This information
collection is approved for use until December 31, 199 as amended in
the October 3, 1990 memorandum to the Assistant to the Director,
NCHS that was forwarded to OMB. In any future submission, CDC/NCHS
should address what efforts have been taken to study the
feasibility of expanding its coverage of board and care homes
beyond only those that are licensed/certified. If
non-licensed/certified board and care homes are not incorporated
into the NHPI, any use or analysis of the NHPI data on board and
care homes should indicate the limitation of the data and its
utility. Question 5, Attachment B (survey for inpatient facilities)
should modify the response options to permit a distinction to be
made between homes or facilities that serve residents who are
alcohol abusers and those who are drug abusers.
