Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information 
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these 
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.

Project: Mental Health First Aid Evaluation-NEW

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 
(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) is requesting 
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for new data 
collection activities associated with its Mental Health First Aid 
(MHFA) program.
    This information is needed to evaluate implementation of MHFA and 
Youth Mental Health First Aid in three distinct grant programs: Project 
Advancing Wellness and Resilience in Education (AWARE) State Education 
Agency (SEA) Cooperative Agreements, which provide funding to support 
MHFA and YMHFA training to state education agencies; Project AWARE 
Local Education Agency (LEA) Grants, which provide funding to school 
districts; and Project AWARE Community (C), a new funding opportunity 
in fiscal year 2015 that is intended to support MHFA and YMHFA training 
through a wide range of community organizations.
    The MHFA/YMHFA evaluation will address both overarching and 
program-specific questions related to the implementation and 
effectiveness of widespread dissemination of mental health literacy 
programs through these three distinct funding mechanisms and increase 
SAMHSA's understanding of training, referral benefits, and issues in 
varied milieu (e.g., implementation climate, leadership). These 
evaluation questions are essential to address because, although MHFA/
YMHFA has a track record and well-articulated theory of action, it is 
vital for SAMHSA to be able to identify factors that are expected to 
increase or decrease the extent MHFA/YMHFA is disseminated and 
implemented with quality.
    This data collection is covered under the requirements of Public 
Law 103-62, the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993, 
Title 38, section 527, Evaluation and Data Collection, as well as 38 
CFR 1.15, Standards for Program Evaluation.
    SAMHSA is requesting clearance for four data collection 
instruments:
    (1) MHFA/YMHFA Pre-Training Survey
    (2) MHFA/YMHFA Post-Training Survey
    (3) MHFA/YMHFA 3-Month and 6-Month Follow-Up Survey
    (4) Qualitative protocol for interviews with site coordinators
    The table below reflects the annualized hourly burden.
