DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

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 (240) 276-1243.

2004 Inventory of Mental Health Organizations, General Hospital Mental 
Health Services, and Managed Care Organizations Survey (IMHO)--(OMB No. 
0930-0119)--Revision

    The 2004 IMHO will be conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental 
Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health 
Services (CMHS). The design of the 2004 IMHO will be different from the 
1998, 2000, and 2002 surveys. For 2004, we will return to just one data 
collection phase. This single phase, used by all surveys prior to 1998, 
will be a 100% enumeration of all known mental health organizations. 
The 2004 IMHO will utilize five separate questionnaires: (1) The Mental 
Health Organization Inventory; (2) The General Hospital Inventory; (3) 
The General Hospital Screener; (4) The Community Residential 
Organization Screener; and (5) The Managed Behavioral Healthcare 
Organization questionnaire.
    Organizational data, to be collected by the Inventory 
questionnaires, include service categories, client/patient census by 
basic demographics, revenues, expenditures, and staffing. The purpose 
of the two screener questionnaires will be to confirm whether direct 
and separate mental health services are being provided in these 
organizations.
    The resulting data base will be used to provide national estimates 
and will be the basis of the National Directory of Mental Health 
Services. In addition, data derived from the survey will be published 
by CMHS in Data Highlights, in Mental Health, United States, and in 
professional journals such as Psychiatric Services and the American 
Journal of Psychiatry. The publication Mental Health, United States is 
used by the general public, State governments, the U.S. Congress, 
university researchers, and other health care professionals. The 
following Table summarizes the burden for the survey.
