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: Hospital Data Abstraction, Formerly Entitled
Evaluation of Emergency Department Crisis Center Follow-Up--(OMB No.
0930-0337)
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 Hospital Data Abstraction, formerly
[[Page 40074]]
entitled Evaluation of Emergency Department Crisis Center Follow-up, is
to examine the impact of crisis center follow-up with patients admitted
to emergency departments or inpatient behavioral health units following
a suicide attempt or serious suicidal ideation on subsequent
readmissions for suicidal behavior. This effort assesses the capacity
of follow-up to save both lives and critical hospital resources. This
evaluation effort includes one data collection activity. Clearance is
being requested for the continuation and expansion of the already-
approved abstraction of hospital data on patients admitted to emergency
departments or inpatient behavioral health units following a suicide
attempt or serious ideation. This effort will continue to examine the
impact of crisis center follow-up on readmissions 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 activity is described below.
Hospitals collaborating with two cohorts (cohorts IV and V) of
Lifeline crisis centers will participate in this expanded initiative.
Fifteen hospitals per cohort will participate for a total of 30.
Patient data will be collected for patients admitted for a suicide
attempt in the two years prior to collaboration between the hospital
and crisis center and for patients admitted for a suicide attempt for
the two-year period after collaboration.
The Hospital Data Abstraction Form will be utilized to collect
systematic patient data for patients seen in the 30 participating
hospitals' emergency departments or inpatient behavioral health units.
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 or inpatient behavioral health unit admissions for the two
years prior to crisis center and hospital collaboration and for two
years following collaboration. It is expected that a total of 30,000
records will be abstracted by hospital staff and provided to the
evaluation team.
This revision involves an increase in the number of participating
hospital respondents and burden associated with the continuation/
expansion of the already-approved Hospital Data Abstraction Form (OMB
No. 0930-0337; Expiration 09/30/2016), as well as the discontinuation
of data collection and burden associated with the Crisis Center Data
Abstraction Form.
The estimated response burden to collect this information is as
follows annualized over the requested three-year clearance period is
presented below:
