Project: Assessment of the Communities 

Talk To Prevent Alcohol and Other 

Drug Misuse (Formerly Communities 

Talk To Prevent Underage Drinking— 

OMB No. 0930–0288) Revision 

The Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration/Center 

for Substance Abuse Prevention 

(SAMHSA/CSAP) is requesting a 

revision from the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for the information 

collection regarding the Assessment of 

the Communities Talk to Prevent 

Alcohol and Other Drug Misuse 

initiative, which is implemented by the 

Substance Use Disorder Prevention 

Engagement Initiatives (SUDPEI) within 

CSAP. Communities Talk activities are 

grassroots activities that raise awareness 

of the public health dangers of 

substance misuse and engage 

communities in evidence-based 

prevention, particularly to individuals 

aged 12–25 years old. In this survey, 

substance use disorder (SUD) questions 

refers to any alcohol or drugs used in 

the 12 months prior to the survey and 

the language ‘‘alcohol and other drug 

misuse’’ will be used to ask questions 

about SUDs throughout the survey. 

Alcohol misuse includes any underage 

use of alcohol. Other drug misuse 

includes use of marijuana, cocaine 

(including crack), heroin, hallucinogens, 

inhalants, methamphetamine, and any 

use of prescription stimulants, 

tranquilizers or sedatives (e.g., 

benzodiazepines), and pain relievers.1

The data collection was most recently 

reinstated under OMB No. 0930–0288, 

Assessment of the Town Hall Meetings 

on Underage Drinking Prevention, 

which expires on May 31, 2025. 

Changes 

Under the most recent approval, the 

Organizer Survey consisted of 14 items. 

Under this amendment, the Organizer 

Survey includes 12 items about 

Communities Talk activities and how 

communities might be carrying out 

evidence-based strategies to prevent 

alcohol and other drug misuse. The 

following table provides a summary of 

the changes that were made to the 

instrument. 

Current question/item Changes made 

Burden statement ..................................................................................... Updated with language provided by SAMHSA to include ‘‘alcohol and 

other drug misuse’’ verbiage: ‘This information is being collected to 

assist the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for the purpose of program monitoring of the Communities Talk to Prevent Alcohol and Other Drug Misuse initiative. 

This voluntary information collected will be used at an aggregate 

level to assess the Communities Talk stipend recipients’ experiences 

with the events and alcohol and other drug misuse prevention activities deployed by their organizations or institutions. Under the Privacy 

Act of 1974, any personally identifying information obtained will be 

kept private to the extent of the law. An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of 

information unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management

Current question/item Changes made 

Informed consent ...................................................................................... Updated to include new ‘‘alcohol and other drug misuse’’ verbiage provided by SAMSHA: ‘The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) invites prevention specialists working 

individually or as part of a coalition to fill out this survey. A coalition 

refers to any group of individuals or organizations working together. 

This survey asks about your possible experiences with Communities 

Talk to Prevent Alcohol and Other Drug Misuse and how your community might be carrying out evidence-based strategies addressing 

alcohol and other drug misuse. Evidence-based strategies have 

been evaluated and found to have positive effects on the people 

being targeted. The survey should take approximately 15 minutes. 

Your participation is completely voluntary. You can stop at any time. 

Refusal to participate will not affect your employment, funding for 

your work, or result in any other penalty or loss of benefit. The evaluation team will keep your survey answers in a password-protected 

computer folder. It will be accessed only by the evaluation team. The 

evaluation team will summarize everyone’s answers in a report. The 

evaluation team will keep your name and contact information separate from your answers. We collect your name and contact information only to monitor who has already completed the survey, as to not 

request more than one response per organization. The report will not 

identify you and the person documenting survey completions will not 

analyze the data. Your thoughts are very important. They will help 

SAMHSA improve how it supports community-based prevention efforts. If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Genevieve Martinez-Garcia or Sarah Caban, Study Administrators, at info@

stopalcoholabuse.net. 

By continuing, you are consenting to participate in this survey on behalf of your coalition or you.’

Item deleted. 

Two new questions were added 

pertaining to the types of substance use 

topics used in alcohol and other drug 

misuse prevention activities (q4), types 

of organizations that respondents’ 

organization collaborates with (q10), 

and how many partners they engage 

with on activities monthly (q11). 

