Public Burden Statement: This data collection will provide the Health Resources and Services Administration with information to guide future program and policy decisions regarding increasing health care providers’ (i.e., physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurse midwives, and other health care professionals) capacity to address patients’ behavioral health and access to behavioral health services. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this information collection is 0906-XXXX and it is valid until XX/XX/202X. This information collection is voluntary. The current project will fully comply with the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. Section 552a, 1998; https://www.justice.gov/opcl/privacy-act-1974). The Privacy Act may apply to some data collection activities (e.g., the study will collect email addresses from some respondents). Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average xx hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to HRSA Reports Clearance Officer, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 14N136B, Rockville, Maryland, 20857 or [email protected]. 

HRSA funded [insert name of state] to implement a Screening and Treatment for Maternal Depression and Related Behavioral Disorders (MDRBD) program, [insert program name]. HRSA also funded JBS International, Inc. (JBS) to conduct an outcome and impact evaluation of the MCHB MDRBD program (hereafter referred to as the HRSA MCHB evaluation). JBS is an independent evaluator of the program and is not part of HRSA or any other federal agency.

Survey Purpose: As part of the HRSA MCHB evaluation, we are conducting a survey of maternal health care providers who are participating in [insert name of state]’s HRSA MDRBD program. The survey is designed to collect information on your experiences with the MDRBD program (e.g., assessing and treating behavioral health conditions, accessing behavioral health care services for your patients, capacity to address behavioral health conditions) and assist HRSA in future program implementation.

Survey Instructions: This online survey should take less than ten (10) minutes for you to complete. Please answer based on your current practice and understanding, unless otherwise indicated. There are no right or wrong answers to the survey questions. Please note that your responses will remain private and are voluntary. Survey results will be reported to HRSA in the aggregate, and no identifying information will appear in the evaluation reports without your prior approval. No identifiable data will be provided to HRSA.

About Your State’s Program and Helpful Terminology: Each state’s MDRBD program includes creating a clinical behavioral health consultation service; enrolling health care providers, such as yourself into the MDRBD program; and providing training on how to consult with the clinical behavioral health consultation service in your state and/or to provide behavioral health care in your practice. The questions that follow ask about your experiences obtaining training, clinical behavioral health consultation, referral, and community linkage information from your state’s MDRBD program and about your current practices for addressing behavioral health conditions in your pregnant and postpartum patients.

Please create a Unique Identifier for your survey to maintain the privacy of your responses and allow us to match your future survey responses.

How to create your Unique Identifier: Use the first two letters of your first name, the first two letters of your last name, and the month of your birthday. For example, for John Smith, born in May, the Unique Identifier would be JOSM05.
