POST-TRAINING EVALUATION SURVEY



Thank you for your interest in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). We would like to invite you to complete a pre-training evaluation survey. We appreciate your willingness to help us evaluate the effectiveness of the training and its impact on your practice as you address the prevention, identification, and treatment of FASD.


This survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Your responses will be kept secure and no individually identifying information will be included. Risks to participating in this survey are minimal and include the risk of your information becoming known to individuals outside the AAP. This project is being conducted with support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CoAg# OT18-1802). We plan to share findings with CDC in de-identified, aggregate form.



Your participation in this survey is voluntary. You may decline to answer any question and you have the right to stop the survey at any time.


Please submit questions to the project partners at [email protected].

The public reporting burden of this collection of information is estimated to average 10 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
