Review; Comment Request

Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information

Project: Site Visits With Grantees Integrating HIV Primary Care, 
Substance Abuse, and Behavioral Health Services--NEW

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA) is requesting approval to conduct in-person Site Visit 
Interviews with Minority AIDS Initiative--Targeted Capacity Expansion 
(MAI-TCE) Grantees Integrating HIV Primary Care, Substance Abuse, and 
Behavioral Health Services. This is a new project request targeting the 
collection of programmatic level data (e.g., services provision, 
program administration, consumer involvement, evaluation planning, 
organizational capacity) through one-on-one and group interviews and 
site assessment surveys with grantee personnel.
    The goals of the MAI-TCE project are to facilitate the development 
and expansion of culturally competent and effective integrated 
behavioral health and primary care, which include HIV services and 
medical treatment within 11 of the 12 Metropolitan Statistical Areas 
(MSAs) and Metropolitan Divisions (MDs) most heavily impacted by HIV/
AIDS. The program also supports the integration of behavioral health 
services (i.e., prevention, treatment, and substance abuse) into the 
CDC's Enhanced Comprehensive HIV Prevention Plans (ECHPP). Interviews 
conducted with MAI-TCE grantees during site visits are an integral part 
of efforts to evaluate: (1) The effectiveness of program implementation 
across the grantee sites; (2) grantee efforts to integrate behavioral 
health, substance abuse and HIV care; (3) the variety of program models 
in use across the grantee sites; and, (4) grantee efforts to engage and 
successfully reach their target populations.
    SAMHSA will conduct a total of two in-person site visits with each 
of the 11 MAI-TCE program grantees, with surveys being administered 
prior to each site visit.
    SAMHSA will conduct interviews with grantee staff who will provide 
information on their program's integration of primary care and 
behavioral health services. While participating in the evaluation is a 
condition of the grantees' funding, participating in the interview and 
survey process is voluntary. Both instruments are designed to collect 
information about: specific program components; HIV testing integration 
challenges, successes, and lessons learned; HIV care and evidence-based 
behavioral health services for their specific populations of focus; and 
engaging consumers in the Behavioral Health and Primary Care Network 
Committee and other aspects of the project, including how cultural 
competence is operationalized.
    Below is the table of the estimated total burden hours:
