Terms of Clearance: Phase I of this feasibility study is approved for use through 10/92 under the following conditions: 1) Prior to fielding the instrument, NIDA:(a) justifies the practical utility of interviewer problem severity rating questions (e.g. questio D8) and explains how inter rater reliability will be ensured for such questions; and (b) justifies the validity of responses to questions su as J6a. and J18a. which ask clients whether physical or emotional problems were due to drug use. In the absence of adequate justification from the Department, OMB may ask that such questions be deleted from the instrument prior to use. 2) No later than 12/91, NIDA provides OMB with a comprehensive explanation of its plans to evaluate potential bias in non participati programs, client non respondents, and item specific non response. In addition, NIDA should present a plan for: 1) validation of client responses in all outcome categories; and 2) controlling for facility bias in administering the survey and responding to the Program Directo questionnaire. Finally, NIDA should articulate how results from NDATU or the Drug Research Study could be used to supplant or validate treatment program responses. 3) NIDA concentrates on the development of a case mix measurement and adjustment methodology in Phase I of this effort and will present this methodology in its next package for OMB clearance.
