HHS shall ensure
that SAMHSA and NCHS renew their consideration of including these
provider surveys as part of data consolidation. Renewal of the
SAMHSA Survey will be contingent on a report as to whether there
should be a cnsolidated survey initiative, as HHS now has some
experience in how SAMHSA-specific issues might be accomodated as
part of an integrated survey.
