consistency in operationally defining
AAT and its implementation, and the
poor to absent research methodology.
The present research study will focus
on the following questions.
1. Among assistance dog providers
sampled in the U.S., how many provide
services to Veterans?
2. Among assistance dog providers
that provide services to Veterans, what
are the specific strategies used or
services offered to address issues related
to Veterans and, specifically, return to
work?
3. From the perspective of assistance
dog providers, have the services or the
requests for services to assist Veterans
return to work increased, decreased, or
remained the same during the past 5
years.

businesses or non-profit organizations,
it is estimated that approximately 300 or
30% of the organizations contacted will
complete the survey.
Results of this survey will lead to
recommendations and guidance for
assistance dog providers, healthcare
professionals, researchers, and
policymakers pertaining to animalassisted interventions to help facilitate
the reintegration and reemployment of
Veterans. This survey is part of a larger
project that will identify priorities and
new opportunities for research, as well
as address policy implications
associated with public access rights
afforded to service dogs by the
Americans with Disabilities Act. There
are no costs to respondents other than
their time.

The purpose of the study is to
increase available information about
services provided to Veterans by
assistance dog training organizations.
Thus, the approach used in this study
is descriptive. The survey will be
primarily administered in a web-based
format, but it will also be administered
by mail or telephone for organizations
unable to complete the web-based
survey.
The information and the Internet link
to the web-based survey will be sent by
email to approximately 1000
organizations. This number of
organizations is estimated on the basis
of a partially completed Google search
that already identified hundreds of
assistance animal providers. On the
basis of similar surveys of small

Proposed Project
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
Regional Training Centers—New—
National Center on Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This program will collect program
evaluation data from participants of
trainings for medical and allied health
students and practitioners regarding
fetal alcohol spectrum disorders
(FASDs) conducted by the FASD
Regional Training Centers (RTCs)

through a cooperative agreement with
the CDC.
Prenatal exposure to alcohol is a
leading preventable cause of birth
defects and developmental disabilities.
The term fetal alcohol spectrum
disorders (FASDs) describes the full
continuum of effects that can occur in
an individual exposed to alcohol in
utero. These effects include physical,
mental, behavioral, and learning
disabilities. All of these effects have
lifelong implications.
Health care professionals play a
crucial role in identifying women at risk
for an alcohol-exposed pregnancy and
in identifying effects of prenatal alcohol
exposure in individuals. However,
despite the data regarding alcohol
consumption among women of
childbearing age and the estimated
prevalence of FASDs, screening for
alcohol use among female patients of
childbearing age and screening for
FASDs are not yet common standards of
care. In addition, it is known from
surveys of multiple provider types that
although they might be familiar with the
teratology and clinical presentation of
FASDs, they report feeling less prepared
to identify for referral or to diagnose a
child and even less prepared to manage
and coordinate the treatment of children
with FASDs. Similarly, among
obstetrician-gynecologists, although
almost all report asking their patients

about alcohol use during pregnancy, few
use a proper screening tool for alcohol
assessment.
There is a need for the training of
medical and allied health students and
practitioners in the prevention,
management, and identification of
FASDs, hence the recommendations
that have been put forward in this area.
As part of the fiscal year 2002
appropriations funding legislation, the
U.S. Congress mandated that the CDC,
acting through the NCBDDD Fetal
Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) Prevention
Team and in coordination with the
National Task Force on Fetal Alcohol
Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Effect
(NTFFAS/FAE), other federally funded
FAS programs, and appropriate
nongovernmental organizations (NGOs),
would (1) develop guidelines for the
diagnosis of FAS and other negative
birth outcomes resulting from prenatal
exposure to alcohol; (2) incorporate
these guidelines into curricula for
medical and allied health students and

practitioners, and seek to have them
fully recognized by professional
organizations and accrediting boards;
and (3) disseminate curricula to and
provide training for medical and allied
health students and practitioners
regarding these guidelines. As part of
CDC’s response to this mandate, a total
of seven FASD RTCs have been
established since 2002 to train medical
and allied health students and
professionals regarding the prevention,
identification, and treatment of FAS and
related disorders, now known
collectively as FASDs. The FASD RTCs
have developed and implemented
ongoing FASD training programs and
courses throughout their regions
reaching medical and allied health
professionals and students. Trainings
are delivered in academic settings
(medical and allied health schools) and
via continuing education events for
practicing medical and allied health
professionals. Training delivery varies
by RTC depending on the target

audience and setting. Examples include
grand round presentations, a five-week
online course for practicing social work,
nursing, and substance abuse
professionals, a two-hour face-to-face
training for nursing and social work
students, and a train-the-trainer model
with 1- to 5-day trainings for trainers
who then deliver at least two trainings
per year to students and professionals.
CDC requests OMB approval to collect
program evaluation information from
training participants over a three-year
period. Training participants will be
completing program evaluation forms to
provide information on whether the
training met the educational goals. The
information will be used to improve
future trainings.
It is estimated that 15,640 participants
will be trained each year, for a total
estimated burden of 5,316 hours (2,658
hours annually). There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
