Proposed Projects 

Title: Cross-Site Evaluation of the 

Infant Adoption Awareness Training 

Program for Projects Initially Funded in 

Fiscal Year 2006. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF), Children’s 

Bureau (CB), will conduct the Cross-Site 

Evaluation of the Infant Adoption 

Awareness Training Program (IAATP). 

Title XII, Subtitle A, of the Children’s 

Health Act of 2000 (CHA) authorizes the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services to make Infant Adoption 

Awareness Training grants available to 

national, regional, and local adoption 

organizations for the purposes of 

developing and implementing programs 

that train the staff of public and nonprofit private health service 

organizations to provide adoption 

information and referrals to pregnant 

women on an equal basis with all other 

courses of action included in nondirective counseling of pregnant 

women. Participants in the training 

include individuals who provide 

pregnancy or adoption information and 

those who will provide such services 

after receiving the training, with Title X 

(relating to voluntary family planning 

projects), Section 330 (relating to 

community health centers, migrant 

health centers, and centers serving 

homeless individuals and residents of 

public housing), and CHA-funded 

school-based health centers, receiving 

priority to receive the training. A total 

of six organizations were awarded 

IAATP funding in 2006. 

Section 1201(a)(2)(A) of the IAATP 

legislation requires grantees to develop 

and deliver trainings that are consistent 

with the Best Practice Guidelines for 

Infant Adoption Awareness Training. 

The IAATP guidelines address training 

goals, basic skills, curriculum and 

training structure. A complete 

description of the guidelines is available 

at http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/ 

programslfund/discretionary/ 

iaatp.htm. In addition, grantees are 

required to conduct local evaluation of 

program outcomes and participate in the 

national evaluation of the extent to 

which IAATP training objectives are 

met. The Infant Adoption Awareness 

Training Program: Trainee Survey is the 

primary data collection instrument for 

the national cross-site evaluation. 

Respondents will complete the survey 

prior to receiving training and 

approximately 90 days after the training 

to assess the extent to which trainees 

demonstrate sustained gains in their 

knowledge about adoption, and to 

determine the impact of the training on 

their subsequent work with pregnant 

women. 

Data collected through the proposed 

survey will enable ACF to objectively 

assess the knowledge and skills gained, 

retained, and applied by trainees as a 

result of their participation in the Infant 

Adoption Awareness Training Program, 

and will answer the following research 

questions: 

1. Do health care workers who 

participate in the IAATP training: 

• Demonstrate enhanced knowledge, 

attitudes, skills, and behaviors with 

respect to adoption counseling 

following completion of the program? 

• Provide adoption information to 

pregnant women on an equal basis with 

other pregnancy planning options? 

• Demonstrate enhanced awareness of 

community adoption-related resources 

and refer expectant mothers to them as 

needed? 

2. Are trainees more confident about 

discussing all three pregnancy planning 

options (parenting, abortion, and 

adoption) in a non-directive counseling 

style than they were prior to 

participating in the training? 

Cross-site evaluation data will be 

collected on an annual basis throughout 

the five-year funding period. Pre-test 

and follow-up versions of the survey are 

expected to require approximately 10 to 

15 minutes to complete. Estimated 

response time for the follow-up survey 

includes time for respondents to access 

the web-based survey, complete the 

survey online, and electronically submit 

the survey. Respondents will not need 

to implement a recordkeeping system or 

compile source data in order to 

complete the survey. Where possible, 

fields in the follow-up version of the 

survey will be pre-filled with static data 

from the respondent’s pre-test (e.g., 

demographics, agency type) in order to 

further expedite completion of the 

survey and minimize respondent 

burden. 

Respondents: Infant Adoption 

Awareness Program Trainees.

Title: Statewide Automated Child 

Welfare Information System (SACWIS) 

Assessment Review Guide (SARGE). 

OMB No.: 0970–0159. 

Description: The Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) 

cannot fulfill its obligation to effectively 

serve the nation’s adoption and foster 

care populations, nor report meaningful 

and reliable information to Congress 

about the extent of problems facing 

these children or the effectiveness of 

assistance provided to this population, 

without access to timely and accurate 

information. Currently, SACWIS 

support State efforts to meet the 

following Federal reporting 

requirements: The Adoption and Foster 

Care Analysis and Reporting System 

(AFCARS) required by section 479(b)(2) 

of the Social Security Act; the National 

Child Abuse and Neglect Data System 

(NCANDS); Child Abuse Prevention and 

Treatment Act (CAPTA); and the Chafee 

Independent Living Program. These 

systems also support State efforts to 

provide the information to conduct the 

Child and Family Service Reviews. 

Currently, 42 States and the District of 

Columbia have developed, or are 

developing, a SACWIS with Federal 

financial participation. The purpose of 

these reviews is to ensure that all 

aspects of the project, as described in 

the approved Advance Planning 

Document, have been adequately 

completed, and conform to applicable 

regulations and policies. 

To initiate a review, States will 

submit the completed SACWIS 

Assessment Review Guide (SARGE) and 

other documentation at the point that 

they have completed system 

development and the system is 

operational statewide. The additional 

documents submitted as part of this 

process should all be readily available 

to the State as a result of good project 

management practices. 

The information collected in the 

SACWIS Assessment Review Guide will 

allow State and Federal officials to 

determine if the State’s SACWIS meets 

the requirements of title IV–E Federal 

Financial Participation (FFP) defined at 

45 CFR 1355.50. Additionally, other 

States will be able to use the 

documentation provided as part of this 

review process in their own system 

development efforts. 

Respondents: State Title IV–E 

Agencies.
