Project: Services Grant Program for Residential Treatment for Pregnant 
and Postpartum Women (PPW) Quarterly Progress Reports--NEW

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, has developed a set of 
infrastructure development measures in which recipients of cooperative 
agreements will report on various benchmarks on a quarterly-annual 
basis. The infrastructure development measures are designed to collect 
information at the grantee-level and program-level.
    The draft infrastructure measures are based on the programmatic 
requirements conveyed in TI-14-005, Services Grant Program for 
Residential Treatment for Pregnant and Postpartum Women.
    The purpose of this program is to provide funding to improve 
treatment

[[Page 13813]]

for low-income (according to federal poverty guidelines) women, age 18 
and over, who are pregnant, postpartum (the period after childbirth up 
to 12 months), and their minor children, age 17 and under, who have 
limited access to quality health services.
    The pregnant and postpartum women program will implement parenting 
and treatment evidence-based practice models and a feedback loop 
developed to enable the grantee and the programs to identify barriers 
and test solutions through direct services. The expected outcomes of 
these grants will include decreases in the use and/or abuse of 
prescription drugs, alcohol, tobacco, illicit and other harmful drugs 
(e.g., inhalants) among pregnant and postpartum women; increases in 
safe and healthy pregnancies; improved birth outcomes; reduced 
perinatal and environmentally-related effects of maternal and/or 
paternal drug abuse on infants and children; improved mental and 
physical health of women and children; prevention of mental, emotional, 
and behavioral disorders among the children; improved parenting skills, 
family functioning, economic stability, and quality of life; decreased 
involvement in and exposure to crime, violence, and neglect; and 
decreased physical, emotional, and sexual abuse for all family members. 
Women, their adolescents/children (up to age 17), fathers, and other 
family members who are provided services through grant funds will 
inform the process to improve systems issues.
