# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

*Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number:*                     BUMED PHOP Electronic Behavioral Health Intake Assessment; OMB Control Number: 0703-EBHS.                

*Needs and Uses:*                     In 2008, the DoN Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) created the Psychological Health Outreach Program (PHOP) to address potential gaps in behavioral health-related support for all Service Members (and their Family Members) serving in the DoN Reserve and United States Marine Forces Reserve. The PHOP mission includes the provision of preemptive outreach, psychoeducation, assessment, and case management services intended to connect Service Members/Family Members and Reserve Units as a whole to targeted community resources that help reduce stress, promote resiliency, and support mission readiness. The PHOP is staffed by a nationwide Team of fully licensed clinical behavioral health professionals. To support Service Members and Reserve Units, PHOP continuously engages in a cycle of outreach and referral, wherein PHOP Team Members proactively contact, and are contacted by, Service Members and Command Points of Contact to collaborate on and develop action plans intended to address identified psychosocial issues and/or stressors.                

To develop customized action plans in support of Service Members and Reserve Units, PHOP must conduct an assessment of the psychosocial stressors affecting the Service Member or Reserve Unit seeking support. To fully support those experiencing psychological health issues, assessment necessarily includes an evaluation of specific types of issues that may adversely affect one's overall health and wellness. These include an assessment of depressive signs and symptoms, anxiety, trauma-related experiences, alcohol use, sleep quality, and individually identified/reported stressors. Additionally, to ensure PHOP services are delivered to Service Members and Reserve Units with timeliness and accuracy, individual/group contact information must be collected. Moreover, in an effort to provide regionally, culturally, and biologically sensitive support, individual demographics are collected.

*Affected Public:*                     Individuals or households.                

*Annual Burden Hours:*                     970.
