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 on (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: National Evaluation of the Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families Program: Phase VI (OMB No. 0930-0307)-REVISION
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center of Mental Health Services is responsible for the national evaluation of the Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families Program (Children's Mental Health Initiative-CMHI) that will collect data on child mental health outcomes, family life, and service system development. Data will be collected on 47 service systems, and approximately 6,561 children and families.
Principal changes from the previous Phase VI OMB approval include:
• Addition of nine (9) communities awarded cooperative agreements in FY2010 for data collection.
• Replacement of intake and follow-up questionnaires for the Child Welfare Sector and Comparison Study with an administrative record review form to lessen burden.
• Addition of a brief 8-item Education Sector Caregiver Questionnaire to the Education Sector and Comparison Study to capture family involvement in the development and use of Individualized Education Plans (IEPs).
• Removal of data collection activities for the Alumni Networking Study, the CQI Initiative Evaluation, and the Sustainability Study.
Data collection for this evaluation will be conducted over a five-year period. Child and family outcomes of interest will be collected at intake and during subsequent follow-up sessions at six-month intervals. The length of time that individual families will participate in the study is up to 24 months. The outcome measures include the following: child symptomatology and functioning, family functioning, satisfaction, and caregiver strain. The core of service system data will be collected every 18-24 months throughout the 5-year evaluation period. Service utilization and cost data will be tracked and submitted to the national evaluation every six months using two tools: the Flex Fund Tool and the Services and Costs Data Tool to estimate average cost of treatment per child, distribution of costs, and allocation of costs across service categories. Service delivery and system variables of interest include the following: maturity of system of care development in funded system of care communities, adherence to the system of care program model, and client service experience.
In addition, the evaluation will include one special study: The Sector and Comparison Study will examine in more detail the outcomes and service experience of children from multiple child-serving sectors and, through child-level matching, compare these outcomes with those not receiving system of care services.
Internet-based technology such as data entry and management tools will be used in this evaluation. The measures of the national evaluation address annual Congressional reporting requirements of the program's authorizing legislation, and the national outcome measures for mental health programs as currently established by SAMHSA.
The average annual respondent burden is estimated below. The estimate reflects the average number of respondents in each respondent category, the average number of responses per respondent per year, the average length of time it will take to complete each response, and the total average annual burden for each category of respondent, and for all categories of respondents combined.
