*Needs and Uses:*                     The information collection requirement is necessary to receive verbal feedback from U.S. Air Force embedded mental healthcare providers (who are contractors) on their experiences providing mental healthcare services to airmen within the unit. These interviews are part of a programmatic improvement study to examine the experiences of embedded mental healthcare providers as well as the airmen that they serve in order to improve delivery of care. The results of this short-term study will be used to shape line and medical leadership strategies geared toward improving embedded mental healthcare capabilities for airmen in tip-of-the-spear communities, as well as readiness and availability of airmen in these environments.                

*Affected Public:*                     Individuals or households.

*Responses per Respondent:*                     1.                

*Annual Responses:*                     30.                

*Average Burden per Response:*                     30 minutes.                

*Frequency:*                     Annually.                

                    Respondents are U.S. Air Force embedded mental healthcare providers (                    *e.g.,*                     psychologists, social workers) who are embedded within units to provide on-the-spot consultation to airmen. Embedded mental healthcare providers are comprised of U.S. Air Force military members, civilians, and contractors. This Information Collection Notice is to speak with contractors, specifically, in an embedded mental healthcare role about the barriers and strategies encountered in their role.
