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

Module-Specific Transfer Potential and Perceived Competency Items

Thank you for considering participation in this survey, a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ evaluation of the Prenatal Alcohol and Other Drug Exposures: A Child Welfare Practice Toolkit. The purpose of the following questions is to understand the extent to which users of this module of the toolkit might go on to apply their newly acquired knowledge and skills to their work. This information helps us to understand whether any changes need to be made to the content of this module 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 2 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.

Your survey responses will be stored in a password-protected electronic database. Only evaluation team members 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.
