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 at (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: SAMHSA Transformation Accountability (TRAC) Data
Collection Instrument (OMB No. 093-0285)--Revised
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) is proposing to
modify one of its current Transformation Accountability (TRAC) system
data collection tools to include previously piloted recovery measures.
Specifically, this revision entails the incorporation of twelve
recovery measures into the current CMHS NOMs Adult Client-level
Measures for Discretionary Programs Providing Direct Services data
collection tool. As part of its strategic initiative to support
recovery from mental health and substance use disorders, SAMHSA has
been working to develop a standard measure of recovery that can be used
as part of its grantee performance reporting activities.
This revision will add eight questions from the World Health
Organization's (WHO) Quality of Life (QOL) to SAMHSA's existing set of
Government
[[Page 69839]]
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) measures along with four additional
measures that support the WHO QOL-8. Data will be collected at two time
points--at client intake and at six months post-intake. These are two
points in time during which SAMHSA grantees routinely collect data on
the individuals participating in their programs.
The WHO QOL-8 will assess the following domains using the items
listed below:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question number Item Domain
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1................. How would you Overall quality of life.
rate your

2................. How satisfied Overall quality of life.

3................. Do you have Physical health.

7................. Have you enough Environment.

8................. How satisfied Environment.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The revision also includes the following recovery-related
performance measures:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question number Item
------------------------------------------------------------------------
9........................... During the past 30 days, how much have you
been bothered by these psychological or
emotional problems? (This question will
be placed in the instrument following the
K6 questions for proper sequence).
10.......................... I have family or friends that are
supportive of my recovery.
11.......................... I generally accomplish what I set out to
do.
12.......................... I feel capable of managing my health care
needs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Approval of these items by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) will allow SAMHSA to further refine the Recovery Measure
developed for this project. It will also help determine whether the
Recovery Measure is added to SAMHSA's set of required performance
measurement tools designed to aid in tracking recovery among clients
receiving services from the Agency's funded programs.
