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. 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.
