Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

    In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 concerning opportunity for public comment on proposed 
collections of information, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health 
Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of 
proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed projects 
or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the 
SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collections of 
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions 
of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology.

Proposed Project: National Evaluation of the Comprehensive Community 
Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families Program: Phase 
VI (OMB No. 0930-0307)--REVISION

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA), Center of Mental Health Services is responsible for the 
national evaluation of the Comprehensive Community Mental Health 
Services for Children and Their Families Program (Children's Mental 
Health Initiative--CMHI) that will collect data on child mental health 
outcomes, family life, and service system development. Data will be 
collected on 47 service systems, and approximately 6,561 children and 
families.
    Principal changes from the previous Phase VI OMB approval include:
    <bullet> Addition of nine (9) communities awarded cooperative 
agreements in FY2010 for data collection.
    <bullet> Replacement of intake and follow-up questionnaires for the 
Child Welfare Sector and Comparison Study with an administrative record 
review form to lessen burden.
    <bullet> Addition of a brief 8-item Education Sector Caregiver 
Questionnaire to the Education Sector and Comparison Study to capture 
family involvement in the development and use of Individualized 
Education Plans (IEPs).
    <bullet> Removal of data collection activities for the Alumni 
Networking Study, the CQI Initiative Evaluation, and the Sustainability 
Study.
    Data collection for this evaluation will be conducted over a five-
year period. Child and family outcomes of interest will be collected at 
intake and during subsequent follow-up sessions at six-month intervals. 
The length of time that individual families will participate in the 
study is up to 24 months. The outcome measures include the following: 
child symptomatology and functioning, family functioning, satisfaction, 
and caregiver strain. The core of service system data will be collected 
every 18-24 months throughout the 5-year evaluation period. Service 
utilization and cost data will be tracked and submitted to the national 
evaluation every six months using two tools: the Flex Fund Tool and the 
Services and Costs Data Tool to estimate average cost of treatment per 
child, distribution of costs, and allocation of costs across service 
categories. Service delivery and system variables of interest include 
the following: maturity of system of care development in funded system 
of care communities, adherence to the system of care program model, and 
client service experience.
    In addition, the evaluation will include one special study: The 
Sector and Comparison Study will examine in more detail the outcomes 
and service experience of children from multiple child-serving sectors 
and, through child-level matching, compare these outcomes with those 
not receiving system of care services.
    Internet-based technology such as data entry and management tools 
will be used in this evaluation. The measures of the national 
evaluation address annual Congressional reporting requirements of the 
program's authorizing legislation, and the national outcome measures 
for mental health programs as currently established by SAMHSA.
    The average annual respondent burden is estimated below. The 
estimate reflects the average number of respondents in each respondent 
category, the average number of responses per respondent per year, the 
average length of time it will take to complete each response, and the 
total average annual burden for each category of respondent, and for 
all categories of respondents combined.
