Citation: Huba, G. J., Melchior, L. A., Staff of The Measurement Group, and HRSA/HAB's SPNS Cooperative Agreement Steering Committee (1995). Module 54: Trainee Reactions to Training Form. Available: www.TheMeasurementGroup.com. Culver City, California: The Measurement Group.

Answer questions by either filling in a circle, or writing a number or letter in a square box. If the answer goes in a square box, you must use a CAPITAL LETTER or number that does not touch the side of the box. Print only one letter or number in each box. If the letters or numbers that you print touch the sides of the boxes, or if you do not clearly print the information, the computer will "kick out" the form and we will need to return it to you to be completed correctly. If the question asks the answer to be filled in a circle, make sure that the circle is completely darkened. Only darken one circle for each question unless the instructions specifically tell you to darken as many as apply for that question.

NOTE: Before giving the form to the trainee, site staff should complete the information in the shaded boxes. These boxes include "ID Letters/ID Numbers," "Site," "Sub-Provider," "Training Date," "Training #," "Title of Training," "Staff Code," and "Name of Trainer." Module 54 provides space to evaluate up to four individual trainers, in the event that more than one trainer was used for this session. If more than four trainers were involved, please use a separate Module 54 Report Form to evaluate the additional trainers. If you are evaluating fewer than four trainers, leave the remaining boxes blank.

Items to be Completed by Site Staff

ID Letters/ID Numbers. These boxes are provided for entering the unique identifier your site is using to track trainee information. The four boxes on the left are to be used for letters, while the ten boxes on the right are reserved for numbers. You may use letters, numbers, or a combination of letters and numbers, for identification purposes. If you use a combination of letters and numbers, however, please use the letters first in your alphanumeric sequence (for example, if your unique identifier is MD-1479, the letters "M" and "D" would be entered in the first two of the four boxes reserved for letters and the numbers "1", "4", "7", and "9" would be entered into the first four of the ten boxes reserved for numbers). If you are unsure about a trainee’s unique identifier, check with your project director.

Site. This is a code to identify your project in the cross-cutting evaluation. It should be pre-printed on the form. If it has not been already entered on the form, check with your project to find out your site code and enter it in the boxes. Site codes are 3 letters.

Sub-Provider. If appropriate, enter the code for the service provider agency doing the activity. The provider codes are determined by your local project. Provider codes can be up to 3 letters.

Training Date. Enter the numbers representing the date of the training or presentation in these boxes. Enter the month as a number from 01 to 12 for January through December. Enter the day as a two-digit number (01 to 31). Enter the last two digits of the current year (for example, "95" for 1995). Make sure that if a month or day is less than 10, you place a "0" before the number.

Training #. Enter the three-digit code for the training session. For example, if this is the third training or presentation that your project has held, you would enter "003" in these boxes.

Title of Training. Enter the title of the training in the boxes provided. If there are not enough boxes, please use an abbreviation that will fit in the number of boxes provided.

Staff Code. Enter the code for the trainer providing this training. The staff codes are determined by your local project. If the staff code is less than 3 digits, place "0"s before the number. For example, 3 is "003."

Name of Trainer. Enter the name of the trainer in the boxes provided.
