Proposed Information Collection Activity; National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center Evaluation Package
The Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is requesting an extension of approval...
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description:
OTIP's NHTTAC delivers training and technical assistance (T/TA) to inform and deliver a public health response to trafficking. In applying a public health approach, NHTTAC builds the capacity of professionals, organizations, and communities to identify and respond to the complex needs of all individuals who have experienced trafficking or who have increased risk for trafficking and address the root causes that put individuals, families, and communities at risk of trafficking. These efforts ultimately help improve the availability and delivery of coordinated and trauma-informed services before, during, and after an individual's trafficking exploitation.
NHTTAC provides a variety of services, programs, and facilitated T/TA sessions to improve service provision to people who have experienced trafficking or who have increased risk factors for trafficking, including the Stop, Observe, Ask, and Respond (SOAR) to Health and Wellness training; specialized T/TA; NHTTAC Customer Support; and information through resources and materials about trafficking. This information collection is intended to collect feedback from participants to assess T/TA provided by NHTTAC. Revisions have been made in order to reduce respondent burden where applicable. Additionally, since this collection was last renewed, the SOAR Demonstration Grant Program went into effect. The program's goal is to fund the implementation of SOAR trainings and related capacity building efforts to identify, treat, and respond to clients who have experienced human trafficking in healthcare settings. Feedback from SOAR Demonstration Grant Program recipients who participate in NHTTAC SOAR offerings is obtained through instruments approved within this NHTTAC Evaluation Package (0970-0519). Burden estimates have been adjusted to account for these SOAR Demonstration Grant Program participants where applicable.
Respondents:
NHTTAC T/TA participants include OTIP grant recipients, including SOAR Demonstration Grant program recipients, individuals with lived experience, professionals who interact with and provide services to individuals who have experienced trafficking or are at risk of trafficking, including healthcare, behavioral health, public health, and human service practitioners, organizations, and communities.
