The Youth and Adult Minority Substance

Substance Abuse, HIV/AIDS, and hepatitis. The participants are
those in the Program who receive direct services for over 30 days
at three time points: (1) baseline (program entry), (2) program
exit, and (3) three to six months post-exit.

Currently there were 16,770
hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA is requesting 35,139 to continue
this cross-site evaluation. The additional 18,369 hours are due to
program changes, including an increase in the number of grantees
funded by the MSI CBO and CBI programs and related increase in the
expected numbers of participants to be served. Additionally, the
estimates of the number of participants by service duration and of
response rates to the surveys are based on data submitted by more
recent cohorts and are more representative of the probable
activities of the current cohorts of grantees. Finally, two brief
dosage forms have been added to the data collection protocol.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
