BILLING CODE 6210–01–S 

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Administration for Children and 

Families 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Title: Cross-Site Evaluation of the 

Infant Adoption Awareness Training 

Program for Projects Initially Funded in 

Fiscal Year 2006-NEW. 

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 Childrens 

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/ 

programs_fund/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. 

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 respondents 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.
