DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request Web Based Training for
Pain Management Providers
Under the provisions of section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the
National Institutes of Health has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve the information
collection listed below. This proposed information collection was
previously published in the Federal Register in Vol. 75, No. 25, pages
6208-6209 on Monday, February 8, 2010 and allowed 60 days for public
comment. No public comments were received on the planned study or any
of the specific topics outlined in the 60-day notice. Five comments
were received requesting information on the educational program rather
than the study. Responses to these requests were sent to the interested
parties. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days
for public comment. 5 CFR 1320.5 (General requirements) Reporting and
Recordkeeping Requirements: Final Rule requires that the agency inform
the potential persons who are to respond to the collection of
information that such persons are not required to respond to the
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
Proposed Collection
Title: Web Based Training for Pain Management Providers.
Type of Information Collection Request: New.
Need and Use of Information Collection: This research will evaluate
the effectiveness of the Web Based Training for Pain Management
Providers, via the Web site PainAndAddictionTreatment.com, to
positively impact the knowledge, attitudes, intended behaviors and
clinical skills of health care providers in the US who treat pain. The
Web Based Training for Pain Management Providers is a new program
developed with funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The
primary goal is to assess the impact of the training program on
knowledge, attitude, intended behavior, and clinical skills. A
secondary goal is to assess learner satisfaction with the program. If
the program is a success, there will be a new, proven resource
available to health care providers to improve their ability to treat
pain and addiction co-occurring in the provider's patients. In order to
evaluate the effectives of the program, information will be collected
from health care providers before exposure to the web based materials
(pre-test), after exposure to the web based materials (post-test), and
4-6 weeks after the program has been completed (follow-up).
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Volunteer health care providers who treat patients
with pain.
Type of Respondents: Physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician
assistants.
The annual reporting burden is as follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents: 80.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 3.
Average Burden Hours per Response: 0.75.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 180.
The annualized cost to respondents is estimated at: $11,925. There
are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs, and/or Maintenance Costs to
report.
