Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

    In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 concerning opportunity for public comment on proposed 
collections of information, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health 
Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of 
proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed projects 
or to 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 
forms of information technology.

Proposed Project: National Evaluation of the Comprehensive Community 
Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families Program: Phase 
IV--(OMB No. 0930-0257)--Revision

    SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services is responsible for the 
national evaluation of the Comprehensive Community Mental Health 
Services for Children and Their Families Program that will collect data 
on child mental health outcomes, family life, and service system 
development and performance.
    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 27 service 
systems, and roughly 5,922 children and families. Data collection for 
this evaluation is conducted over a 5-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 6-month intervals. The outcome 
measures include the following: Child symptomatology and functioning, 
family functioning, material resources, and caregiver strain. 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 for the final 3 years of data collection. The estimate reflects 
the average number of respondents in each respondent category, the 
average number of responses per respondent per year, the average length 
of time it will take for each response, and the total average annual 
burden for each category of respondent, and for all categories of 
respondents combined.
    This revision to the currently approved information collection 
activities includes: (1) The addition of a Primary Care Study, and (2) 
the addition of a Treatment Effectiveness Study. The Primary Care Study 
seeks to investigate the role of primary health care practitioners 
(PCPs) in systems of care and to further understand the impact of 
services provided within primary care on child and family outcomes. One 
goal of this study is to identity strategies that help primary care and 
mental health care providers to work together effectively. Another is 
to identify ways to integrate PCPs into systems of care. The treatment 
effectiveness study will examine the relative impact of community-based 
treatments focused within system of care sites. This study will focus 
on a community-based practice that has not accumulated research 
evidence, but rather through community-based implementation that has 
accumulated practice-based evidence.
