Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

Periodically, the Substance Abuse and 

Mental Health Services Administration 

(SAMHSA) will publish a summary of 

information collection requests under 

OMB review, in compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). To request a copy of these

Project: An Exploration of Peer 

Recovery Support Services Across State 

Behavioral Health Systems—NEW 

The Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration 

(SAMHSA), Center for Behavioral 

Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ) 

is proposing a pilot study to obtain an 

overview of peer recovery services 

across state behavioral health systems. 

In an effort to support behavioral health 

systems’ adoption and management of 

recovery oriented services, SAMHSA 

created the Bringing Recovery Supports 

to Scale Technical Assistance Center 

Strategy (BRSS TACS). BRSS TACS is a 

mechanism for implementing 

SAMHSA’s Recovery Support Strategic 

Initiative. A goal of this initiative is to 

understand the finance and quality 

assurance issues that impact the 

development of peer recovery personnel 

in the workforce and the services they 

deliver. A grasp of these complex issues 

can enable BRSS TACS to advance its 

work of supporting states by creating 

policy guidance on best practices for 

effectively deploying peer recovery 

support services in integrated healthcare 

delivery systems as mandated by the 

Affordable Care Act. 

The proposed pilot study will utilize 

a semi-structured interview 

questionnaire with state and 

organizational representatives from 

mental health and substance abuse 

agencies. Questions of interest include 

(1) an examination of how 

reimbursement of peer support services 

is linked to peer roles, delivery settings, 

and funding streams; (2) quality 

assurance issues such as credentialing 

and supervision of peer support 

personnel; (3) procedures for 

monitoring, evaluating, and sustaining 

peer support services; and (4) challenges 

of delivering peer recovery services in 

the era of Affordable Care Act. 

The representatives (n=40) from state 

and organizational agencies of mental 

health and substance abuse will 

represent a state from the 10 public 

health regions. States are identified by 

SAMHSA subject matter experts and 

stakeholders who are familiar with the 

structure and function of peer recovery 

support services. The sampling 

recommended by SAMHSA experts and 

stakeholders is a selection of states that 

have a strong history of providing peer 

led services and have an active peerbased organization. 

The total estimated respondent 

burden is 20 hours for the period from 

April 2014 through September 2014.

respondent burden estimate.
