Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of
proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed projects
or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the
SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collections of
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,

Proposed Project: Evaluation of Emergency Department Crisis Center
Follow-up--New
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) will conduct an
evaluation to assess the impact of crisis center follow-up with
patients admitted to emergency departments following a suicide attempt.
The overarching purpose of the proposed Evaluation of Emergency
Department Crisis Center Follow-up--New is to examine the impact of
crisis
[[Page 2683]]
center follow-up with patients admitted to emergency departments
following a suicide attempt on subsequent emergency department
readmissions. In total this evaluation effort includes two data
collection activities.
Clearance is being requested to abstract patient hospital data and
companion crisis center data to examine the impact of crisis center
follow-up on readmissions to the emergency department for suicidal
behavior. The data collected through this project will ultimately help
SAMHSA to understand and direct crisis center follow-up lifesaving
initiatives. The data collection activities are described below.
Two funded crisis centers, working in collaboration with two
hospital emergency departments, will provide follow-up services to
patients seen in the emergency department following a suicide attempt.
Patient data will be collected for patients admitted for a suicide
attempt in the two years prior to collaboration between the emergency
department and crisis center and for patients admitted for a suicide
attempt for the 2-year period after collaboration.
(1) The Hospital Data Abstraction Form will be utilized to collect
systematic patient data for patients seen in one of the two
participating hospital emergency departments. Information to be
abstracted from patient data include: Demographic data, historical
data, and subsequent suicidal behavioral and admission data. Data will
be de-identified. Hospital staff will review patient data for
qualifying (i.e., admission to the emergency department for suicide
attempt) records. Records to be reviewed will include emergency
department admissions for the two years prior to crisis center and
hospital emergency department collaboration and for two years following
collaboration. It is expected that a total of 2,000 records will be
abstracted by hospital staff and provided to the evaluation team.
(2) The Crisis Center Data Abstraction Form will be utilized to
collect systematic crisis center data for patient records for whom
hospital data were collected. Data will be de-identified and will only
contain a patient identification number to match to the patient ID
provided through hospital records.
The estimated response burden to collect this information is as
follows annualized over the requested 3-year clearance period is
presented below:
