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) 443-7978.
    Survey of Organized Consumer Self-Help Entities--(OMB No. 0930-
0214, extension)--The mutual support and self-help movement in the 
United States has mushroomed, and significant numbers of mental health 
consumer-operated businesses and services are emerging. Increasingly, 
these groups, organizations, and business are providing support and 
services to mental health consumers and family members as a complement 
to, or substitution for, traditional mental health services. The 
purposes of this project of SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services 
are to estimate the number of these mental health groups, 
organizations, and businesses nationwide and to describe their 
characteristics--structure, types of activities engaged in, approaches 
to well-being and recovery, resources, and linkages to other community 
groups, organizations, and businesses and services, such as the mental 
health service delivery system. The survey will gather information from 
a sample of approximately 3,900 mutual support groups and self-help 
organizations run by and for recipients of mental health services and/
or their family members and consumer-operated businesses and services. 
Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) will be used to

conduct interviews with in-scope groups, organizations and businesses. 
This extension will allow for completion of the survey. The total 
response burden estimate is shown below.
