Prenatal Alcohol and Other Drug Exposures: A Child Welfare Practice Toolkit

Reactions to the Toolkit

Thank you for considering participation in this survey, a component of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ evaluation of the Prenatal Alcohol and Other Drug Exposures: A Child Welfare Practice Toolkit. This survey is an opportunity for the evaluation team to understand how agency staff feel about the potential usefulness of the toolkit. This information helps us to understand whether any changes need to be made to the toolkit content in the future to improve its usefulness to child welfare professionals such as yourself.

We realize how limited your time is; the survey should take approximately 3 minutes to complete. Your participation in the survey is voluntary. You may decline to answer any question you do not wish to answer, and you may exit the survey at any time. There are no risks involved in participating in the survey. While you will not receive any direct benefits from participating in this survey, your responses will help us learn more about the usefulness of the toolkit for professionals such as yourself.

Your survey responses will be stored in a password-protected electronic database. Only evaluation team members from the contract staff of JBA and ICF will be able to access survey data. Your name or any other personally identifying information will not appear in any report. Be assured that your individual responses will not be shared with your colleagues, supervisors, leadership, or any other staff of your agency. Your survey responses will remain private to the full extent permitted by law. 

If you have questions or concerns about the survey or the evaluation, you may contact Project Director Erin Ingoldsby at [email protected].
