Project: Cross-Site Evaluation of the 

National Child Traumatic Stress 

Initiative (NCTSI)—(OMB No. 0930– 

0276)—Revision 

The Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration’s 

(SAMHSA’s), Center for Mental Health 

Services (CMHS) will conduct the 

Cross-Site Evaluation of the National 

Child Traumatic Stress Initiative 

(NCTSI). The data collected will 

describe the children and families 

served by the National Child Traumatic 

Stress Network (NCTSN) and their 

outcomes, assess the development and 

dissemination of effective treatments 

and services, evaluate intra-network 

collaboration, and assess the Network’s 

impact beyond the NCTSN. 

Data will be collected from caregivers, 

youth, NCTSN staff (e.g., project 

directors, researchers, and providers), 

mental health providers outside of the 

NCTSN, and non-mental health service 

providers who provide services to 

children outside of the NCTSN. Data 

collection will take place in all 

Community Treatment and Services 

Programs (CTS) and Treatment and 

Service Adaptation Centers (TSA) active 

during the three-year approval period, 

and 2 National Centers for Child 

Traumatic Stress (NCCTS). Currently, 

there are 37 CTS centers and 13 TSA 

centers active, though this number 

could drop to 18 CTS centers and 5 TSA 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
11742 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 52 / Thursday, March 19, 2009 / Notices 

centers in 2009 depending on the 

number of new centers funded in that 

year. Throughout, burden estimates are 

calculated for an average of 44 centers 

in each year. 

The Cross-site Evaluation is 

composed of eight distinct study 

components, seven of which involve 

data collection and are described below. 

Descriptive and Clinical Outcomes 

In order to describe the children 

served, their trauma histories and their 

clinical and functional outcomes, five 

instruments will be used to collect data 

from youth ages 7–18 who are receiving 

services in the NCTSN, and from 

caregivers of all children who are 

receiving NCTSN services. Data will be 

collected when the child/youth enters 

services and during subsequent followup sessions at three-month intervals 

over the course of one year. This study 

relies upon the use of data already being 

collected as a part of the Network’s Core 

Data Set, and includes the following five 

instruments: 

• The Core Clinical Characteristics 

Form, which collects demographic, 

psychosocial and clinical information 

about the child being served including 

information about the child’s domestic 

environment and insurance status, 

indicators of the severity of the child’s 

problems, behaviors and symptoms, and 

use of non-Network services; 

• The Trauma Information/Detail 

Form, which collects information on the 

history of trauma(s) experienced by the 

child being served in the NCTSN 

including the type of trauma 

experienced, the age at which the 

trauma was experienced, type of 

exposure, whether or not the trauma is 

chronic, and the setting and 

perpetrator(s) associated with the 

traumatic experience; 

• The Child Behavior Checklist 

(CBCL) 1.5–5 and 6–18, which measures 

symptoms in such domains such as 

emotionally reactive, anxious/ 

depressed, somatic complaints, 

withdrawn, attention problems, 

aggressive behavior, sleep problems, 

rule-breaking behavior, social problems, 

thought problems, and withdrawn/ 

depressed; 

• The UCLA PTSD Short Form, 

which screens for exposure to traumatic 

events and for all DSM–IV PTSD 

symptoms in children who report 

traumatic stress experiences; and the 

• Trauma Symptoms Checklist for 

Children-Abbreviated (TSCC–A), which 

evaluates acute and chronic 

posttraumatic stress symptoms in 

children’s responses to unspecified 

traumatic events across several 

symptom domains. 

Approximately 1,900 youth and 2,500 

caregivers will participate in the 

descriptive and clinical outcomes study, 

with caregivers responding to four 

instruments, and youth responding to 

one. 

Consumer Satisfaction 

In order to assess the level of 

satisfaction with services received by 

NCTSN centers, caregivers participating 

in the descriptive and clinical outcomes 

study are also given the opportunity to 

report satisfaction using the Youth 

Services Survey for Families (YSS–F) 

instrument. Caregivers complete this 

survey, via mail or phone, once upon 

completion of services, or after six 

months of services, whichever comes 

first. The survey assesses perceptions of 

service across five domains: access, 

participation in treatment, cultural 

sensitivity, satisfaction, and outcomes. 

