Project: National Mental Health Study Field Test--NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) plans to conduct a methodological field test for a potential
national mental health study, provisionally named the National Mental
Health Study (NMHS). The NMHS will use mental disorder assessments
similar to studies last conducted over a decade ago in the National
Comorbidity Survey-Replication among adults in 2001-2003 and the
National Comorbidity Survey-Adolescent supplement among adolescents in
2001-2002. SAMHSA is collaborating with the National Institute of
Mental Health (NIMH) to implement this field test.
The purpose of the NMHS Field Test is to test the procedures for a
potential NMHS. The field test consists of three general components.
The first component is sample selection using a household screener. The
household screener will be used to determine eligibility of individuals
and to make selections of individuals to recruit for participation in
the second component. The second component consists of an in-person
survey of the selected adult and adolescent respondents. The NMHS
procedures vary somewhat between adults (aged 18 or older) and
adolescents (aged 13 to 17). For all respondents, the in-person
assessment (using either the adult or adolescent instrument) will be
conducted primarily using audio computer-assisted self-interviewing
(ACASI), with an emphasis on respondents completing the interview in a
single session. In addition to the adolescent in-person assessment,
parents/legal guardians of adolescent respondents will receive an
additional web or phone interviews (the parent instrument). The final
component consists of a telephone clinical reappraisal of a selected
subgroup of adult and adolescent respondents, with an additional
parent/guardian reporting for adolescents.
The NMHS field test will include 1,200 English speaking
respondents--900 adults and 300 adolescents in the United States
excluding Alaska and Hawaii. Approximately 210 parents/legal guardians
of adolescent respondents will complete an additional parent interview.
A subsample of approximately 150 adult and adolescent respondents and
50 parent respondents will complete a telephone-based clinical
reappraisal follow-up interview. In addition, a subsample of completed
screening and interview cases will be re-contacted for a brief
telephone interview to verify that interviewers followed proper
protocols when collecting data. The sample size supports testing of
field procedures, sampling algorithms, and data processing steps. The
total annual burden estimate is shown in the table below.
