participants. The PiT HR Survey has 

been designed to answer questions that 

cannot be answered with existing data 

with minimal burden on grantees and 

respondents. It strengthens the 

evaluation by including participant 

voice. 

Most HR programs will administer the 

survey electronically on a tablet using 

the web-based survey. Tablets will be 

provided to the harm reduction grantees 

for this purpose during the survey 

administration period. The tablets will 

include an offline data collection 

function, which utilizes an app that 

runs directly from the tablet and collects 

and securely stores data on the tablet 

until or unless the tablet is connected to 

Wi-Fi. Once the tablet is connected to 

Wi-Fi, stored surveys are automatically 

uploaded to a secure online database 

and are no longer accessible on the 

tablet. Utilizing the offline data 

collection functions ensures that 

programs can participate even if they do 

not have stable Wi-Fi connections. In 

addition, the audio-enabled feature will 

assist participants who want to take the 

survey but have vision difficulties or 

lower literacy levels without requiring 

staff to read the survey questions to 

them. Once uploaded, survey data will 

be easily accessible by the PEERS 

evaluation staff who have access to the 

project survey system, allowing staff to 

provide ongoing data quality monitoring 

throughout the process. Grantees will 

receive financial compensation to 

support their efforts to recruit and 

administer the survey. 

A pen-and-paper version of the PiT 

HR Survey will be available to grantees 

who would prefer this approach when 

conducting outreach in the community 

where the use of the tablets may raise 

staff safety risks. Programs that provide 

outreach services may elect to use the 

pen-and-paper or the tablet version of 

the survey depending on their 

preferences and the communities they 

serve. The pen-and-paper version of the 

survey would be read aloud by staff to 

address literacy concerns. Completed 

paper surveys will be stored in locked 

cabinets in the HR Grantee Program 

offices and mailed via certified mail to 

the PEERS office. PEERS will 

immediately store the paper survey in 

locked cabinets, accessible only to the 

PEERS evaluation team. The raw data 

will be entered into SPSS and stored on 

password-protected computers requiring 

multifactor authentication. No person 

outside of the PEERS evaluation team 

will have access to the data. All data 

will be closely safeguarded, and no 

institutional or individual identifiers 

will be used in reports. Only aggregated 

data will be reported. SAMHSA and its 

contractors will not receive identifiable 

participant records. 

Those who participate in the survey 

will receive a $25 Visa gift card to 

compensate them for the 25-minute 

duration of the PiT HR Survey, which 

includes time for recruitment, consent, 

survey completion, and gift card receipt. 

The primary consequence of not 

collecting the PiT HR survey data is that 

CSAP would not have current 

information to understand (1) whether 

the target populations of the Harm 

Reduction Grant Program are being 

reached; (2) whether the service needs 

of the target populations are being met; 

and (3) the barriers target populations 

face in utilizing HR services to inform 

future grant programs. No other HR 

evaluation component brings in the 

often-overlooked voice of the recipients 

of HR services and supplies. 

The PiT HR Survey is cross-sectional, 

therefore the data will be collected only 

once from any survey participant. 

Individual grantees vary from small 

entities to large provider organizations. 

Every effort has been made to minimize 

the number of survey items asked of 

respondents down to the least number 

of items necessary to accomplish the 

objectives described within. As a result, 

there is no significant impact on small 

entities. 

Estimated Total Burden for Harm 

Reduction Point-in-Time Data 

Collection 

The estimates in this table reflect the 

maximum annual burden for the 

proposed PiT HR Survey at the 25 HR 

grantee sites funded through May 2025. 

These estimates are based on informal 

pilot testing of the instrument among 

PEERS staff.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

certain areas of the State of Kansas resulting 

from severe storms, straight-line winds,

April 25 to April 30, 2024, is of sufficient

Further, you are authorized to make 

changes to this declaration for the approved
