OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 01/14/1994
	Date Received in OIRA: 10/18/1993
Terms of Clearance: The concept of this submission is approved. OMB does not approve init tion of the survey design or instrument at this time, however, due to several significant reservations that necessitate further discussions with PHS. First, OMB is concerned about PHS' unclear focus on particular treatment modes for schizophrenia. A well articulated and integrated focus could expand the number of eligible states and shift more resources to a comparison between a few select treatments. Secon the sample may be biased by self selection, replacement, and reimburse ment. OMB needs to understand planned survey and recruitment techni- ques that may address these issues. Third, OMB is concerned that the proposed sample does not provide a nationally representative sample of persons under treatment of schizophrenia. OMB did not have the opportunity to evaluate this policy in the RFP. Fourth, OMB is concerned that Medicaid claims files were not used in the selection of participating states, perhaps due to HCFA's reluctance to timely assis PHS in this effort. Related to this issue, is PHS' reliance on Medica claims data from state Medicaid offices, thereby limiting PORT partici tion to eight states, rather than all states participating in HCFA's 2082 dump. Finally, this effort was piloted tested only with outpatie clients familiar with the Lickert scale. PHS should schedule a meetin with OMB to discuss methodologies for guidelines evaluation before submitting further PORTs for PRA review.
