Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services

collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork

Project: Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG)
Program, Cohorts IV and V--NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's
(SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) requests OMB
approval to collect community outcomes data for the cross-site
evaluation of the Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant
(SPF SIG) program, Cohorts IV and V. CSAP has previously funded two
cross-site evaluations of the Strategic Prevention Framework State
Incentive Grant (SPF SIG), one focused on Cohorts I and II and the
other on Cohorts III, IV, and V. Collectively, these evaluations
provide an important opportunity to inform the prevention field on
current practices and their association with community- and state-level
outcomes.
Data are collected at the grantee, community, and participant
levels. The collection of community outcomes data is the focus of the
current request. The primary cross-site evaluation objective is to
determine the impact of SPF SIG on building prevention capacity and
infrastructure, and preventing the onset and reducing the progression
of substance abuse, as measured by the SAMHSA National Outcome Measures
(NOMs).
The SPF SIG grant program is a major investment by the federal
government to improve substance abuse prevention systems and enhance
the quality of prevention programs, primarily through the
implementation of the SPF process. The goal of this initiative is to
provide states, jurisdictions, tribal entities, and the communities
within them with the tools necessary to develop an effective prevention
system with attention to the processes, directions, goals,
expectations, and accountabilities necessary for functionality. SAMHSA/
CSAP needs to collect information over the course of the remaining
grant period to monitor the progress of the SPF SIG initiative. CSAP
will use the findings from the analysis of the community outcomes data
in the cross-site evaluation to assess the impact of SPF activities on
community-level outcomes.
