Project: Addiction Technology Transfer 

Centers (ATTC) National Workforce 

Data Collection 

The ATTC Network, a nationwide, 

multidisciplinary resource that draws 

upon the knowledge, experience and 

latest research of recognized experts in 

the field of addictions and behavioral 

health, is a unique CSAT initiative 

formed in 1993 in response to a shortage 

of well-trained addiction and behavioral 

health professionals in the public sector. 

The ATTC Network works to enhance 

the knowledge, skills and aptitudes of 

the addiction/behavioral health 

treatment and recovery services 

workforce by disseminating 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 ATTC Network (1) 

develops and updates state-of-the-art 

research based curricula and 

professional development training, (2) 

coordinates and facilitates meetings 

between Single State Authorities, 

Provider Associations and other key 

stakeholders, and (3) provides ongoing 

technical assistance to individuals and 

organizations at the local, regional and 

national levels. 

In response to the emerging shortages 

of qualified addiction treatment and 

recovery services professionals, 

SAMHSA/CSAT instructed the ATTC 

National Office to lead the ATTC 

Network in the development and 

implementation of a national addiction 

treatment workforce data collection 

effort of those individuals who work in 

substance use specialty treatment 

services. The purpose of this survey and 

data collection is to gather information 

to guide the formation of effective 

national, regional, state, and 

organizational policies and strategies 

aimed at successfully recruiting and 

retaining a sufficient number of 

adequately prepared providers who are 

able to respond to the growing needs of 

those affected by substance use and 

mental health disorders; including cooccurring disorders and trauma. This 

data collection will offer a unique 

perspective on the clinical treatment 

field so that CSAT and the ATTC 

Network can better understand current 

successful strategies and methodologies 

being used in the workforce and 

develop appropriate training for 

emerging trends in the field. 

Although SAMHSA/CSAT is the 

primary target audience for data 

collection findings, it is expected that 

the data collected and resulting reports 

will also be useful to the ATTC 

Network, as well as to Single State 

Agencies, provider organizations, 

professional organizations, training and 

education entities, and individuals in 

the workforce. 

Overview of Data Collection and 

Purposes 

Data will be collected from two main 

sources: 1. A random sample of clinical 

directors or a designated direct care 

supervisor from facilities listed in the I– 

SATS database. 2. A national sample of 

clinical directors and key thought 

leaders, identified by CSAT in 

conjunction with the ATTC network, in 

the substance use disorders treatment 

field. Respondents will be asked to 

participate in at least one of three (3) 

distinct methods. They are: 

• A web-based Clinical Director Survey 

(also available in paper format) 

• On-line Focus Groups 

• Key Informant Telephone Interviews 

In addition to this original data 

collection, existing national data sets 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES
17932 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 62 / Thursday, March 31, 2011 / Notices 

will also be utilized. Such data systems 

will include: 

• Census 2000 datasets 

• National Survey of Substance Abuse 

Treatment Services (N–SSATS) 

• SAMHSA Treatment Gap Projection 

Analysis 

• Treatment Episode Data 

• Bureau of Labor datasets such as 

Current Employment Statistics 

• Annapolis Coalition Data 

Clinical Director Survey: The Clinical 

Director Survey asks 57 questions of the 

clinical director or a designated direct 

care supervisor (direct care refers to staff 

members who spend a majority of their 

time providing clinical care for clients 

with substance use and/or co-occurring 

disorders as their primary diagnosis). 

For the purpose of this survey, the 

clinical director is defined as the person 

whose role it is to oversee direct clinical 

service delivery for this facility. The 

instrument asks respondents to report 

demographic information about both 

themselves and the direct care staff they 

supervise, information about the facility 

at which they currently work, as well as 

information about their job satisfaction, 

recruitment and retention strategies, 

clinician training and preparation, and 

staff turnover. 

On-Line Focus Groups: On-line Focus 

Groups will be utilized to gather 

qualitative data from two sources: 1. 

Clinical supervisors and/or direct care 

staff in leadership positions; 2. Thought 

leaders in addiction/behavioral health 

treatment to include Single State 

Authorities (SSAs), addiction treatment 

agency directors, academics, and policy 

makers. An on-line platform, 

IdeaScale.com will be used to gather 

qualitative data about future trends in 

substance use and co-occurring 

disorders and trauma treatment. 

