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: Mental Health First Aid Evaluation--NEW.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's
(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) is requesting
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for new data
collection activities associated with its Mental Health First Aid
(MHFA) program.
This information is needed to evaluate implementation of MHFA and
Youth Mental Health First Aid in three distinct grant programs: Project
Advancing Wellness and Resilience in Education (AWARE) State Education
Agency (SEA) Cooperative Agreements, which provide funding to support
MHFA and YMHFA training to state education agencies; Project AWARE
Local Education Agency (LEA) Grants, which provide funding to school
districts; and Project AWARE Community (C), a new funding opportunity
in fiscal year 2015 that is intended to support MHFA and YMHFA training
through a wide range of community organizations.
The MHFA/YMHFA evaluation will address both overarching and
program-specific questions related to the implementation and
effectiveness of widespread dissemination of mental health literacy
programs through these three distinct funding mechanisms and increase
SAMHSA's understanding of training, referral benefits, and issues in
varied milieu (e.g., implementation climate, leadership). These
evaluation questions are essential to address because, although MHFA/
YMHFA has a track record and well-articulated theory of action, it is
vital for SAMHSA to be able to identify factors that are expected to
increase or decrease the extent MHFA/YMHFA is disseminated and
implemented with quality.
This data collection is covered under the requirements of Public
Law 103-62, the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of
1993,Title 38, section 527, Evaluation and Data Collection, as well as
38 CFR 1.15, Standards for Program Evaluation.
SAMHSA is requesting clearance for four data collection
instruments:
(1) MHFA/YMHFA Pre-Training Survey.
(2) MHFA/YMHFA Post-Training Survey.
(3) MHFA/YMHFA 3-Month and 6-Month Follow-Up Survey.
(4) Qualitative protocol for interviews with site coordinators.
