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 will publish

periodic summaries of proposed

projects. To request more information

copy of the information collection

plans, call the SAMHSA Reports

Proposed Project

Evaluation of Treatment Improvement

Protocol (TIP) No. 24—New—Since

1992, the Center for Substance Abuse

Treatment (CSAT) has published 26

Treatment Improvement Protocols

(TIPs), which provide administrative

and clinical practice guidance to the

substance abuse treatment field. Up to

six special studies will be conducted to

evaluate the impact of TIPs. The first of

these will evaluate the dissemination

and impact of TIP No. 24—Guide to

Substance Abuse Services for Primary

Care Clinicians—on the clinical

practices of primary care physicians and

related health professionals. The

information contained in the document

has been published in three alternative

lengths and formats: the complete TIP,

a Concise Desk Reference, and a Pocket

Reference Guide.

This study will examine the

dissemination methods used by CSAT;

the success of those methods in

reaching the target audiences; users’

perceptions of the value of the

alternative versions; decisions to

implement the guidance presented in

TIPs; and the successes, correlates, and

barriers associated with

implementation. The study will use a

one-group posttest-only design and will

survey five distinct target audiences of

interest to CSAT: (1) the key

administrative staff, regional

representatives, and Board members of

primary care associations, physician

groups, and primary health care

provider associations; (2) members of

the American Academy of Family

Physicians; (3) the American Society of

Internal Medicine; (4) the American

Academy of Physician Assistants; and

(5) the American Nurses Association.

Measures will include employment

characteristics and outcomes associated

with the following variables: TIP

version received; awareness, receipt,

and reading of the TIP; perceived utility

of the TIP; and the impact of the TIP on

changing clinical practices. The

estimated annualized burden for a 1-

year data collection period is

summarized below.
