DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 concerning opportunity for public comment on proposed
collections of information, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
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 at 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,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: SAMHSA Disaster Technical Assistance Center Training,
Webinar, Podcast, and Mobile Application Feedback Forms--New
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) is requesting approval for a 3-year data collection effort
associated with the SAMHSA Disaster Technical Assistance Center
Training, Webinar, Podcast, and Mobile Application Feedback Forms--New.
The collection includes five data collection instruments--the Training
Feedback Form, the Webinar/Podcast Feedback Form, the Mobile
Application Feedback Form, the Training Evaluation Follow-Up Interview
Guide, and the Webinar Feedback Form Follow-Up Interview Guide. All of
the proposed data collection efforts will be used to gather feedback on
several training, webinar, and podcast events provided by SAMHSA DTAC
throughout the year, as well as feedback on a SAMHSA application for
mobile devices. The information will be used to: (1) Enhance SAMHSA
DTAC training, webinar, and podcast curricula and content and enhance
these resources as feedback is gathered through this data collection
effort; and (2) enhance the SAMHSA application for mobile devices.
SAMHSA DTAC will be responsible for administering the data
collection instruments and analyzing the data. SAMHSA DTAC will use
data from the Training Feedback Form, the Webinar/Podcast Feedback
Form, the Training Follow-Up Interview Guide, and the Webinar Feedback
Form Follow-Up Interview Guide to inform current and future training,
webinar, and podcast activities and to ensure these activities
[[Page 54262]]
continue to align with state/territory/tribe and local disaster
behavioral health needs. SAMHSA will use data from the Mobile
Application Feedback Form to inform updates and enhancements to the
SAMHSA application for mobile devices. The components of the data
collection are listed and described below, and a summary table of the
number of respondents and respondent burden has also been included.
Training Feedback Form and Webinar/Podcast Feedback Form. The
Training Feedback Form and the Webinar/Podcast Feedback Form will
assess the following: Content, presentation style, and presentation
mode; relevance of the information presented; and satisfaction with the
information presented. These surveys will be administered to all
training and webinar participants immediately following each SAMHSA
DTAC training or event, and periodically to those who have viewed
podcasts. Six events or podcasts are estimated to be presented and made
available each year. For webinars, podcasts, and web-based training
events, the survey will be administered online. For those who attend
in-person training events, the survey will be administered in person
using hard copies of the survey instrument.
Mobile Application Feedback Form. The Mobile Application Feedback
Form is designed to elicit feedback on the usefulness of the SAMHSA
application for mobile devices, satisfaction with the application, and
suggestions for improvements. It will be administered as a link to a
web-based survey directly through the application to all users of the
SAMHSA application.
Training Feedback Form Follow-Up Interviews and Webinar Feedback
Form Follow-Up Interviews. The Training Feedback Form Follow-Up
Interviews and Webinar Feedback Form Follow-Up Interviews will be
conducted 1 month following participation in a SAMHSA DTAC training or
webinar, with a sample of up to 10 percent of event attendees (or five
individuals if 10 percent of participants is fewer than five). Data
will be collected during one-on-one in-depth telephone interviews. The
interviews will gather greater contextual information not available
through administration of the respective Feedback Forms. The interviews
will examine participants' experiences with the training and webinar
and will include: The level to which the event met expectations; memory
for information learned during the training and webinar; ability to
apply the information to job tasks; suggestions for enhancing SAMHSA
DTAC events; and suggestions for future training and webinar topics.
The information collected will inform the content and presentation
style of future SAMHSA DTAC trainings, webinars, and podcasts and
associated materials.
Internet-based technology will be used to collect data via web-
based surveys and for data entry and management of all proposed
instruments. A 3-year clearance is requested for this project. The
average annual respondent burden is estimated below. All proposed
instruments will be ongoing data collection efforts. Table 1 presents
the estimated annual data collection burden. These estimates reflect
the average annual number of respondents, the average annual number of
responses, the time required for each response, and the average annual
burden in hours. It is estimated that each participant will attend or
view no more than an average of two webinar or podcast events each
year; participants will be asked to complete the Training Feedback Form
or Webinar/Podcast Feedback Form for each event they attend or view.
Participants will only be asked to participate in one Training Feedback
Form Follow-Up Interview and one Webinar Feedback Form Follow-Up
Interview each year.
