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. SAMHSAâs 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.
Currently, there are 78,096 total burden hours in the OMB-approved inventory and SAMHSA is now requesting 104,168 burden hours. The program change is an increase of 26,072 burden hours is due to the addition of the 13 questions on the Adult Measure and seven (7) questions on the Child/Caregiver Measure, the increased number of overall grant programs, the increased frequency of physical health data collection, and the number of respondents receiving mental health treatment services. The estimated time to complete the revised tools has been increased from 35 minutes to 40 minutes, and the estimated time to complete the Section H physical health indicators has been increased from 5 minutes to 15 minutes.
