Title of the Collection: Think Cultural Health (TCH) website Quality Improvement Effort.

Type of Collection: Reinstatement with Change.

OMB No. 0990-0407.

Abstract: The Office of Minority Health (OMH), Office of the Secretary (OS), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is requesting approval by OMB on a reinstatement with change to a previously approved data collection. The Think Cultural Health (TCH) website is an initiative of the HHS OMH's Center for Linguistic and Cultural Competence in Health Care (CLCCHC) and is a repository of resources and tools to promote cultural and linguistic competency in health and health care. The TCH website offers a suite of e-learning programs that afford health and health care professionals the ability to earn continuing education credits through training in cultural and linguistic competency. The revision to this information collection request includes revisions to the online website registration form to streamline and change response options for some elements.

Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The data will be used to ensure that the offerings on the TCH website are relevant, useful, and appropriate to their target audiences. The findings from the data collection will be of interest to HHS OMH in supporting maintenance and revisions of the offerings on the TCH website.

Likely Respondents: Likely respondents are users of the TCH e-learning program(s) and/or e-resource(s). There are no requirements for annual, quarterly or monthly responses. A single respondent completes the registration process to access an e-learning program or e-resource on the website only one time and completes a course-specific evaluation form for each e-learning program course/unit or e-resource per completion. A respondent may be invited to participate in the follow-up survey, a focus group, or a key informant interview and will not be asked to participate in more than one follow-up activity ( i.e., survey, focus group, or key informant interview).
