Instructions to Interviewer: When to use: Approximately two months following the
administration of the Training Exit Survey following each grant-sponsored training event. The
local site evaluator will assist the cross-site evaluation team to select trainees to participate in
this interview. The questions on this survey are designed to obtain trainee feedback on: (1) the
content, topics and/or concepts of the training, (2) utilization of the training, and (3) penetration
of the skills and/or knowledge learned through the training. Administered by: Staff from the ICF
Macro International cross-site evaluation team. Completed by: A sample of trainees who are part
of a referral network and who have attended suicide prevention awareness, early identification,
or assessment trainings (e.g., awareness, QPR, LivingWorks-ASIST).
Verbal consent:

Hello, my name is [INSERT INTERVIEWER NAME, and I'm calling to talk to you about the
training that you attended on [INSERT TRAINING DATE]. Is now a good time for me to give
you more information?
IF NO: Is there a better time to call back?
IF YES: Great! As I said, my name is [INSERT INTERVIEWER NAME], and I work for
Macro International, a company that has been contracted to conduct a cross-site evaluation of
suicide prevention programs funded by SAMHSA (which stands for the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration). As part of this evaluation, we are interviewing a
sample of people who have attended a suicide prevention training. We hope to learn more about
the trainings, how you used what you learned, and the impact of the training on the communities
you serve. I'm contacting you because you were selected to participate in these interviews. If
you decide to participate, the interviews will take no more than 20 or 30 minutes, and you will
receive $20 for your time. If you are interested I will give you some more information and get
your verbal consent. Can I continue?
We are conducting up to 10 interviews with a small sample of trainees from the training you
participated in, as well as with people who have participated in other suicide prevention trainings
as part of these SAMHSA-funded programs across the nation. This is why your input is so
important.
Before I ask you whether you agree to be interviewed, there are a few more things that you
should know:
- Your answers will in no way be linked to your name and your name will never
appear in any report that summarizes the findings of the cross-site evaluation.
- You can choose to stop the interview at any time or not answer a question for
whatever reason. If you stop the interview, at your request, we will destroy the survey.
- In addition, to protect the information that you give us, we have obtained a
Certificate of Confidentiality from the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
The Certificate of Confidentiality will protect the members of the research staff from being
forced, even under a subpoena, to release any information in which you are identified.
Exceptions to the Certificate of Confidentiality are information on child abuse and neglect, or
information regarding imminent danger to yourself or others, which we will report to the
appropriate local and state agency. Additionally, DHHS may see your information if we are
audited. Finally, the certificate of confidentiality does not imply the endorsement or the
disapproval of the Department of Health and Human Services.

You will receive $20 to compensate you for your time, and we will give you the $20 whether
you finish the interview or decide to withdraw before it ends.

- I am not an expert in the subject matter, and I do not work for the people who
provided the training, so you can't hurt my feelings and there aren't any wrong answers. We're
just interested in your thoughts and opinions.
- I will be taking notes during the interview, but I would like to get your permission
to record this interview in order to make sure we have an accurate transcript of the information
you give us. If you agree to be recorded, your recording will be kept in a private file that only
Macro staff has access to and will be destroyed upon the completion of the evaluation. If you do
not wish to be recorded I will refrain from recording the interview.

/ASK ALL/
INTRO1. Hello, my name is [INSERT NAME] and I work for ICF Macro International Inc. ICF
Macro is conducting the cross-site evaluation of the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial (GLS)
State/Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention and Early Intervention Program on behalf of the

/if INTRO1=01/
CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT: The survey asks about your organization’s involvement
in your local suicide prevention network. This survey is being conducted to better understand the
early identification and referrals of youth at risk for suicide in your community. Participation is
completely voluntary and you can end the interview at any time or refuse to answer any question.
All responses will be kept completely confidential. Contact information will be entered into a
password-protected database which can only be accessed by a limited number of individuals
(selected ICF Macro staff - telephone interviewers and cross-site team members) who require
access. These individuals have signed confidentiality, data access and use agreements. Your
name will not be used in any reports, but your agency and/or organization and the information
you provide about your agency or organization may be identifiable when reporting results.

However, your input will help gain a better understanding of the systems and networks in place
to help youth identified at risk for suicide in your community. The survey will take
approximately 40 minutes and the findings will assist in informing the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) about suicide prevention activities and
network processes. This call may be monitored for quality assurance purposes.

You may contact the cross-site evaluation project director with any questions that you have about
the evaluation and/or Referral Network Survey before, during, or after you have completed the

Cross-site Evaluation of the Garrett Lee Smith Youth Suicide Prevention and
Early Intervention Program—State/Tribal Component

Referral Network Survey
/ASK ALL/
INTRO1. Hello, my name is [INSERT NAME] and I work for ICF Macro International Inc. ICF
Macro is conducting the cross-site evaluation of the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial (GLS)
State/Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention and Early Intervention Program on behalf of the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Because your
organization is involved in coordinating community suicide prevention efforts, or is responsible
for identifying and/or serving youth at risk for suicide your organization has been selected for
this survey.
01 CONTINUE
/if INTRO1=01/
CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT: The survey asks about your organization’s involvement
in your local suicide prevention network. This survey is being conducted to better understand the
early identification and referrals of youth at risk for suicide in your community. Participation is
completely voluntary and you can end the interview at any time or refuse to answer any question.
All responses will be kept completely confidential. Contact information will be entered into a
password-protected database which can only be accessed by a limited number of individuals
(selected ICF Macro staff - telephone interviewers and cross-site team members) who require
access. These individuals have signed confidentiality, data access and use agreements. Your
name will not be used in any reports, but your agency and/or organization and the information
you provide about your agency or organization may be identifiable when reporting results.

However, your input will help gain a better understanding of the systems and networks in place
to help youth identified at risk for suicide in your community. The survey will take
approximately 40 minutes and the findings will assist in informing the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) about suicide prevention activities and
network processes. This call may be monitored for quality assurance purposes.

You may contact the cross-site evaluation project director with any questions that you have about
the evaluation and/or Referral Network Survey before, during, or after you have completed the
survey.
We will provide you contact information for the project director who you may contact with any
questions that arise after your participation in this interview. If you have any concerns about your
participation in this survey or have any questions about the evaluation, please contact Chad Rodi,
Project Director, 917.407.9894.
