Project: Minority AIDS Initiative-Management Reporting Tools (MAI-
MRTs)--(OMB No. 0930-0357)--Revision

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) is requesting 
from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the revised 
Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) monitoring tools, which includes both 
youth and adult questionnaires as well as the quarterly progress 
report. This renewal includes the inclusion of new cohorts.
    The cohorts of grantees funded by the MAI and included in this 
clearance request are:

 Capacity Building Initiative 2017
 Capacity Building Initiative 2018
 Prevention Navigators 2017
 Prevention Navigators 2019
 Prevention Navigators 2020
 Prevention Navigators 2021

    The target population for the MAI grantees will be at-risk minority 
adolescents and young adults. All MAI grantees are expected to report 
their monitoring data using SAMHSA's Strategic Prevention Framework 
(SPF) to target minority populations, as well as other high-risk groups 
residing in communities of color with high prevalence of Substance 
Abuse and HIV/AIDS. The primary objectives of the monitoring tools 
include:
     Assess the success of the MAI in reducing risk factors and 
increasing protective factorsassociated with the transmission of the 
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), and other 
sexually transmitted diseases (STD).
     Measure the effectiveness of evidence-based programs and 
infrastructure development activities such as: Outreach and training, 
mobilization of key stakeholders, substance abuse and HIV/AIDS 
counseling and education, testing, referrals to appropriate medical 
treatment and/or other intervention strategies (i.e., cultural 
enrichment activities, educational and vocational resources, social 
marketing campaigns, and computer-based curricula).
     Investigate intervention types and features that yield the 
best outcomes for specific population groups.
     Assess the extent to which access to health care was 
enhanced for population groups and individuals vulnerable to behavioral 
health disparities residing in communities targeted by funded 
interventions.
     Assess the process of adopting and implementing the SPF 
with the target populations.
