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.
