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

Project: SAMHSA Recovery Measurement Pilot Study--NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ)
is proposing a pilot test of its Recovery Measure. As part of its
strategic initiative to support recovery from mental health and
substance use disorders, SAMHSA has been working to develop a standard
measure of recovery that can be used as part of its grantee performance
reporting activities.
This project will assess the usability and psychometric properties
of the proposed tool among a voluntary group of 2-3 SAMHSA grantees.
SAMHSA has developed a short 20-item instrument that has been designed
to capture all four of SAMHSA's proposed dimensions of recovery--
health, home, purpose, and community. This measure is comprised of
questions from the World Health Organization's Quality of Life tool
(WHO QOL 8) and SAMHSA's existing set of Government Performance and
Results Act (GPRA) measures. Data will be collected at two time
points--at client intake and at six-months post-intake. These are two
points in time during which SAMHSA grantees routinely collect data on
the individuals participating in their programs.
Approval of these items by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) will allow SAMHSA to further refine the Recovery Measure
developed for this project. It will also help determine whether the
Recovery Measure is added to SAMHSA's set of required performance
measurement tools designed to aid in tracking recovery among clients
receiving services from the Agency's funded programs.
Based on current funding and planned fiscal year 2014 notice of
funding announcements the following SAMHSA grantee programs will be
selected to participate in this pilot study: Behavioral Health
Treatment Court Collaborative (BHTCC); Cooperative Agreements to
Benefit Homeless Individuals (CABHI); and the Primary and Behavioral
Health Care Integration (PBHCI). Data collected will be used by
individuals at three different levels: The SAMHSA administrator and
staff, the Center administrators and government project officers, and
grantees.
The total estimated respondent burden is 60 hours for the period
from September 2014 through March 2015. Table 1 below indicates the
annualized respondent burden estimate.
