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 summary 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.
    National Evaluation of the Comprehensive Community Mental Health 
Services for Children and Their Families Program, Phase Four--New--
SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) is conducting Phase 
IV of this national evaluation project among grantees newly funded in 
FY 2002 and 2003. The national evaluation of the Comprehensive 
Community Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families 
Program will collect data on child mental health outcomes, family life, 
and service system development and performance.
    Data will be collected on 32 service systems, and approximately 
7,868 children and families. Data collection for this evaluation will 
be conducted in each site over a five-year period. The core of service 
system data will be collected every 18 months throughout the 5-year 
evaluation period, with a sustainability survey conducted in selected 
years. Service delivery and system variables of interest include the 
following: maturity of system of care development, adherence to the 
system of care program model, and client service experience. The length 
of time that individual families will participate in the study ranges 
from 18 to 36 months depending on when they enter the evaluation.
    Child and family outcomes of interest will be collected at intake 
and during subsequent follow-up sessions at six-month intervals. The 
outcome measures include the following: child symptomatology and 
functioning, family functioning, material resources, and caregiver 
strain. In addition, an evidence-based treatment study will examine the 
relative impact of evidence-based treatments focused on substance use 
prevention within two systems of care. Time-limited studies addressing 
the cultural competence of services and the role of primary care 
providers in systems of care will be conducted at selected points 
during the evaluation period. Internet-based technology will be used 
for collecting data via Web-based surveys and for data entry and 
management. The average annual respondent burden is estimated below.
