The mission of the Center for Effective Collaboration and Practice is to identify and to exchange information regarding effective and promising practices for children and youth with emotional and behavioral problems. The Center also is engaged in identifying and promoting effective collaborations among families and professionals, so that children and youth may receive whatever services are necessary to improve their learning and adjustment.

In order to identify and exchange useful information, we at the Center are conducting a national information needs sensing survey aimed at identifying information that would be most helpful to those who serve children and youth with emotional or behavioral problems. We hope that you will take a few minutes to share your thoughts with us, as your comments will be used to identify and to disseminate information to persons with backgrounds and experiences similar to your own.

These questions were developed for teachers and administrators, service providers, mental health professionals, families, and others who serve the needs of children and youth with emotional and behavior problems and their families. Through focus groups and telephone interviews, we have, for several of the questions, identified some information needs that may be important to you. If you do not see information needs important to you, please add your ideas under "other."

In terms of the Questionnaire, we would first like some basic information about you and your school or program. Next, we ask that you answer questions about working with children and youth, families, and other professionals. Finally, please answer questions about how you would prefer to receive information.

Thank you for taking the time to participate in our national information needs sensing survey.
