Who initiated this event? -- Additional Questions No Additional Questions Select all that apply Collaborating Partners Defined CTN Nodes: NIDA Clinical Trial Nodes are the Regional Research and Training Centers ( RRTCs) which are linked with five or more Community-based Treatment programs (CTPs). Currently there are 16 Nodes. SSA: Single State Agency—sometimes the director of the Single State Agency is referred to as the SSA. Community Treatment Program: Providers of alcohol and drug treatment services that are generally licensed/certified, or otherwise approved by their state. For example, The Salvation Army; New Directions Treatment Center. Counselor Association: State and National organizations that focus on issues pertinent to the addictions workforce. For example, NAADAC and/or its state affiliates; IC&RC Boards.

Select all that apply 3 **Note: Number of Participants per state must be equal or less than the total number of participants** The National Evaluation Team hopes to track what materials/products are being used in conjunction with ATTC events. We need to know how many different materials/products were used or disseminated during the event so that we can ask you to provide details about each item on the following page. NOTE: We are not asking you for the total number of materials distributed; rather, we want to know how many TYPES of materials were distributed. For example, if you used TAP 21, the ATTC Best Practices Curriculum and an issue of the ATTC Networker during the event, then you would indicate that you used three (3) types of materials. For each material, we will then ask you on the next page to choose/fill in the source of the material, and whether or not cultural adaptations were made. The intent of this information is to determine the degree to which peer-reviewed materials are being used, how much cross-Network sharing of materials is occurring, and what efforts are being made to culturally adapt materials when applicable. The number of types of materials you indicated on the previous screen determines the number of fields that display on this page. Last, but not least … Please only choose the keywords that describe the main points covered in the event. Please try to limit keywords to no more than three. For example, if you are inputting data for a clinical supervision training, then you might choose the keywords “clinical supervision” and “training and skill development”. If the training mentions HIV/AIDS, but is not really focused on that topic, please do NOT choose “HIV/AIDS” as a keyword. Want to Review your Data? SAVE YOUR DATA BY HITTING CONTINUE Questions?
