Goal of the study:
The purpose of this
information collection is to refine an AAP project for training
pediatric residents to identify, refer and care for children with
prenatal exposure to alcohol or a fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.
Intended use of the
resulting data:
Customer satisfaction information will be used to elicit feedback
of training materials and the overall program. The
purpose and use of the session satisfaction data will be to assure
that specific information is conveyed and understood by
participants for as well as ongoing improvement and refinement of
materials, trainings and the overall program.
Methods to be used to
collect: Survey
data will be collected through paper-and-pencil surveys for
in-person training of attending physicians and by secure email for
resident trainees.
The
subpopulation to be studied: The target population is attending
pediatricians who oversee medical resident training and first year
pediatric residents.
How data will be
analyzed:
Quantitative and qualitive descriptive analyses are planned for the
data.

A. Justification
A.1. Circumstances Making the Collection of Information Necessary
This Information Collection Request is submitted the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval of 1 year. The request is submitted by National Center of Birth Defects and Developmental Disability (NCBDDD) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as authorized by Section 301 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241).
Background. Prenatal exposure to alcohol and other teratogens can have serious neurodevelopmental impact including Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs). FASD is an umbrella term that encompasses several, more specific, diagnoses. These conditions are associated with lifelong physical and neurodevelopmental abnormalities, including growth problems and prenatal brain damage. This brain damage may lead to developmental, behavioral and neurocognitive impairments. (Stratton, et. al, 1996; Turchi, et al., 2018). Infants with a FASD are rarely recognized at birth by hospital staff. Further, at later ages, these children may be overlooked or misdiagnosed (Chasnoff, et al., 2015). While there is no cure for FASDs, early identification and intervention can mitigate adverse effects (Streissguth, et al., 2004).
In Bright Futures, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggest routinely obtaining prenatal alcohol exposure history for all pediatric patients (Hagan, et al., 2017). The AAP also recommends developmental monitoring and screening for all patients for behavioral and neurodevelopmental issues. Pediatricians are critical in the process of early identification, referral and ongoing care of children with FASDs. Through regular well-child appointments, addressing parental concerns and managing a family’s pediatric medical home pediatricians are in a key position to obtain (and document) prenatal exposure history to alcohol and other drugs. Relatedly, their role in monitoring development enables them to identify issues early that in turn facilitates timely treatment, especially early intervention. It is important for pediatricians to learn these skills early in their clinical training to make them routine throughout their clinical practice careers.
To facilitate and strengthen pediatricians’ role, with CDC funding, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is piloting a program to provide first year pediatric resident trainees with strategies, tools and resources necessary for: 1) obtaining prenatal history of exposure to alcohol and other drugs for all their patients, 2) recognizing clinical manifestation of FASDs in pediatric primary care settings to expedite diagnostic evaluation referrals, and 3) caring for affected children and their families in the pediatric medical home.
The project will be conducted in two phases. Phase one is a one-day, in-person, train-the-trainers session for attending physicians who oversee resident training in developmental continuity clinics. Training will be provided by experts in identification, diagnosis and care of children with FASDs. For phase two, the trainer attending physicians will implement a curriculum of continuing medical education activities with their residents. The curriculum contains both required and option activities that residents complete with support and facilitation from attending physicians. It is estimated that five clinics will participate in the project which could include up to 10 attending physicians and 15 pediatric residents. Participant clinics are selected by a brief application to the AAP. All participation is voluntary.
A.2. Purpose and Use of Information Collection
Session, activity and program satisfaction surveys will be obtained to: 1) assess larger scale feasibility of the project, 2) ensure that specific information is conveyed and understood by participants, 3) solicit feedback regarding content, format and delivery of project materials and 4) understand participants’ [attending physicians and resident trainees] experience with the program. In phase one, attending physicians will complete pre- and post-session surveys for each of four presentations plus one overall satisfaction survey for the entire training day and one overall program satisfaction survey at the end of the project (total 10 instruments). In phase 2, residents will complete a session satisfaction survey for the required activity and the overall program (total 3 instruments). In addition, residents can complete two optional activities that do not include satisfaction surveys. No private information or personally identifiable data is collected. Instruments are provide in Attachments A1-A13.
A.3. Use of Improved Information Technology and Burden Reduction
Survey data will be collected through paper-and-pencil surveys for in-person training of attending physicians and by secure email for resident trainees as well as the overall program evaluations for attending physicians.
A.4. Efforts to Identify Duplication and Use of Similar Information
There are no similar data. Currently a pediatric resident training targeting identification, referral and care of children with FASDs and their families does not exist at the AAP. Further it is a novel project and we are not aware of such a training being conducted by other organizations, so ongoing monitoring data is needed as the program develops.
A.5. Impact on Small Businesses or Other Small Entities
No small businesses will be involved in this data collection.
A.6. Consequences of Collecting the Information Less Frequently
Surveys of each learning component are needed are needed since each session or activity targets a specific relevant topic. Overall program satisfaction surveys by both attending physicians and residents are needed to asses efficacy as well as improve program materials and curriculum.
A.7. Special Circumstances Relating to the Guidelines of 5 CFR 1320.5
This request fully complies with the guidelines of 5 CFR 1320.5.

Privacy Impact Assessment
Overview of the Data Collection System
An overview of the organization of the current project is helpful to understand the proposed data collection system. Key agencies involved with the project include CDC, and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). All data are securely forwarded to AAP project staff.
Electronic data are stored on password-protected servers by AAP. Data are identified by practice names rather than participant names thus contain no personally identifiable information. Pre and post training surveys are match by 2-4 digit/letter codes chosen by the respondent (e.g., initials, random digits or words). The collected information and subsequent analyses will be stored electronically for five years, at which time they will be destroyed. Access to raw data will be limited to project collaborators. CDC will receive only summarized, aggregate data in the form of evaluation reports, interim progress reports, and final project reports.
Participant and AAP membership ID numbers are obtained to grant CME credit; however, these are not linked to data in any way, thus there is no sensitive or personally identifiable data. CDC does not receive this information.

A.16. Plans for Tabulation and Publication and Project Time Schedule
The project will begin soon after OMB approval is received. Content of the attending physician training, resident trainee videos and activities are already developed and ready for presentation upon receipt of OMB approval.
Data will be summarized across respondents in all reports. For rating and categorical scales, the percent of each answer chosen compared to the total number of answers given will be reported per item. Open ended questions will be reviewed and summarized by themes. When applicable, qualitative and quantitative data will be synthesized to provide a more complete picture of the findings.
