Substance Abuse and Mental Health

Services Administration

Agency Information Collection

Activities: Submission for OMB

Review; Comment Request

Periodically, the Substance Abuse and

Mental Health Services Administration

(SAMHSA) will publish a list 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

documents, call the SAMHSA Reports

Clearance Officer on (301) 443–8005.

Proposed Project

State Prevention Needs Assessments:

Alcohol and Other Drugs—New—

SAMHSA’s Center for Substance Abuse

Prevention (CSAP) has awarded

contracts to several States (Cohort III) to

collect data to assess the nature and

extent of substance abuse prevention

services needs. In addition, the data

collection from these States will be used

to pilot test several instruments and

methodologies to determine standard

measures and methodologies to be used

by the next cohort of States (Cohort IV)

funded to conduct needs assessment

studies.

Data will be collected in school

surveys, community-based prevention

resource assessments (CRA), and special

population studies. The information

collected in this project will be

combined with existing sources and

may use multiple approaches to assess

risk and protective factors for substance

use, prevention service needs, and

substance abuse prevalence. These

needs assessment studies will permit

cross-State comparisons of predictor

variables to assist Federal program

planning, allocating resources, and

responding to the Government

Performance and Results Act (GPRA).

The estimated annualized burden for

the five-year project is shown below.
