of trainees |   |     needed in a sensitive fashion. These included   |
| from        |   |     asking about economically disadvantaged         |
| under-      |   |     background and disability status. The group     |
| represented |   |     encouraged the construct questions in a yes/no  |
| population  |   |     format as much as possible.                     |

| **Review of |   | -   Our goal is to identify trainees from           |
| draft tool  |   |     'underrepresented" groups to measure progress   |
| to gather   |   |     on obtaining a trainee pool that does broadly   |
| information |   |     represent the population. Suggestions were made |
| from        |   |     to alter some language to describe under-served |
| graduates   |   |     geographic area, and to add examples of other   |
| regarding   |   |     "under-served groups" and policy issues.        |

| **          |   | -   Relevant to both tools is the issue of          |
| Overarching |   |     differentiating long/medium/short term grantees |
| Issues**    |   |     for data collection purposes. It may be more    |
|             |   |     difficult to collect data from short-termers    |
|             |   |     than long-termers. There is a lack of clarity   |
|             |   |     about the time boundaries for these groups.     |
