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 list 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 (301)443-8005.
    Proposed Project: The 1997 Sample Survey of Mental Health 
Organizations and General Hospitals with Separate Psychiatric 
Services--Revision of the Inventory of Mental Health Organizations and 
General Hospital Mental Health Services (IMHO/GHMHS). The survey will 
be conducted in two phases. Phase I will be a brief two page inventory 
consisting of two forms--one for all organizations that provide mental 
health treatment services and the other for all managed behavioral 
health care organizations. Phase II will be a sample survey of over 
3,000 organizations drawn from the universe of organizations providing 
mental health treatment services identified in the first phase. The 
sample survey will use a more comprehensive, but very similar form to 
the one used in the 1994 IMHO/GHMHS. The organizational data to be 
collected include ownership and management, client/patient 
demographics, revenues and expenditures, and staffing. The

dataset produced will be used to provide national statistical estimates 
and will be the basis of the National Directory of Mental Health 
Services. The annual burden estimate is as follows:
