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 at 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: SAMHSA Disaster Technical Assistance Center Training, 
Webinar, Podcast, and Mobile Application Feedback Forms--New

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA) is requesting approval for a 3-year data collection effort 
associated with the SAMHSA Disaster Technical Assistance Center 
Training, Webinar, Podcast, and Mobile Application Feedback Forms--New. 
The collection includes five data collection instruments--the Training 
Feedback Form, the Webinar/Podcast Feedback Form, the Mobile 
Application Feedback Form, the Training Evaluation Follow-Up Interview 
Guide, and the Webinar Feedback Form Follow-Up Interview Guide. All of 
the proposed data collection efforts will be used to gather feedback on 
several training, webinar, and podcast events provided by SAMHSA DTAC 
throughout the year, as well as feedback on a SAMHSA application for 
mobile devices. The information will be used to: (1) Enhance SAMHSA 
DTAC training, webinar, and podcast curricula and content and enhance 
these resources as feedback is gathered through this data collection 
effort; and (2) enhance the SAMHSA application for mobile devices.
    SAMHSA DTAC will be responsible for administering the data 
collection instruments and analyzing the data. SAMHSA DTAC will use 
data from the Training Feedback Form, the Webinar/Podcast Feedback 
Form, the Training Follow-Up Interview Guide, and the Webinar Feedback 
Form Follow-Up Interview Guide to inform current and future training, 
webinar, and podcast activities and to ensure these activities

continue to align with state/territory/tribe and local disaster 
behavioral health needs. SAMHSA will use data from the Mobile 
Application Feedback Form to inform updates and enhancements to the 
SAMHSA application for mobile devices. The components of the data 
collection are listed and described below, and a summary table of the 
number of respondents and respondent burden has also been included.
    Training Feedback Form and Webinar/Podcast Feedback Form. The 
Training Feedback Form and the Webinar/Podcast Feedback Form will 
assess the following: Content, presentation style, and presentation 
mode; relevance of the information presented; and satisfaction with the 
information presented. These surveys will be administered to all 
training and webinar participants immediately following each SAMHSA 
DTAC training or event, and periodically to those who have viewed 
podcasts. Six events or podcasts are estimated to be presented and made 
available each year. For webinars, podcasts, and web-based training 
events, the survey will be administered online. For those who attend 
in-person training events, the survey will be administered in person 
using hard copies of the survey instrument.
    Mobile Application Feedback Form. The Mobile Application Feedback 
Form is designed to elicit feedback on the usefulness of the SAMHSA 
application for mobile devices, satisfaction with the application, and 
suggestions for improvements. It will be administered as a link to a 
web-based survey directly through the application to all users of the 
SAMHSA application.
    Training Feedback Form Follow-Up Interviews and Webinar Feedback 
Form Follow-Up Interviews. The Training Feedback Form Follow-Up 
Interviews and Webinar Feedback Form Follow-Up Interviews will be 
conducted 1 month following participation in a SAMHSA DTAC training or 
webinar, with a sample of up to 10 percent of event attendees (or five 
individuals if 10 percent of participants is fewer than five). Data 
will be collected during one-on-one in-depth telephone interviews. The 
interviews will gather greater contextual information not available 
through administration of the respective Feedback Forms. The interviews 
will examine participants' experiences with the training and webinar 
and will include: The level to which the event met expectations; memory 
for information learned during the training and webinar; ability to 
apply the information to job tasks; suggestions for enhancing SAMHSA 
DTAC events; and suggestions for future training and webinar topics. 
The information collected will inform the content and presentation 
style of future SAMHSA DTAC trainings, webinars, and podcasts and 
associated materials.
    Internet-based technology will be used to collect data via web-
based surveys and for data entry and management of all proposed 
instruments. A 3-year clearance is requested for this project. The 
average annual respondent burden is estimated below. All proposed 
instruments will be ongoing data collection efforts. Table 1 presents 
the estimated annual data collection burden. These estimates reflect 
the average annual number of respondents, the average annual number of 
responses, the time required for each response, and the average annual 
burden in hours. It is estimated that each participant will attend or 
view no more than an average of two webinar or podcast events each 
year; participants will be asked to complete the Training Feedback Form 
or Webinar/Podcast Feedback Form for each event they attend or view. 
Participants will only be asked to participate in one Training Feedback 
Form Follow-Up Interview and one Webinar Feedback Form Follow-Up 
Interview each year.
