SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Proposed Project 

Evaluation of the Educating the 

Educator (EtE) Workshop 

AHRQ’s Educating the Educator (EtE) 

workshop training project is an Agency 

knowledge translation and 

dissemination project that aims to 

increase knowledge about and use of 

AHRQ’s EHC Program products among 

health care professionals. For the EtE 

project, AHRQ is sponsoring the 

development of an accredited, inperson, train-the-trainer workshop 

program for health care professionals to 

educate them on how to use AHRQ’s 

EHC Program materials and resources in 

shared decision making (SDM) with 

patients/caregivers. As a train-thetrainer program, the workshop also 

provides education on effectively 

training other health care professionals 

to facilitate the dissemination of the key 

competencies taught by the program. 

Additionally, as part of the EtE project, 

a collection of new stand-alone tools are 

being developed to facilitate the 

implementation and use of AHRQ EHC 

Program materials. The new tools will 

be integrated into the EtE workshop 

training program and made available to 

workshop participants. These new tools 

also will be publicly-accessible through 

the AHRQ Web site for easy referral, 

access, and use by both workshop 

participants and other health care 

professionals. 

AHRQ recognizes the importance of 

ensuring that its dissemination activities 

are useful, well implemented, and 

effective in achieving their intended 

goals. Therefore, an evaluation is 

associated with the EtE project. The EtE 

evaluation is comprised of two key 

components. One component has been 

designed to support both a processoriented formative evaluation and a 

summative (impact) evaluation of the 

EtE train-the-trainer workshop program. 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 60 / Friday, March 28, 2014 / Notices 17543 

The other component is designed to 

assess the impact of new tools 

developed through this project in 

supporting the implementation of 

AHRQ EHC Program materials. 

The specific goals of the EtE train-thetrainer workshop evaluation 

(component 1) are to examine the 

following: 

• Who is participating in both the 

primary train-the-trainer sessions, and 

in subsequent, secondary trainings 

offered by primary trainees? 

• The uptake of and confidence 

among primary trainees in training 

others on the key competencies of the 

curriculum 

• How the workshop implementation 

or course content should be modified to 

improve the quality of the training (e.g., 

instructor, materials, modules, etc.)? 

• The extent to which workshop 

participants have been able to conduct 

additional trainings, start new PCOR 

education programs based on the 

workshop curriculum, or integrate the 

workshop curriculum into existing 

training programs in their local settings 

• What the results of subsequent 

trainings by workshop participants were 

among secondary participants (i.e., 

individuals who received training from 

a workshop participant) in terms of their 

use of PCOR information and the 

practice of SDM with patients? 

• Whether workshop participants 

have participated in other project 

activities, such as ongoing webinars or 

the learning network that are planned as 

part of the EtE project 

• How workshop participants are 

using what they have learned from the 

training program in their own practice? 

The specific goals of the EtE new tools 

evaluation (component 2) are to 

examine the following: 

• If and how workshop trainees and 

other health care professionals are using 

the new tools developed during this 

project to support their implementation 

of AHRQ EHC Program resources? 

• How useful clinicians find AHRQ 

EHC Program resources to be in their 

practice? 

• How frequently new tools are being 

accessed and used by workshop trainees 

and other health care professionals? 

• Suggestions for improving tools to 

meet health care professionals’ needs 

when serving their patients? 

This study is being conducted by 

AHRQ through its contractor, AFYA, 

Inc., and The Lewin Group, pursuant to 

AHRQ’s statutory authority to support 

the agency’s dissemination of 

comparative clinical effectiveness 

research findings. 42 U.S.C. 299b–37(a)– 

(c). 

Method of Collection 

To achieve the goals of this project the 

following data collections will be 

implemented: 

(1) Pre-Training Survey of Primary 

Participants. This pen and paper survey 

will be administered to train-the-trainer 

workshop participants (also referred to 

as Primary Workshop Participants) 

immediately prior to the start of the inperson train-the-trainer workshop 

sessions. Information collected includes 

(1) non-identifying demographic 

information about respondents (e.g., 

type of clinician; practice setting); (2) 

participants knowledge of core concepts 

and objectives of the workshop; and (3) 

their confidence in training others. This 

instrument will also collect information 

about participants’ use of and exposure 

to AHRQ EHC Program products for 

comparison at later time points. 

(2) Post-Training Survey of Primary 

Participants. This pen and paper survey 

will be administered to train-the-trainer 

workshop participants immediately 

following the conclusion of the inperson train-the-trainer workshop 

sessions. Information collected includes 

(1) post-training knowledge of core 

concepts presented in workshop; and (2) 

post-training confidence in training 

others. The post-training instrument 

will also collect information about 

participants’ reaction to the training 

(e.g., instructor, the content, the 

presentation style, the schedule, etc.), a 

requirement for accreditation purposes. 

(3) Six-Month Post-Training Survey of 

Primary Participants. This survey will 

be administered to primary workshop 

participants six months following their 

participation in the train-the-trainer 

workshop. The survey will be Webenabled, and a link to the survey will be 

emailed to participants. Information to 

be collected includes (1) behaviors and 

experiences of primary workshop 

participants in training others (i.e., 

secondary participants); (2) the numbers 

of individuals they have trained; and (3) 

barriers they have encountered in 

training others. This instrument will 

also collect (4) data on primary 

participants’ early experiences in 

applying what they learned in the 

workshop training in their own clinical 

practice with patients; and (5) their use 

of AHRQ EHC resources and tools 

which will be compared to baseline 

measures. 

(4) One-Year Post-Training Survey of 

Primary Participants. This survey will 

be administered to primary workshop 

participants one year following their 

participation in the train-the-trainer 

workshop. The survey will be Webenabled, and a link to the survey will be 

emailed to participants. This survey will 

collect the same information as 

collected in the 6-month survey. This 

instrument will also collect new 

information from participants about 

their use/participation in continued 

training that will be offered (e.g., 

participating in training and technical 

assistance webinars and the learning 

network that will be created). 

(5) One-Year Post Survey of 

Secondary Workshop Participants. This 

survey will be administered to 

secondary workshop participants one 

year following their receipt of 

continuing education (CE) credits for 

participating in locally-delivered 

workshops by primary workshop 

participants. The questions of interest 

include (1) non-identifying 

demographic information about 

respondents (e.g., type of clinician; 

practice setting); (2) their use of AHRQ 

EHC program products; (3) how useful 

they thought the training they received 

was in developing their patient 

engagement and SDM skills; (4) barriers 

they have encountered when 

implementing what they learned in 

practice; (5) the types of changes they or 

their organization have made related to 

involving patients in health care 

decision making and their use of 

decision support tools, since 

participating in the workshop; and (6) 

any changes that they have observed in 

their patients since they participated in 

the training. 

(6) New Tool Users. This survey will 

be deployed on the AHRQ Web site on 

a quarterly basis. More specifically, it 

will be made available on the new tools 

Web landing page on the AHRQ Web 

site so that it targets users of the new 

tools from this project. Information to be 

collected includes (1) non-identifying 

demographic information about 

respondents (e.g., type of clinician; 

practice setting); (2) whether or not they 

have participated in the workshop 

training associated with this project; (3) 

how often respondents use tools on the 

AHRQ tools landing page; and (4) how 

useful respondents find the tools to be 

and new tools that they would like to 

see added. 

AHRQ and the EHC Program staff will 

use the information collected through 

this Information Collection Request to 

assess the short- and long-term progress 

in achieving the dissemination and 

implementation aims of the EtE project. 

The information collected will facilitate 

real-time adjustments in the strategies 

and tactics that are used to promote and 

deliver the new tools and workshop 

training. The summative evaluation will 

assess the impact of this EtE workshop 

training program and new tools on

increased awareness, understanding, 

and use of AHRQ’s EHC Program 

products in clinical practice with 

patients. 

The specific purpose and use of each 

of the data collection instruments is 

described below. 

(1) Pre- and Post-Training Surveys of 

Primary Workshop Participants—These 

data collections will be used to assess 

the effectiveness of the training in 

transferring course concepts to train-thetrainer participants. They will be used 

to measure what participants learned 

during the training relative to their 

knowledge of core concepts and 

objectives of the workshop, and their 

confidence in training others as assessed 

prior to the training (pre-training 

survey). The pre-training survey also 

will establish a baseline level regarding 

workshop participants’ use and 

exposure to AHRQ EHC Program 

products for comparison at later time 

points. The post-training assessment 

also will be used to assess workshop 

participants’ reaction to the training. 

This is important for the process 

evaluation component of this project as 

it will provide information on 

participants’ reactions to specific 

components of the program (e.g., 

instructor, the content, the presentation 

style, the schedule, etc.), a requirement 

for accreditation purposes, and help to 

identify where minor tweaking of the 

program may be needed to better meet 

participants’ needs. 

