Their Families Program: Phase Two—

New—The national evaluation of the

Comprehensive Community Mental

Health Services for Children and Their

Families Program will collect data on

child mental health outcomes, family

life, and service system development

and performance. Data will be collected

on roughly 5487 children and families,

and 25 service systems (21 funded

systems of care and 4 comparison

systems). Child and family outcomes of

interest include the following: child

symptomatology and functioning,

family functioning, material resources,

and caregiver strain. Delivery system

variables of interest include the

following: maturity of system of care

development, adherence to system of

care principles, coordination and

linkages among agencies, and

intervention fidelity.

Data collection for this evaluation will

be conducted over a five year period.

The amount of time that families will

participate in the study ranges from 18

to 36 months depending on when they

enter the evaluation. The core of service

system data will be collected annually

for all five years, with a provider survey

conducted in selected years. The total

annual burden is estimated below.

Proposed Project

Evaluation of the HHS Access to

Community Care and Effective Services

and Supports (ACCESS) Program—

0930–0164—Revision—The Center for

Mental Health Services (CMHS) is

seeking OMB approval to expand this

evaluation study that is assessing

service systems integration (SI)

approaches for homeless persons with

severe mental illnesses. The expansion

is for conduct of 18 month follow-up

interviews on the fourth cohort of

homeless clients, a fourth wave of

interviews with providers of services to

homeless persons, and state and local

level implementation data from the

project staff. SI sites will be contrasted

with comparison sites to assess the longterm impact of SI. Case studies will

describe approaches to SI, processes by

which SI takes place and factors that

influence SI. The table below

summarizes the annualized burden for

this project.