The revisions were necessary to better 

align the data gathered to the short-term 

and long-term outcomes of the 

Communities Talk activities for 

organizers, specifically: 

Short-Term 

• Increase organization’s efforts 

related to a holistic approach to 

substance use prevention, beyond solely 

underage drinking. 

• Increase staff’s perceived threat of 

alcohol and other drug misuse to 

residents of the community; 

• Increase staff’s knowledge related to 

using evidence-based approaches to 

carry out future alcohol and other drug 

misuse prevention activities; 

• Increase staff’s perceived efficacy of 

Communities Talk to enhance alcohol 

and other drug misuse prevention in the 

community; 

• Increase staff’s skills related to 

using evidence-based approaches to 

carry out future alcohol and other drug 

misuse prevention activities, 

specifically share information about 

alcohol and other drug misuse with 

others, host meetings or discussion 

groups; create committees, task forces, 

advisory boards, or other action groups; 

build coalitions; develop strategic plans; 

and advocate for policies; 

• Increase staff’s self-efficacy related 

to using evidence-based approaches to 

carry out future alcohol and other drug 

misuse prevention activities; and 

• Increase staff’s intention related to 

using evidence-based approaches to 

carry out future alcohol and other drug 

misuse prevention activities. 

Long-Term 

• Increase staff’s use of evidencebased approaches to carry out future 

alcohol and other drug misuse 

prevention activities. 

• Reduce burden on the respondents 

by removing the option to be contacted 

for a follow-up assessment. 

Organizer Survey—Follow-Up 

The Organizer Survey—Follow-Up 

has been discontinued in alignment 

with SAMHSA’s focus on annual 

assessments of Communities Talk 

activities, instead of bi-annual 

assessments. 

SAMHSA/CSAP will be responsible 

for collecting, compiling, analyzing, and 

reporting on information requested in 

these surveys. 

SAMHSA supports nationwide 

Communities Talk activities every year. 

Collecting data on each round of 

Communities Talk and using this 

information to inform policy and 

measure impact connects with 

SAMHSA’s Strategic Plan FY2019– 

FY2023, specifically ‘‘Objective 3.2: 

Expand community engagement around 

substance use prevention, treatment, 

and recovery’’ (SAMHSA, 2018). 

Communities Talk activities are 

intended to work at the grassroots level 

to raise awareness of the public health 

dangers of alcohol and other drug 

misuse and to engage communities in 

evidence-based prevention. Notably, 

Communities Talk activities provide a 

forum for communities to discuss ways 

they can best prevent alcohol and other 

drug misuse by reducing the availability 

of alcohol and other drugs and by 

creating community norms that 

discourage demand. 

SAMHSA will use the information 

collected to document the 

implementation efforts of this 

nationwide initiative, determine if the 

federally sponsored Communities Talk 

activities lead to additional activities 

within the community that are aimed at 

preventing and reducing alcohol and 

other drug misuse, identify what these 

activities may possibly include, and 

help plan for future rounds of 

Communities Talk. SAMHSA intends to 

post online a summary document of 

each round of Communities Talk 

activities and present findings at 

national conferences attended by CBOs 

and IHEs that have hosted these 

activities and might do so again in the 

future. Similarly, SAMHSA plans to 

share findings with the Interagency 

Coordinating Committee on the 

Prevention of Underage Drinking. 

Agencies within this committee 

encourage their grantees to participate 

in Communities Talk. Additionally, the 

information collected will support 

performance measurement for SAMHSA 

programs under the Government 

Performance Results Act (GPRA). 

Data Collection Component 

SAMHSA/CSAP will use a web-based 

method, such as Voxco, to collect data 

through the Organizer Survey. The webbased application will comply with the 

requirements of Section 508 of the 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1

Rehabilitation Act to permit 

accessibility to people with disabilities. 

On an annual basis, the Organizer 

Survey—Initial will be completed by an 

estimated 500 Communities Talk 

activity organizers and will require only 

one response per respondent. It will 

take an average of 15 minutes (0.25 

hours) to review the instructions and 

complete the survey. This burden 

estimate is based on comments from 

three 2019 Communities Talk activity 

organizers who reviewed the survey and 

provided comments on how long it 

would take them to complete it.