Approximately 2,500 caregivers will 

participate in the consumer satisfaction 

study. This study utilizes a single 

instrument, the YSS–F. 

Adoption of Methods and Practices 

This study is designed to evaluate the 

extent to which trauma-related 

practices, knowledge, methods, and 

products, particularly products created 

or disseminated by the NCTSN, are 

being adopted by Network centers and 

non-Network partners, and involves 

data collection using two distinct 

instruments. The General Adoption and 

Assessment Survey (GAAS) is used to 

ascertain the degree to which the 

various products and practices 

developed by network members are 

being adopted by each of the grantee 

sites. Question areas include the 

experience and role of the respondent; 

which products are being adopted; the 

stage of adoption process; the fidelity of 

the adoption implementation; the 

methods employed to bring the product 

into use; the facilitators of the adoption 

process; and the barriers to adoption. 

The GAAS will be administered to 

approximately 14,040 service providers, 

44 project directors, and 44 researchers/ 

evaluators once per year throughout the 

course of the evaluation. The Adoption 

and Implementation Factors Interview 

(AIFI) is a follow-up interview on 

product adoption that will be conducted 

with 150 network providers, 45 project 

directors/principal investigators, and 30 

researchers/evaluators. The AIFI obtains 

information leading to an assessment of 

successful adoption and 

implementation processes and an 

understanding of the characteristics of 

the centers that result in adoption of 

network supported methods and 

practices. This study utilizes two 

instruments, the GAAS and the AIFI. 

Three versions of the GAAS will be 

utilized: The General Adoption 

Assessment Survey (GAAS) Providers, 

the General Adoption Assessment 

Survey (GAAS) Administrators, and the 

General Adoption Assessment Survey 

(GAAS) Evaluators. Three versions of 

the AIFI will be administered: Adoption 

and Implementation Factors Interview 

(AIFI) Provider Assessment & Clinical 

Components, Adoption and 

Implementation Factors Interview (AIFI) 

Administrator Assessment & Clinical 

Components, and the Adoption and 

Implementation Factors Interview 

(AIFI). 

Network Collaboration 

The network collaboration study also 

utilizes two separate data collection 

activities. The Network Survey utilizes 

network analysis techniques to measure 

the extent to which each NCTSN center 

interacts with every other center on 

selected key Network activities 

(governance/decision-making, 

information sharing, coordination of 

activities, product development, 

product dissemination and adoption, 

and training and technical assistance). 

The survey is administered to 84 current 

or former project directors/principal 

investigators, and to 44 other current 

NCTSN staff members. The Child 

Trauma Partnership Tool assesses the 

activities and impact of the NCTSN 

collaboration structures (Work Groups, 

Committees, Consortia) in terms of 

membership activities, vision, 

formalization, leadership, management, 

communication, decision-making, 

resource allocation, understanding/ 

valuing, and accomplishments. It is 

administered approximately 200 

NCTSN staff members who make up the 

formal Network workgroups. The two 

surveys associated with this data 

collection, the Network Survey and the 

Child Trauma Partnership Tool, will be 

administered in alternating years of the 

evaluation. 

Provider Knowledge and Use of Traumainformed Services 

This study assesses the extent to 

which funded Network centers enhance 

the trauma-informed service knowledge 

base and use among service providers 

affiliated with the Network through 

training and outreach activities. The 

Provider Trauma-informed Services 

(TIS) Survey, which collects data on 

respondent characteristics, knowledge 

acquisition, predicted knowledge 

utilization, and overall training 

satisfaction, is administered to 

providers following Network centersponsored training events. TIS Survey 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 52 / Thursday, March 19, 2009 / Notices 11743 

data will be collected from 

approximately 29,250 providers over the 

next three years of the evaluation. In 

addition, center trainers complete one 

TIS Training Summary Form, 

summarizing the content of the training, 

for every training event (approximately 

1,463 over the next three years). This 

study utilizes two instruments, the TIS 

Survey and the TIS Training Summary 

Form. 

