SAMHSA uses the performance measures to report on the performance of its discretionary services grant programs. This information is collected using a client tool that provides CSAT the capacity to report for all of its discretionary program: particular populations served, numbers of people served, types and locations of particular activities supported, effectiveness across programs for particular populations, the characteristics and effectiveness across programs of activities relative to national, subpopulation and geographic area data and trends.
Currently there are 321,085 burden hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA is now requesting 338,748 hours. This increase of 17,663 hours is due to the following program changes: 1) A decrease in 2,485 respondents, 1,044 hours in the elimination of the Teen Drug Court (TDC) program; and 2)Addition of the WHO-QOL 8 recovery measure questions (16,619 additional burden hours). The estimated time to complete the client interview with the revised tool has been revised to 28 minutes from 25.
