DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
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: State Opioid Response (SOR) and Tribal Opioid Response (TOR)
Program Data Collection and Performance Measurement--NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's
(SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is requesting
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for data
collection activities associated with the State Opioid Response (SOR)
and Tribal Opioid Response (TOR) discretionary grant programs. Approval
of this information collection will allow SAMHSA to continue to meet
the Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010
(GPRMA) reporting requirements that quantify the effects and
accomplishments of its discretionary grant programs which are
consistent with OMB guidance. Information collected through this
request will be used to monitor performance throughout the grant
period.
There will be up to 359 award recipients (states, territories, and
tribal entities) in these grant programs. Grantee-level data will
include information related to naloxone purchases and distribution.
This grantee-level information will be collected quarterly.
All funded states/territories and tribal entities will also be
required to collect and report client-level data on individuals who are
receiving opioid treatment and/or recovery services to ensure program
goals and objectives are being met. Client-level data will include
information such as: Demographic
[[Page 63522]]
information, services planned/received, mental health/substance use
disorder diagnoses, medical status, employment status, substance use,
legal status, and psychiatric status/symptoms. Client-level data will
be collected at intake/baseline, three months post intake, six months
post intake, and at discharge.
CSAT anticipates that the time required to collect and report the
grantee-level information is approximately 10 minutes per response, and
the time required to collect and report the client-level data is
approximately 47 minutes per response. CSAT's estimate of the burden
associated with the client-level instrument includes an adjustment for
data elements that are currently being collected by entities that are
likely to be funded by the SOR/TOR grant programs.
