Proposed Project: Minority AIDS 

Initiative (MAI) Rapid HIV Testing 

Clinical Information Form (OMB No. 

0930–0295)—Revision 

This request is for a three-year generic 

clearance to continue rapid HIV testing 

data collection among 63 TCE–HIV 

Grantees and their clients and the 

additional 11 MAI–HIV Grantees and 

their clients. The primary purpose of the 

MAI Rapid HIV Testing Clinical 

Information Form is to use a 

standardized data collection instrument 

to fully capture essential clinical 

information to enhance preventive 

services for those who test HIV-negative 

and refer to quality treatment/medical 

care those who test HIV-positive. 

The aim of the project is to implement 

and increase rapid HIV testing among 

racial and ethnic minorities and collect 

rapid HIV testing data using the MAI 

Rapid HIV Testing Clinical Information 

Form. To meet this requirement, all 

Grantees must offer their clients rapid 

HIV preliminary antibody testing during 

outreach, pretreatment, or program 

enrollment. In addition, rapid HIV 

testing may be made available to the 

sexual and/or injection partners of 

clients. Grantees must provide onsite 

rapid HIV testing in accordance with 

their respective State and local 

requirements. If a client requests an offsite rapid HIV test, the Grantee must 

provide a referral to a rapid HIV testing 

site certified by the local health 

department. 

Grantees are currently using the MAI 

Rapid HIV Testing Clinical Information 

Form in the field to systematically 

collect information from clients on 

demographics, previous rapid HIV test 

results, substance use and sexual risk 

behaviors, current rapid HIV test results, 

types of services received, and 

confirmatory HIV test result. Once a 

client is offered a rapid HIV test, the 

Grantee staff completes the MAI Rapid 

HIV Testing Clinical Information Form 

with the client present and then enters 

the data into a secure Web site that 

allows for real-time data submission. 

The estimated annualized burden is 

summarized below.

Proposed Project: 2013 National Survey 

on Drug Use and Health—(OMB No. 

0930–0110)—Revision 

The National Survey on Drug Use and 

Health (NSDUH) is a survey of the 

civilian, non-institutionalized 

population of the United States 12 years 

old and older. The data are used to 

determine the prevalence of use of 

tobacco products, alcohol, illicit 

substances, and illicit use of 

prescription drugs. The results are used 

by SAMHSA, ONDCP, Federal 

government agencies, and other 

organizations and researchers to 

establish policy, direct program 

activities, and better allocate resources. 

Data from clinical interviews 

completed in 2008 were combined with 

the main interview short scale data to 

develop a predictive model that was 

applied to the full main sample to 

estimate SMI. Follow-up clinical 

interviews continued to be conducted 

with NSDUH respondents from 2009 to 

2012. Data from these interviews were 

analyzed annually to update the 

calibration of the screening measure. To 

maximize trend validity, this model has 

been applied to 2009–2011 data. With 

the completion of 1500 clinical 

interviews in 2012, SAMHSA will have 

accumulated a large enough sample 

(4,500) to update and improve the 

models. Therefore, the MHSS clinical 

interviewing will be discontinued in 

2013. 

For the 2013 NSDUH, a few 

questionnaire changes are proposed. 

The instrument has been updated to 

include new questions on military 

service, medical marijuana, physician 

substance use screening, and 

respondent characteristics. 

As with all NSDUH/NHSDA surveys 

conducted since 1999, the sample size 

of the survey for 2013 will be sufficient 

to permit prevalence estimates for each 

of the fifty states and the District of 

Columbia. The total annual burden 

estimate is shown below:
