SUMMARY: 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. 144, pages
44265-44266, on July 28, 2010 and allowed 60 days for public comment.
One public comment was received on the instruments outlined in the 60-
day notice. A response to this request was sent to the interested
party. 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: Online Skills Training for PCPs on Substance Abuse.
Type of Information Collection Request: New.
Need and Use of Information Collection: This research will evaluate
the effectiveness of the Online Skills Training for PCPs on Substance
Abuse, via the Web site SBIRTTraining.com, to positively impact the
knowledge, attitudes, intended behaviors and clinical skills of primary
care physicians in the U.S. who treat substance abuse patients. The
Online Skills Training for PCPs on Substance Abuse 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 primary care physicians to improve their ability to assess
and treat substance use disorders. In order to evaluate the
effectiveness of the program, information will be collected from
primary care physicians 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: Primary care physicians who treat patients who
have substance abuse.
Type of Respondents: Physicians.
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: $13,500. There
are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs, and/or Maintenance Costs to
report.
