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 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,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: National Evaluation of the Comprehensive Community
Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families Program: Phase
VI (OMB No. 0930-0307)--Revision
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Center of Mental Health Services is responsible for the
national evaluation of the Comprehensive Community Mental Health
Services for Children and Their Families Program (Children's Mental
Health Initiative--CMHI) that will collect data on child mental health
outcomes, family life, and service system development. Data will be
collected on nine (9) service systems, and approximately 2,106 children
and families and providers/administrators, using 26 instruments. Data
collection will be decreased by 26,960 hours due to program changes
resulting from the closing of 19 communities funded in FY 2009 that no
longer require data collection and data collection for the Sector and
Comparison Study.
Data collection for this evaluation will be conducted over the next
3-year period. Child and family outcomes of interest will be collected
at intake and at 6-month follow-up. The individual families will
participate in the study for the remaining 12 months. The outcome
measures include the following: Child symptomatology and functioning,
family functioning, satisfaction, and caregiver strain. The service
system data will be collected every 6 months during the remaining 3
years of the evaluation. Service utilization and cost data will be
tracked and submitted to the national evaluation every 6 months using
two tools--the Flex Fund Tool and the Services and Costs Data Tool--to
estimate average cost of treatment per child, distribution of costs,
and allocation of costs across service categories. Service delivery and
system variables of interest include the following: Maturity of system
of care development in funded system of care communities, adherence to
the system of care program model, and client service experience.
Internet-based technology such as data entry and management tools will
be used in this evaluation. The measures of the national evaluation
address annual Congressional reporting requirements of the program's
authorizing legislation, and the national outcome measures for mental
health programs as currently established by SAMHSA.
Changes:
The previously approved Phase VI evaluation is composed of six core
study components: (1) The System of Care Assessment that documents the
development of systems of care through site visits conducted every 12-
18 months; (2) the Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study that collects
descriptive data on all children and families who enter the CMHS-funded
systems of care throughout the funding period; (3) the Child and Family
Outcome Study that collects data longitudinally on child clinical and
functional status, and family outcomes; (4) the Service Experience
Study that collects data on family experience and satisfaction with
services from a sample of children and families; (5) the Services and
Costs Study that assesses the costs and cost-effectiveness of system of
care services; and (6) the Sustainability Study, as well as and three
special studies: the Alumni Networking Study, the Continuous Quality
Improvement (CQI) Initiative Evaluation, and the Sector and Comparison
Study. Earlier revisions eliminated one of the core studies, the
Sustainability Study, and two of the special studies: the Alumni
Networking Study and the Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI)
Initiative Evaluation.
This revision requests the elimination of the Sector and Comparison
Study. The eliminated studies have provided data to the program and are
no longer needed. The Sector and Comparison Study was conducted with a
subsample of the FY 2008-funded CA awardees, which are not included in
this revision.
The average annual respondent burden is estimated below. The
estimate reflects the average number of respondents in each respondent
category, the average number of responses per respondent per year, the
average length of time it will take to complete each response, and the
total average annual burden for each category of respondent, and for
all categories of respondents combined.
