DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.
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