Product Development and 

Dissemination 

This study identifies and describes 

the products developed and 

disseminated to Network and nonNetwork partners. Three methods of 

data collection are used in this study: 

The Product/Innovation Development 

and Dissemination Survey (PDDS), 

telephone interviews with existing 

NCTSN collaborative workgroup/ 

taskforce coordinators (chairpersons), 

and case studies. The PDDS is included 

and completed as part of centers’ 

quarterly progress reports, and is 

gathered quarterly from 44 project 

directors/principal investigators. More 

detailed information on product 

development and dissemination will be 

collected as a part of 10 case studies (5 

in each alternating year) to be 

conducted in the next three years of the 

evaluation (with 10 caregivers, 20 

researchers/evaluators from the 

network, and 20 non-network product 

developers). These case studies each 

focus on the development and 

dissemination of specific Network 

products/innovations, and include as 

respondents key informants who are 

knowledgeable about the development 

and dissemination of each of these 

products. In addition, interviews will be 

conducted with approximately 15 

workgroup leaders. The workgroup/ 

taskforce coordinator telephone 

interviews examine the role and impact 

of the Network’s collaborative 

workgroups in the development and 

dissemination of products and 

innovations, and occur in alternating 

years, opposite the case studies. This 

study utilizes the three instruments 

discussed above: The PDDS, the case 

study interview guide, and the 

workgroup/taskforce coordinator 

interview guide. 

National Impact 

This study examines the extent to 

which the existence of the NCTSN has 

impacted trauma-informed services 

information, knowledge, policy, and 

practices among mental health and nonmental health child-serving agencies 

external to the Network. The National 

Impact Survey collects data about these 

agencies’ knowledge and awareness of 

childhood trauma and practices, about 

their knowledge and connections to the 

NCTSN centers, and about their 

policies, practices, and programs 

targeted to children and adolescents 

who have been exposed to traumatic 

experiences. The survey is administered 

to 1,600 mental health and 1,600 nonmental health service providers from 

outside the NCTSN. These mental 

health agency and non-mental health 

agency data will be collected in 

alternating years over the course of the 

evaluation. This study includes a single 

instrument, the National Impact Survey. 

This revision to the currently 

approved information collection 

activities includes the extension of 

Cross-site Evaluation information 

collection activities for an additional 

three years beyond the initial three-year 

approval period. This revision also 

addresses the following programmatic 

changes: 

• The Trauma-informed Services 

Survey was shortened to reduce burden 

in response to NCTSN center feedback, 

removing four pages from the original 

11 page survey. The dropped items 

focused primarily on the overall content 

of the training, including types of 

trauma addressed in the training and 

specific topics covered in the training. 

• The Product Development and 

Dissemination Survey data is now 

gathered from an existing quarterly 

report rather than from a stand-alone 

instrument, 

• GAAS provider respondents are 

now recruited from the pool of TIS 

Survey respondents who indicate a 

willingness to participate in future 

surveys. In the past, these respondents 

were recruited using a stand-alone 

invitation distributed at training events.

(the Stafford Act), as follows: 

I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the State of Illinois resulting 

from a severe winter storm during the period 

of January 26–28, 2009, is of sufficient 

severity and magnitude to warrant a major 

disaster declaration under the Robert T.

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds 

available for these purposes such amounts as 

you find necessary for Federal disaster 

assistance and administrative expenses. 

You are authorized to provide Public 

Assistance in the designated areas, Hazard 

Mitigation throughout the State, and any 

other forms of assistance under the Stafford 

Act that you deem appropriate. Consistent 

with the requirement that Federal assistance 

is supplemental, any Federal funds provided 

under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance 

and Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75 

percent of the total eligible costs. If Other 

Needs Assistance under Section 408 of the 

Stafford Act is later requested and warranted, 

Federal funding under that program will also 

be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible 

costs. 

Further, you are authorized to make 

changes to this declaration to the extent 

allowable under the Stafford Act. 

The Federal Emergency Management 

Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice that
