    Proposed Project: Evaluation of SAMHSA Primary and Behavioral 
Health Care Integration Grant Program.--Revision--OMB No. 0990-0371--
Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation.
    Abstract: The Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation 
(ASPE) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration are funding an independent evaluation of the Substance 
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration/Center for Mental 
Health Services' (SAMHSA/CMHS) Primary and Behavioral Health Care 
Integration (PBHCI) grant program. Four-year PBHCI grants for up to 
$500,000 per year were awarded to thirteen grantees on September 30, 
2009. A second group of nine grants and a third group of 34 grants were 
awarded September 30, 2010, for a total of 56 grants. The purpose of 
the PBHCI program is to improve the overall wellness and physical 
health status of people with serious mental illnesses (SMI), including 
individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders, by supporting 
communities to coordinate and integrate primary care services into 
publicly-funded community mental health and other community-based 
behavioral health settings. The information collected through the 3 
year evaluation will assist SAMHSA in assessing whether integrated 
primary care services produce improvements in the physical and mental 
health of the SMI population receiving services from community-based 
behavioral health agencies. Data will be collected from grantee staff 
at all sites and from clients at up to 10 sites (client exam/survey). 
An Emergency Clearance Request covering the first six months of data 
collection starting February 15, 2011 and ending August 14, 2011 was 
approved February 15, 2011. This submission will cover data collection 
for the period starting August 15, 2011 and ending October 1, 2013.
