Introduction
Hello, my name is ______________ and I work with the National Evaluation of SAMHSA’s PATH Program. HSRI though a subcontract from RTI International is conducting the evaluation. I would like to talk to you about participating in the evaluation study.
About the Study
This interview is part of the data collection for a national evaluation effort to ensure that the grantee and local PATH programs are consistent with legislative requirements and to recommend changes to the program design and operation.
We are contacting SPCs and staff from Intermediaries and PATH provider organizations to get their perspectives on their PATH programs. You are one of 28 SPCs, 14 Intermediary staff, and 60 PATH provider staff project who may participate in telephone interviews. We are conducting telephone interviews with a sample of SPCs as well as with Intermediary and PATH provider staff, to explore facilitators and barriers encounter related to specific areas (i.e., outreaching and enrolling consumers and veterans into PATH, use of data, setting annual targets, collaboration with CoCs and other community resources, implementing SOAR, making and persons attaining service referrals). The information gather from the telephone interview will be helpful in making recommendations to program design and operation. These questions were approved by the Department of Health and Human Services, SAMHSA, CMHS.
