This collection is in response to the requirements set out by The National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2013 (NDAA), Pub. L. 112-239. Section 726 of the NDAA requires VA to "develop and implement a comprehensive set of measures to assess mental health care services furnished by the Department of Veterans Affairs." Responding to this requirement, a VA workgroup therefore developed a plan for a brief survey of a representative sample of patients who are new to mental health treatment. Data collected will allow the program office to ensure that the target audience is being reached, effective treatments are being offered, and tangible, quantitative results are being measured and tracked for continual program improvement.
