The program is designed to support integrated behavioral health and physical health services for racial/ethnic populations at high risk for behavioral health disorders and at high risk for contracting HIV. This information collection is needed to provide SAM with objective information to document the reach and impact of the Co-location and Integration of HIV Prevention and Medical Care into Behavioral Health program. The information will be used to monitor quality assurance and quality performance outcomes for organizations funded by this grant program. The information will also be used to assess the impact of services on behavioral health and physical health services for individuals served by this program.
Currently there are 1,143 burden hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA is requesting 6,097 hours. The program change of 4,954 hours is due to the additional programs that will use the revised form. The proposed RHHT form will replace SAMHSAâs OMB-approved RHT Form (OMB No. 0930-0295) which will be expiring on November 30, 2015, and included a total of 9,576 burden hours.
The deletion of the program-specific version of TRAC form reflects: -397 hours, -1,200 respondents, and -2,196 responses.
The deletion of the HIV-Specific Indicators form reflects: -96 hours, -200 respondents and -320 responses.
