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: Interviews With Grantees Integrating Behavioral Health
Treatment, Prevention, and HIV Medical Care Services (OMB NO. 0930-
0336)--Reinstatement
SAMHSA is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval
to conduct in-person Site Visit Interviews with Minority AIDS
Initiative--Continuum of Care (MAI-CoC) Grantees Integrating Behavioral
Health Treatment, Prevention, and HIV Medical Care Services. This
reinstatement request utilizes revised versions of the site visit
interview guide approved under the Minority AIDS Initiative--Targeted
Capacity Expansion (MAI-TCE) Grantees Integrating HIV Primary Care,
Substance Abuse, and Behavioral Health Services (OMB NO. 0930-0336).
The two rounds of interviews (baseline and follow-up) target the
collection of programmatic-level data (e.g., community context,
organizational structure, and staffing and staff development, services
and service model, outreach, referral and enrollment into services,
services/care coordination and integration and funding for integrated
services and program successes and challenges) through one-on-one and
group interviews with grantees who are part of the MAI-CoC program.
The goal of the MAI-CoC project is to integrate behavioral health
treatment, prevention, and HIV and Hepatitis medical care services for
racial/ethnic minority populations at high risk for behavioral health
disorders who are also at high risk for or living with HIV and
Hepatitis. The program also supports other priority populations
including men who have sex with men (MSM) and bisexual men, transgender
persons, and people with substance use disorder. The program is
primarily intended for substance use disorder treatment and community
mental health providers to provide coordinated and integrated services
through the collocation and/or integration of behavioral health
treatment and HIV and Hepatitis medical care. Interviews conducted with
MAI-CoC grantees during the two rounds of site visits are an integral
part of evaluation efforts to: (1) Assess the impact of the SAMHSA-
funded HIV and Hepatitis programs in: Reducing behavioral health
disorders and HIV and Hepatitis infections; increasing access to
substance use disorder and mental disorder treatment and care;
improving behavioral and mental health outcomes; and reducing HIV and
Hepatitis-related disparities; (2) Describe the different integrated
behavioral health and medical program models; and (3) Determine which
program types or models are most effective in improving behavioral
health and clinical outcomes.
Over the four-year project, SAMHSA will conduct two rounds of these
in-person site visits (baseline and follow-up) with each of the 34 MAI-
CoC program grantees.
SAMHSA will conduct one-on-one and group interviews with MAI-CoC
grantee staff who will provide information on their program's
integration of HIV and Hepatitis prevention, medical care, and primary
care into behavioral health services. While participating in the
evaluation is a condition of the grantees' funding, participating in
the interview process is voluntary. The instruments are designed to
collect information about: (1) The development and changes in MAI-CoC
program operations, staffing, training and programming; (2) the grantee
organization, the MAI-CoC program and its structure, the community
context surrounding program efforts, and changes that result from MAI-
CoC activities; and, (3) the changes in the number or nature of
partnerships and collaborations both internal and external to the MAI-
CoC program grantee.
