Proposed Project: Co-Location and Integration of HIV Prevention and
Medical Care Into Behavioral Health Program-Revision
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's
(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services, (CMHS), Center for
Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment
(CSAT) are requesting approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for revised data collection activities associated with their Co-
location and Integration of HIV Prevention and Medical Care into
Behavioral Health Program.
This information collection is needed to provide SAMHSA with
objective information to document the reach and impact of services
funded to address HIV and Hepatitis in the context of substance use
disorders and mental illness. The information will be used to monitor
quality assurance and quality performance outcomes for organizations
funded by its grant programs. Collection of the information included in
this request is authorized by Section 505 of the Public Health Service
Act (42 U.S.C. 290aa-4)--Data Collection.
Further support for this collection was provided in the 2013 Senate
Appropriations Report 113-71. The report urged SAMHSA to ``focus its
efforts on building capacity and outreach to individuals at risk or
with a primary substance abuse disorder and to improve efforts to
identify such individuals to prevent the spread of HIV.'' Additional
support for this data collection effort is provided by the 2013
National HIV/AIDS Strategy which instructed SAMHSA to ``support and
rigorously evaluate the development and implementation of new
integrated behavioral health models to address the intersection of
substance use, mental health, and HIV.''
