Abstract: The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for data collection activities to support the evaluation of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA’s) Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) Grant Program for Individuals with Serious Mental Illness. Enacted into law on April 1, 2014, Section 224 of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA) (Public Law 113-93) mandated a 4-year pilot program of grants to implement AOT programs nationwide [Attachment A]. Section 224(e) required a program evaluation to examine the impact of AOT on cost savings and public health outcomes, incarceration, homelessness, and patient and family satisfaction with program participation.
