OMB No.: 0906–xxxx—New.
Abstract: In September 2017, HRSA
launched a multi-part effort to increase
the workforce capacity of the U.S.
health care system to prevent and treat
the opioid crisis. As a part of this effort,
HRSA developed or expanded activities
under five programs to help combat the
crisis: (1) The National Health Service
Corps (NHSC) Loan Repayment Program
offers loan repayment to providers
focused on Substance Use Disorder
treatment (NHSC SUD Workforce LRP),
(2) the National Health Service Corps
Rural Communities Loan Repayment

Program (NHSC Rural Communities
LRP), (3) the Opioid Workforce
Expansion Program (OWEP), (4) the
Behavioral Health Workforce Education
and Training Program (BHWET), and (5)
the Graduate Psychology Education
(GPE) Program. These programs provide
either loan repayment to providers
(NHSC SUD Workforce LRP, NHSC
Rural Communities LRP) or funding for
training programs for behavioral health
professionals and paraprofessionals to
increase integrated behavioral health
into primary care treatment and
interprofessional team-based care to
high-need areas (OWEP, BHWET, GPE).
The purpose of the planned
evaluation is to assess these five
programs with respect to their stated
goals of increasing access to the number
of clinicians delivering evidence-based
SUD treatment, enhancing education
and training in substance use
prevention and treatment for current
and future health care professionals and
paraprofessionals in rural and
underserved communities, and
integrating behavioral health into
primary care to improve the capacity of
the health care delivery system to
provide SUD prevention and treatment
services.
The evaluation will include data
collection through web-based surveys to
trainees, recipients of loan repayments,
grantee organizations, and training sites
participating in BHW’s SUD prevention
and treatment programs. At the trainee/
participant level, questions will focus
on educational and professional
background, motivation and incentives
to join or leave the program, training
experiences, perceived readiness to
deliver SUD treatment services (where
applicable), capacity to engage in
prevention strategies, and postgraduation employment (where
applicable). At the recipient grantee
organization level (note: This level is not
relevant to the NHSC programs),
questions will focus on recruitment and
retention of students, how their SUD
prevention and treatment training
program curriculum was developed, as
applicable, collaboration with SUD
prevention and treatment training sites,
plans for sustainability of SUD
prevention and treatment activities, as
well as any other benefits that resulted
from the program. At the site level,
questions will focus on SUD prevention
and treatment training such as
addressing motivation for the site to
participate, whether and what type of
integrated care delivery is available, and
other organizational factors of the site.
At all three levels, and for all programs,
we will collect survey SUD prevention
and treatment training data on

satisfaction with the program and
recommendations for improving it.
In total, six survey instruments will
be used in this evaluation: (1) NHSC
SUD Workforce Loan Repayment
Program/NHSC Rural Communities
Loan Repayment Program/NHSC Loan
Repayment Program—Participant
Survey, (2) NHSC Loan Repayment
Program—Site Survey, (3) Grantee
Training and Educational Programs—
Trainee Survey, (4) Grantee Training
and Educational Programs—Alumni
Survey, (5) Grantee Training and
Educational Programs—Site Survey, and
(6) Grantee Training and Educational
Programs—Grantee Organization
Survey. As part of a comprehensive
questionnaire design process, questions
will be limited and refined to collect
information not available through
secondary sources. Any data collected
will not be duplicative of that collected
under progress reports or other BHW
grant monitoring. NHSC site and
participant survey questions will be
drawn from prior NHSC Satisfaction
Surveys, which were fielded in 2017
and 2018 but were discontinued. Skip
patterns will allow respondents to
answer only relevant questions for each
of their programs. Participation in all
surveys is voluntary, and all surveys
will be fielded annually for three years
beginning in 2020 and concluding in
2022 to include each annual cohort of
trainees and participants. Each trainee,
participant, or site will complete their
respective surveys one time.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The purpose of this effort
is to evaluate BHW’s SUD prevention
and treatment expansion program
investments with respect to the
following objectives:
• Objective 1: What is the impact of
the NHSC SUD Workforce LRP and the
NHSC Rural Communities LRP on the
provision of SUD, services in
underserved areas compared to those
who participate in the non-SUD NHSC
LRP?
• Objective 2: How are the activities
in the BHWET, GPE, and OWEP
programs contributing to the expansion
of service delivery for SUD prevention
and treatment, at the individual,
educational, and service-delivery
system level?
• Objective 3: To what extent are the
BHW’s programs successful at
increasing access to treatment for SUD,
including opioid treatment services?
The survey data will be critical to
understanding the factors related to the
success of current BHW programs, and
assist in the development of future
programs and ongoing SUD prevention

and treatment workforce policy
development.
Likely Respondents: Data will be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ACIM
was established in 1991 and advises the
Secretary of HHS on Department
activities and programs directed at
reducing infant mortality and improving
the health status of pregnant women
and infants. The ACIM represents a
public-private partnership at the highest
level to provide guidance and focus
attention on the policies and resources
required to address the reduction of
infant mortality and the improvement of
the health status of pregnant women
and infants. Women who experience
conditions such as hypertension,
malnutrition, substance use disorder,
and/or diabetes during pregnancy are at
an elevated risk of delivering a baby
who is low birth weight or premature.
These are two of the leading causes of
infant mortality. The ACIM provides
advice on how best to coordinate a
myriad of federal, state, local, and
private programs and efforts that are
designed to deal with the health and
social problems affecting infant
mortality and maternal health including