(2) Six-Month Post-Training Survey of 

Primary Participants—This data 

collection will be used to assess the 

behaviors and experiences of workshop 

participants in training others (i.e., 

secondary participants), and whether 

the training has promoted changes to 

participants’ use of PCOR resources in 

SDM with their patients. This survey 

will also be used to assess whether the 

use of AHRQ EHC Program products has 

increased since participating in the 

survey. 

(3) One-Year Post-Training Survey of 

Primary Participants—This data 

collection will be used to assess the 

long-term impact of the train-the-trainer 

workshop on participants’ use of PCOR 

resources in SDM with patients in 

clinical practice. The assessment will 

determine if the training results in or 

contributes to changes in participants’ 

continued use of key training concepts 

relative to baseline and 6-month 

assessments. This assessment also will 

provide information on the numbers of 

other individuals (i.e., secondary 

participants) who have received training 

at subsequent time points by the trainthe-trainer workshop participants and 

the impact of training those secondary 

participants on their organizational 

practices regarding using AHRQ EHC 

Program products in SDM with their 

patients. 

(4) One-Year Post Training Survey of 

Secondary Workshop Participants— 

This data collection will be used to 

assess the effectiveness of the train-thetrainer format on disseminating 

knowledge among the health care 

community. The questions of interest 

include the following: 

Æ Are participants from the train-thetrainer workshop able to effectively 

transfer or share key competencies from 

their training to other locally-based 

health care professionals (i.e., secondary 

participants)? 

Æ Do secondary participants taught by 

AHRQ-sponsored train-the-train 

workshop participants increase their use 

of AHRQ EHC Program products in 

SDM with their patients? 

(5) New Tool Survey—This data 

collection will be used to gather 

information on AHRQ Web site users 

experiences with the available new tools 

including who uses these tools and if 

they are useful. 

Estimated Annual Respondent Burden 

Exhibit 1 shows the estimated 

annualized burden hours for the 

respondents’ time to participate in this 

evaluation. For the longitudinal 

evaluation, four questionnaires will be 

completed by approximately 1,500 

primary trainees who participate in the 

AHRQ-sponsored EtE train-the-trainer 

workshop, at the specified intervals, and 

each will require 10 or 15 minutes to 

complete. The annual survey of 

secondary participants will be 

completed by 3,000 secondary trainees 

(individuals who receive training from 

primary trainees) over the 3 years. Based 

on previous experience with 

convenience-based Web-based surveys, 

we estimate that the quarterly Webbased survey of new tool users will be 

completed by approximately 1,200 

respondents over the 3-year period. 

Exhibit 2 shows the estimated 

annualized cost burden based on the 

respondents’ time to participate in this 

project. The total cost burden is 

estimated to be $91,668.

The Health Care Innovations 

Exchange provides a national-level 

information hub to foster the 

implementation and adaptation of 

innovative strategies and policies that 

improve health care quality and reduce 

disparities in the care received by 

different populations. The Innovations 

Exchange’s target audiences, broadly 

defined, are current and potential 

change agents in the U.S. health care 

system, including clinicians (e.g., 

physicians, nurses, and other 

providers), health care administrators, 

quality improvement professionals, 

researchers, educators, and 

policymakers. 

The goals of the Health Care 

Innovations Exchange are to: 

(1) Identify health care service 

delivery and policy innovations and 

provide a national level repository of 

searchable innovations and tools that 

enables health care decision makers to 

quickly identify ideas and tools that 

meet their needs. These innovations 

come from many care settings including 

inpatient facilities, outpatient facilities, 

long term care organizations, health 

plans, and community care settings. 

They also represent many patient 

populations, disease conditions, and 

processes of care such as preventive, 

acute, and chronic care. 

(2) Foster the implementation and 

adoption of health care service delivery 

and policy innovations that improve 

health care quality and reduce 

disparities in the care received by 

different populations. 

This data collection is being 

conducted by AHRQ through its 

contractor, Westat, pursuant to AHRQ’s 

statutory authority (1) to conduct and 

support research on, and disseminate 

information on, health care and on 

systems for the delivery of such care, 42 

U.S.C. 299a(a), and (2) to promote 

innovation in evidence-based health 

care practices and technologies by 

promoting education and training and 

providing technical assistance in the use 

of health care practice results, 42 U.S.C. 

299b–5(a)(4).