IdeaScale will also be used to gather 

information from clinical supervisors 

and direct care staff on effective and 

creative staff development, recruitment, 

and retention strategies being used by 

the agency for which they work. These 

ideas will be posted for this community 

of invited participants to comment on 

and discuss; thus allowing a national 

audience to participate in this on-line 

focus group. 

Key Informant Telephone Interviews: 

Based on participation in the on-line 

focus groups, a minimum of 40 

IdeaScale respondents will be selected 

for telephone interviews. The purpose 

of these interviews is to enrich 

understanding surrounding current and 

future trends in substance use and cooccurring disorders and trauma 

treatment as well as effective workforce 

development, recruitment, and retention 

strategies. An interview script has been 

developed to guide the question 

formation for the interviews. 

Overview of Questions Related to Data 

Collection 

The objectives of the national 

addiction treatment workforce data 

collection effort are to understand the 

national demographics of the current 

workforce and how this differs across 

regions and states, in addition to 

exploring issues related to workforce 

development: 1. Staff training, 

recruitment and retention; 2. 

Professional development; and 3. 

Support for strategies and 

methodologies to prepare, recruit, 

retain, and sustain the workforce. To 

accomplish these objectives, CSAT 

outlined three primary questions to be 

addressed by the workforce data 

collection: 

1. What are the basic demographics of 

the workforce? 

For the purposes of the ATTC data 

collection effort, this means that we will 

comprehensively describe the workforce 

comprised of direct care staff, clinical 

supervisors, and administrators in 

agencies represented in the Inventory of 

Substance Abuse Treatment Services (I– 

SATS). 

2. What are the anticipated workforce 

development needs for 2011–2016? 

For the purposes of this data 

collection, the ATTC Network will 

identify the growth and capacitybuilding needs over the next five years 

of direct care staff, clinical supervisors, 

and administrators in agencies 

represented in the I–SATS registry. 

3. What are the common strategies and 

methodologies to prepare, retain, and 

maintain the workforce? 

Identification of potentially effective 

strategies used to prepare and recruit 

individuals to enter the workforce (as 

previously defined), and encourage 

them to remain in the workforce and 

stay current on clinical and other job 

related skills (e.g., evidence based 

practices). 

This will be the first national survey 

of the substance use disorders treatment 

workforce. The quantitative survey and 

the qualitative interviews and analysis 

will be used to provide a snapshot of the 

current state of the addiction treatment 

workforce as it relates to demographics, 

workforce development needs, and 

retention and maintenance of a strong 

workforce. These data will provide 

national benchmark data that can be 

used to inform ongoing policy and 

practice. 

Information collected from this 

workforce data collection will help 

CSAT and the ATTC Network to better 

understand the needs of the workforce 

and categorize some best practices for 

providing support to the field now and 

in the future. Emerging trends in 

addiction and/or co-occurring and 

trauma treatment and the existence of 

mental health problems in substance 

use disorder treatment and recovery 

services will be identified and shared 

with those in the addiction/behavioral 

health treatment field so appropriate 

training and funding can be allocated. 

The information from this data 

collection will also help CSAT identify 

areas where deficiencies in substance 

use and/or co-occurring disorder and 

trauma treatment exist and provide 

assistance to regions (and states) to help 

them develop and adopt strategies for 

addressing this.

annualized burden for this project.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Homeland Security Act of 2002 

assigns DHS the responsibility to lead 

the national effort to identify, prioritize, 

and assess the nature and scope of 

threats to the United States and develop 

a comprehensive national plan for 

securing the Nation’s critical 

infrastructure and key resources (CIKR). 

At DHS, this responsibility is managed 

by IP within NPPD. In Fiscal Year 2006, 

IP engaged in the annual development 

of a list of CIKR assets and systems to 

improve IP’s CIKR prioritization efforts; 

this list is called the Critical 

Infrastructure List. The Critical 

Infrastructure List includes assets and 

systems that, if destroyed, damaged or 

otherwise compromised, could result in 

significant consequences on a regional 

or national scale. 

The IP Data Call is administered out 

of the IP Infrastructure Information 

Collection Division (IICD). The IP Data 

Call provides opportunities for states 

and territories to collaborate with DHS 

and its Federal partners in CIKR 

protection. DHS, state, and territorial 

Homeland Security Advisors (HSA), 

Sector Specific Agencies (SSA), and 

territories build their CIKR data using
