SAMHSA and its Centers will use the
data collected for annual reporting required by GPRMA, to describe
and understand changes in outcomes from baseline to follow-up to
discharge. SAMHSA’s report for each fiscal year will include actual
results of performance monitoring for the three preceding fiscal
years. Information collected through this request will allow SAMHSA
to report on the results of these performance outcomes as well as
be consistent with SAMHSA-specific performance domains, and to
assess the accountability and performance of its discretionary
grant programs. The additional information collected through this
request will allow SAMHSA to improve its ability to assess the
impact of its programs on key outcomes of interest and to gather
vital diagnostic information about clients served by CMHS
discretionary grant programs. SAMHSA is in the process of
establishing a new data collection tool for client services which
will be used by discretionary grants from both CMHS and the Center
for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). While working towards this
new combined data collection, SAMHSA is requesting to extend the
time period for data collection using the currently approved tools
without change to the tools.
Currently, there are 68,673
total burden hours in the OMB-approved NOMs client services
collection and SAMHSA is now requesting an increase to 75,178
burden hours. The increase of 6,505 burden hours is due to the
following: • More direct services grantees reporting using the tool
• Additional time allocated for interviews, but also improved
estimates of the number of clients who consent for interview •
Additional time allocated for administrative collection of data,
including the information that is collected for all clients as to
whether they completed an interview or not The estimated time to
complete the baseline, reassessment, and clinical discharge
assessment is 20 minutes to do the interview (0.3) and 6 minutes
(0.1) to complete the administrative sections of the tool for all
clients including those who decline an interview. The estimated
time to complete Section G program-specific measures was increased
from 5 minutes to 6 minutes (0.1), including any administrative
reporting of physical health measures collected as part of routine
medical care (not part of the interview). Currently, there are
7,536 total burden hours in the OMB-approved IPP collection. SAMHSA
is now requesting an increase to 64,000 burden hours. The increase
of 56,464 hours is due to: • More CMHS grantees reporting using the
tool (doubled to 2,000) • Additional time allocated for reporting
each quarter, including time need to pull data from internal
systems maintained by the grantees The estimated amount of time to
collect and report IPP data was increased based on grantee feedback
on time spent reporting from 2 hours to 8 hours per quarter per
grant.
