SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Assessing the Implementation 

and Effectiveness of DOD’s Lethal 

Means Safety (LMS) Outreach Materials; 

OMB Control Number 0704–ALOM. 

Needs and Uses: The Deputy 

Secretary of Defense recently directed 

implementation of Service/Component 

tailored lethal means safety (LMS) 

plans, which leverage the Defense 

Suicide Prevention Office’s (DSPO’s) 

LMS suite of evidence-informed tools. 

In accordance with guidance, and with 

recommendations from the Government 

Accountability Office to assess the 

efficacy of nonclinical suicide 

prevention efforts, DSPO aims to help 

the Services and Components conduct a 

thorough evaluation of their LMS 

outreach efforts. 

DSPO has contracted with CNA to 

assist the Services and Components in 

meeting the requirements set forth in 

DOD Instruction 6490.16 that all suicide 

prevention activities are developed from 

a relevant evidence-base and have an 

evaluation capability prior to 

implementation. CNA, in conjunction 

with the participating Services and 

Components (i.e., Air Force, Army, 

Navy, and SOCOM), propose the 

following information collections 

focused on specific to the needs of each 

respective Service/Component to assess 

the implementation, acceptability, and/ 

or effect of their specific LMS activities 

and materials. Depending on the nature 

of the selected evaluation activities, 

study data will be collected via key 

informant (KI) interviews and/or a 

survey. 

Air Force: The intent of the voluntary 

Air Force Time-Based Prevention (TBP) 

KI Interviews is to help the Air Force 

gain a better understanding of the 

implementation and utility of the Air 

Force’s TBP communications and 

messaging, as well as barriers to 

implementation. 

Army: The intent of voluntary Army 

LMS Toolkit Key Personnel Baseline 

and Follow-up Interviews is to consult 

with key Army personnel to gain a 

better understanding of the 

implementation and utility of the 

Army’s new LMS Toolkit. 

Navy: The intent of voluntary Navy 

Gun Lock Distribution KI interviews is 

to help the Navy evaluate their gun lock 

distribution efforts and learn how the 

Navy may improve its safe storage 

practice materials, outreach, and 

implementation efforts. 

Navy: The intent of the voluntary 

Navy Community Lethal Means Safety 

Survey is to learn about the Navy 

community’s awareness of current lethal 

means safety programs, preferences for 

safety devices and safe storage locations, 

and thoughts about the place of safety 

in Navy culture. 

SOCOM: The intent of the voluntary 

SOCOM LMS Integrated Performance 

Plan (IPP) KI Interviews is to help 

SOCOM gain a better understanding of 

the implementation and utility of 

SOCOM’s LMS IPP and learn how the 

SOCOM Suicide Prevention program 

may improve its LMS materials, 

outreach, and implementation efforts. 

The Services and Components will 

use the results of their respective 

voluntary KI interviews and/or survey 

to tailor their LMS activities, materials, 

messaging, training, and outreach efforts 

to maximize their effectiveness with 

their Service members and 

communities. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households.
