DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.
Project: The Safe Schools/Healthy Students (SS/HS) Initiative National
Evaluation (OMB No. 0930-0297)--Revision
SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) will conduct a
study to evaluate the relationships between different grantee
characteristics and implementation strategies to outcomes at the
project, school, and student level. Data collected by this study will
facilitate an examination of contextual
[[Page 44341]]
factors and inform those who hope to improve the effectiveness of
partnerships and implementation efforts under the grant and lead to
improved outcomes for communities, schools, and students. The three
agencies sponsoring the SS/HS Initiative (the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services, the U.S. Department of Education, and the U.S.
Department of Justice) may also choose to incorporate aggregate results
from collected data in journal articles, scholarly presentations, and
congressional testimony referring to the outcomes of the SS/HS grant
program.
Data collection activities involve the administration of four
separate surveys (a Baseline Assessment Survey, a Project-Level Survey,
a School-Level Survey, and a Staff School Climate Survey) and a Site
Visit Protocol for individuals involved with the SS/HS Initiative at
the local grantee level. Respondents will submit their responses for
all surveys via Qualtrics, a third-party, online Web-based survey
platform, except for the Site Visit Protocol, which will be
administered on site with grantees.
The estimated burden for data collection is 5,732 hours across a
total of 28,125 participants. Using median hourly wage estimates
reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2009 National
Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates, and a loading rate of 25%,
the estimated total cost to respondents is $207,343. A breakdown of
these estimates is presented in Table 1 below.

hours per response based on previous evaluation and pilot tests.
Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed
information collection should be sent by August 24, 2011 to: SAMHSA
Desk Officer, Human Resources and Housing Branch, Office of Management
and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room 10235, Washington, DC
