Proposed Project

    CDC [email protected][supreg] Advance Program: Evaluation of Train-the-
Trainer and Technical Assistance Programs--New--National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is expanding 
and enhancing a comprehensive workplace health program called 
[email protected] Through the [email protected] program, CDC developed a training 
curriculum for employers based on a problem-solving approach to 
improving employer knowledge and skills related to effective, science-
based workplace health programs, and supporting the

[[Page 31377]]

adoption of these programs in the workplace. Topics covered in the 
[email protected] curriculum include principles, strategies, and tools for 
leadership engagement; how to make a business case for workplace health 
programs; how to assess the needs of organizations and individual 
employees; how to plan, implement, and evaluate sustainable workplace 
health programs; and how to partner with community organizations for 
additional support. The program also offers a Train-the-Trainer 
component to promote large-scale dissemination of the program.
    CDC's [email protected] activities support and complement the efforts of 
numerous employers, public health agencies, non-profit organizations, 
and other professional organizations that share an interest in 
increasing the number of effective, science-based workplace health 
programs across the United States. Some of these entities have 
participated directly in [email protected] to take their training and apply 
it more broadly in their communities. Other entities offer employers 
opportunities for recognition or accreditation of their workplace 
health programs based on many of the core concepts and principles 
addressed in the [email protected] training. Recognition or accreditation 
programs enhance standards of practice and are appealing to employers 
to improve their visibility and status, but typically take several 
years of program growth and development for employers to be in position 
to successfully obtain them.
    The planned Advance Program will offer advanced [email protected] 
Accreditation Preparation Technical Assistance to those employers who 
have previously received a Certificate of Completion for participating 
in the basic [email protected] training and technical assistance program. In 
addition to emphasizing the mastery of core workplace health principles 
and concepts introduced in the basic course, the expanded [email protected] 
program will offer targeted technical assistance to help employers 
prepare for the process of getting their worksite accredited by an 
external organization. The advanced technical assistance will include 
an organizational accreditation readiness assessment as well as 
assessment-driven technical assistance focused on organizational 
alignment, population health management, and data, outcomes, and 
reporting. Employers will be responsible for selecting the external 
recognition or accreditation program that best fits with their vision 
and goals.
    The Advance Program also includes an updated Train-the-Trainer 
option so that trainers are prepared to deliver the [email protected] 
curriculum to employers across the country. Participants will receive 
technical assistance and access to an online peer learning platform.
    CDC is requesting OMB approval to collect the information needed to 
implement and evaluate the [email protected] Advance Program. CDC plans to 
collect information from employers who have previously completed the 
[email protected] training and technical assistance to assess readiness for 
accreditation of their workplace health program and their need for 
additional technical assistance; to obtain trainees' reactions to the 
advanced technical assistance; and to document their experience 
applying for and receiving accreditation of their workplace health 
program. CDC also plans to collect information needed to select the 
individuals who will participate in the enhanced Train-the-Trainer 
model; and to assess changes in trainees' knowledge and skills before 
and after participation in [email protected] Train-the Trainer model. 
Graduates of the [email protected] program will be given the opportunity to 
complete an annual survey to assess their capacity to sustain their 
workplace health program after formal training participation has ended. 
All information will be collected online, with the exception of the 
annual employer survey which will be conducted by telephone.
    CDC will use the information collected to evaluate the 
effectiveness of the [email protected] Program in terms of (1) increasing 
employer's knowledge and capacity to implement workplace health 
programs and to facilitate applying for accreditation for their 
programs, and (2) increasing the number of trainers who can provide 
employers with knowledge and skills in science-based workplace health 
programs, policies, and practices. The information will also be used to 
identify the best way(s) to deliver skill-based training and technical 
support to employers in the area of workplace health and to cultivate 
peer-to-peer cooperation and mentoring.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. The target number of 
employers participating in the enhanced technical assistance program 
component is 360. The target number of participants for the train-the-
trainer program component is 300.
    Participation in [email protected] is voluntary and there are no costs to 
participants other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 450.
