SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Marine Corps Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) Surveys; OMB Control Number 0712-ASIS.
Needs and Uses: Data collection is necessary to determine the effectiveness of the LivingWorks' Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) used by the Marine Corps as part of its suicide prevention program and to assess whether it is an efficient use of the Marine Corps' resources. ASIST is widely used throughout the Marine Corps. Many chaplains have been trained to teach the class, and participants can be at the unit, command, or even family service center level. However, it currently is offered on an ad hoc basis-it is not a program of record, commands are not required to use it, and it is not conducted at regular or standardized training intervals within a standardized Training Effectiveness Evaluation Plan.
The ASIST basic course is a two-day in person workshop that teaches participants to recognize someone at-risk of suicide and then provide a skilled intervention and develop a safe plan with the at-risk individual. The efficiency and effectiveness of the ASIST program for the Marine Corps has never been evaluated. To assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the ASIST program for the Marine Corps, the Marine Corps has contracted CNA to gather data from current and past course participants. Questions in the ASIST Basic survey ask participants about expected outcomes of the ASIST course: knowledge, attitudes, and confidence in suicide intervention. ASIST participants that choose to become ASIST trainers attend ASIST Training for Trainers (T4T). T4T is a five-day in-person training that prepares participants to become ASIST trainers by teaching them skills to conduct the ASIST 2-day workshop. Questions in the ASIST T4Tsurvey ask questions about the sufficiency of the T4T course and the ability of trainers to adapt the course to the Marine Corps population. At the completion of the study, CNA will provide a report to the Chaplain of the Marine Corps detailing findings from the surveys and interviews. Only aggregate data will be reported. We expect that ASIST course participants will respond to the survey to be active participants in shaping future Marine Corps programming.
