Notice of planned awards for renewal of clinical training grants under the Minority Fellowship Program (MFP) to the American Nurses Association, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).

SAMHSA plans to award renewal MFP grants to the ANA, APA, and CSWE to help facilitate the entry of ethnic minority students into mental health and/or substance abuse careers and increase the number of nurses, psychiatrists, and social workers trained to teach, administer, and provide direct mental health and substance abuse services to ethnic minority groups. The project period is anticipated to be 3 years. The first year will be funded for up to $400,000 for each award. This is not a general request for applications. The renewal clinical training grants will only be made to the ANA, APA, and the CSWE based on the receipt of satisfactory applications that are considered to have sufficient merit by an Initial Review Group and the National Advisory Council.

Network 12 hepatitis B vaccination quality improvement program: an educational program directed at physicians, staff, and patients.

Hepatitis B is easily spread via contact with infected blood. Hemodialysis patients and staff are particularly at risk for acquiring hepatitis B. Consequently, vaccination of hemodialysis patients and staff is strongly recommended. However, the vaccination rate among dialysis patients in this country remains below 50%. End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Network 12 developed a quality improvement project directed at increasing patient vaccination by regular surveys, reports, and education of physicians, staff, and patients. Seventy-seven percent of facilities in the 4-state Network participated. Overall vaccination rate increased from 66.9% to 73.2% over 18 months (P <.05). The greatest improvement was seen among units with less than 60% of patients vaccinated initially, with mean facility vaccination rate increasing from 31.2 +/- 20.5% to 57.5 +/- 30.1% in the last available data period (P <.001). Only 3 of these 29 units failed to improve. The 90 units that had 60% to 97% vaccination rates initially improved significantly from 79.8 +/- 9.6% to 82.4 +/- 15% (P =.015). Three quarters of these units showed improvement. Only units with 100% vaccination deteriorated, but still maintained vaccination rates of 74.5 +/- 25.6%. An education-based quality improvement project can improve the hepatitis B vaccination rate of hemodialysis patients.
