Approved with
the following terms of clearance: (1) SAMHSA shall investigate the
use of retrospective reports to measure annual change, because this
change in methodology may introduce response errors that were not
present in estimates of yearly change calculated with the
overlapping sample. SAMHSA shall report results of this
investigation to OMB before changing their methodology. (2) SAMHSA
shall provide OMB with the report they are planning to prepare
regarding the effectiveness of increased targeting of the age 50+
participant group to determine the effect on response rates for
this group. (3) SAMHSA will revise the survey, as noted in the
9/29/03 memo, to include more questions on OxyContin use.
