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

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), has funded the 
Cross-Site Accountability Assessment of the Residential Treatment for 
Pregnant and Postpartum Women and Their Minor Children Program (PPW). 
In addition to assessing project activities, 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, the 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 24 (brief observation of mother/child 
interaction), (3) Ferrans and Powers Quality of Life Index; (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 Assessment Guide (ages 7-10), 
(4) Adolescent Development Assessment Guide (ages 11-17), and (5) the 
CRAFFT substance abuse screening instrument (ages 14-17). 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 accountability assessment 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.
    Tables A-1 through A-4 below show the estimated annual response 
burden for this collection.
