Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a list of information collection 
requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these documents, call 
the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-7978.
    Phase I of the National Evaluation of the Comprehensive Community 
Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families Program (0930-
0171--Extension, revision)--The core and comparison studies of the 
evaluation collect information on child and family demographics, child 
mental health status, and service system development. In the core 
study, data were collected from children and families at intake into 
services, 6 months later, and every 12 months thereafter while the 
children remain in services. In the comparison study component, 
information is collected at intake, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, and 
annually thereafter. In both studies, data were collected annually from 
grantees' administrators and providers.
    SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) is seeking OMB 
approval for a 4-month extension of approval for the comparison study 
of this evaluation of integrated child mental health service systems 
funded by CMHS to allow sufficient follow-up data to be collected. The 
comparison study of the evaluation collects information on child and 
family demographics, and child mental health status and social 
functioning. The table below summarizes burden for this extension.
