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 project
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 collection 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

Proposed Project Behavioral Health Information Technologies Survey--NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) and Center for
Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ) are proposing a survey
to assess health information technology (HIT) adoption among SAMHSA
grantees. As part of its Strategic Initiative to advance the use of
health information technologies to support integrated behavioral health
care, SAMHSA has been working to develop a survey instrument that will
examine the status of and plans for HIT adoption by behavioral health
service providers who are implementing SAMHSA grant programs. The
selected programs are funded by the by the Center for Mental Health
Services (CMHS), the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), and
(CSAT).
This project seeks to acquire baseline data necessary to inform the
Agency's strategic initiative that focuses on fostering the adoption of
HIT in community behavioral health services. The survey of SAMHSA
grantees regarding their access to and use of health information
technology will provide valuable information that will inform the
behavioral HIT literature.
Approval of this data collection by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) will allow SAMHSA to identify the current status of HIT
adoption and use among a diverse group of grantees. Data from the
survey will allow SAMHSA to enhance the HIT-related programmatic
activities among its grantees by providing data on how HIT facilitates
the implementation of different types of SAMHSA grants, thereby
fostering the appropriate adoption of HIT within SAMSHA-funded
programs.
The survey will collect data once, providing a snapshot view of the
current state of HIT adoption. The proposed participant pool is
comprised of SAMHSA grantee program leadership who are willing to
provide the assistance needed to ensure a high rate of response.
Awardees from nine different SAMHSA programs drawn from CMHS, CSAT, and
CSAP comprise the pool of survey participants.
The survey mode for data collection will be web-based with embedded
skip logic for respondents to avoid questions that are not applicable
to them. The minimum amount of time for a respondent to complete the
survey is 20 minutes, with respondents who do not skip items taking a
maximum of 30 minutes for completion. The total estimated respondent
burden is 149.6 hours.
