This information will be gathered using a uniform data collection tool provided by SAMHSA.

Additional information about SPARS can be found on the SPARS website HERE. Data will be collected and reported quarterly in SPARS.

We will be providing a training on these measures and how to input data into the system early after award as well as a SPARS Indicator Cheat Sheet with examples and additional information.

988 call, chat, and text response data (“PPA” – project performance assessment)

You are required to collect data regarding all 988 calls, chats, and text interactions that:

1. Include suicide attempts in progress.

2. Result in emergency rescue – with law enforcement

3. Result in emergency rescue – without law enforcement

   1. By ‘without law enforcement,’ we mean not just MCOT but also EMS or other models of emergency rescue that you use in your state or territory. You will include information about what this means in your state or territory in the quarterly progress report.

4. Result in mobile crisis outreach referrals.

5. Identify individuals in substance use crisis.

You will also need to attempt to collect the following demographic data on individuals who are served through 988, including through the specified interactions above.

• Race

• Ethnicity

• Age

• Sexual orientation

Provision of demographic information is not a requirement for eligibility or receipt of 988 services. These data will be collected monthly and reported in aggregate as part of the quarterly report. You will receive a template for this report.
