four points.
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is

the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;

be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those

    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Individuals or Households; State and 
Local Government. This study is designed to examine: (1) The mental 
health status of youth in selected facilities and programs; (2) the 
availability of mental health and related substance abuse services for 
these youth; (3) the extent to which needed services are services are 
received by the youth; and (4) the level of youth and family 
satisfaction with services received.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: It is estimated 
that approximately 2,700 youth will complete the Massachusetts Youth 
Screening Instrument--Second Version (MAYSI-2), which takes 6-10 
minutes to administer. In addition, a brief youth survey on service 
utilization and satisfaction, including some demographic items, will be 
administered to all study participants with the MAYSI. This survey will 
take no more than 15 minutes to administer. The Voice Diagnostic 
Interview Schedule for Children Version 4 (V-DISC 4) will be 
administered to 50% of those completing the MAYSI-2 interview. The V-
DISC 4 takes about 1 hour to administer. We anticipate a total of 24 
participants in the family focus groups and 45 key staff interviews. It 
is anticipated that the focus groups will take approximately 2 hours 
each, and the key staff interviews will take 45 minutes each.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection:
    The estimated total hour burden to complete all data collection 
activities is estimated to be 2,556.75 hours.
