obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the SAMHSA 
Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collections of 
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions 
of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other

Proposed Project: Cross-Site Assessment of the Residential Treatment 
for Pregnant and Postpartum Women (PPW) and Their Children Program--New

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), is funding the 
Services Grant Program for Residential Treatment for Pregnant and 
Postpartum Women (PPW). The purpose of the PPW is to expand the 
availability of comprehensive, high quality residential treatment 
services for pregnant and postpartum women who suffer from alcohol and 
other drug use problems, and for their infants and children impacted by 
the perinatal and environmental effects of maternal substance use and 
abuse.
    Section 508 [290bb-1] (o) of the Public Health Service Act mandates 
the evaluation and dissemination of findings of residential treatment 
programs for pregnant and postpartum women. This cross-site 
accountability assessment will assess project activities implemented 
for these services.
    With input from multiple experts in the field of women and 
children's treatment programs, projects selected by consensus a common 
core of data collection instruments that will be used for program and 
treatment planning, local evaluations, and for this cross-site 
accountability evaluation. For mothers, five different interview 
instruments will be used: (1) Child Data Collection Tool, Part 1 
(personal background) and Part 2 (infant and child background); (2) 
Child Well-Being Scale (brief observation of mother/child interaction); 
(3) Quality of Life survey; (4) BASIS 32 (behavioral health 
assessment); and (5) Allen's Barriers to Treatment. For children of all 
ages, program staff will collect information from observation, 
interview, and records review. Children's data collection tools 
include: (1) Child Well-Being Scales (all children), (2) Denver 
Developmental Screening Inventory II (ages 1m-6y), (3) Middle Childhood 
Developmental Chart (ages 7 to 10), (4) Adolescent Development Chart 
(ages 11 to 17), and (5) the CRAFFT substance abuse screening 
instrument (ages 11-17). Additional records review will be conducted by 
program staff on all program participants at discharge.
    All data will be collected using a combination of observation, 
records review, and computer-based personal interviews. CSAT will use 
this data for this evaluation to influence public policy, research, and 
programming as they relate to the provision of women's services. Data 
produced by this study will provide direction to the type of technical 
assistance that will be required by service providers of women's 
programming. In addition, the data will be used by individual grantees 
to support progress report efforts.
    The following is the estimated annual response burden for this 
collection.
