 Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
 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 (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Proposed Project: National Evaluation of the Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families Program: Phase V (OMB No. 0930-0280)—Revision The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), is responsible for the National Evaluation of the comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families Program, which collects data on child mental health outcomes, family life, and service system development and performance. Data will be collected on 30 service systems and roughly 8,810 children and families. The data collection for this evaluation will be conducted for a three-year period. The core of service system data will be collected twice (every 18 to 24 months) during the three-year evaluation period. A sustainability survey will be conducted in selected years. Service delivery and system variables of interest include the following: maturity of system of care development; adherence to the system of care program model; services received by youth and their families, and the costs of those services; and consumer service experience. The length of time that individual families will participate in the study ranges from 18 to 36 months depending on when they enter the evaluation. Child and family outcomes of interest will be collected at intake and during subsequent follow-up interviews at six-month intervals. Client service experience information is collected at these follow-up interviews. Measures included in an outcome interview are determined by the type of assessment (intake or follow-up), child's age, and whether the respondent is the caregiver or a youth. The outcome measures include the following: Child symptomatology and functioning, family functioning, material resources, and caregiver strain. The caregiver interview package includes the Caregiver Information Questionnaire, Child Behavior Checklist, Behavioral and Emotional Rating Scale (BERS), Education Questionnaire, Columbia Impairment Questionnaire, Living Situations Questionnaire, Family Life Questionnaire, and Caregiver Strain Questionnaire at intake, and also 
                    ( print page 15731)
                    includes the Multi-service Sector Contacts Form, Culturally Competence and Service Provision Questionnaire and the Youth Services Survey (a national outcome measurement tool) at follow-up assessments. Caregivers of children under age 6 complete the Vineland Screener to assess development, and do not complete the BERS. The Youth Interview package includes the Youth Information Questionnaire, Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale, Reynolds Depression Scale, BERS (youth version), Delinquency Survey, Substance Use Survey, GAIN-Quick: Substance Dependence Scale, and Youth Services Survey (youth version). The evaluation also includes three special studies: (1) An evidence-based practices study that examines the effects of various factors on the implementation and use of evidence-based treatments and approaches in system of care communities; (2) A cultural and linguistic competence study that examines the extent to which the cultural and linguistic characteristics of communities influence program implementation and provider adaptation of evidence-based treatments, and provider service delivery decisions based on provider culture and language; and (3) An evaluation of the communities' use of reports produced by the national evaluation for continuous quality improvement. The national evaluation measures address the national outcome measures for mental health programs as currently established by SAMHSA. Table 1 summarizes which national evaluation components are unchanged from the original 2006 submission and which are new or changed.

 Internet-based technology will be used for data entry and management, and for collecting data using Web-based surveys. The average annual respondent burden, with detail provided about burden contributed by specific measures, is estimated below. The estimate reflects the average number of respondents in each respondent category, the average number of responses per respondent per year, the average length of time it will take for each response, and the total average annual burden for each category of respondent and for all categories of respondents combined.  Note: Total burden is annualized over a 3-year period. Table 2—Detailed Estimate of Respondent Burden

                         An average of 21 stakeholders in up to 30 grant communities will complete the System of Care Assessment interview. These stakeholders will include site administrative staff, providers, agency representatives, family representatives, and youth.2
                         Number of respondents across 30 grantees. Average based on a 5 percent attrition rate at each data collection point.3
                         Average number of responses per respondent is a weighted average of the possible numbers of responses per respondent for communities beginning data collection in FY2007 and FY2008. The maximum numbers of responses per respondent are for 24 communities beginning data collection in FY2007, 1 follow-up data collection point remaining for children recruited in year 2 (of grant community funding), 3 for children recruited in year 3, 4 for children recruited in year 4, and 4 for children recruited in year 5. The maximum numbers of responses per respondent are, for 6 communities beginning data collection in FY2008, 3 follow-up data collection points remaining for children recruited in year 2 (of grant community funding), 5 for children recruited in year 3, 6 for children recruited in year 4, and 4 for children recruited in year 5.4
                         Approximate number of caregivers with children over age 5, based on Phase V data submitted as of 12/08.5
                         Approximate number of caregivers with children 3 and older, based on Phase V data submitted as of 12/08.6
                         Approximate number of caregivers with children 5 or under, based on Phase V data submitted as of 12/08.7
                         Based on Phase III and IV finding that approximately 60 percent of the children in the evaluation were 11 years old or older.8
                         Respondents only complete Service Experience Study measures at follow-up points. See Footnote #3 for the explanation about the average number of responses per respondent.9
                         Staff will enter data on flexible funds expenditures into a Web-based application or will recode existing data on flexible funds expenditures to match the Flex Funds Data Dictionary format. Each community will use flexible funds expenditures on average for approximately one-quarter of the estimated 356 children/youth enrolled, suggesting a total of 89 children/youth will receive services from flexible funds per community. Thus, there will be data entered for 89*30 = 2,670 children/youth using the Flex Funds Data Dictionary.10
                         Assumes that three expenditures, on average, will be spent on each child/youth receiving flexible fund benefits.11
                         Staff will collect paper-based forms from agencies and enter them into a Web-based application or will extract data from agencies' existing data systems. Staff will recode data to match the Services and Costs Data Dictionary format. Service and costs records will be compiled for all 356*30=10,680 children/youth enrolled.12
                         Assumes that each child/youth will have 100 service episodes, on average, during his/her time in a system of care.13
                         This survey will be administered at 5 sites funded in 2006, 25 sites funded in 2005, 2 sites funded in 2000, and 20 sites funded in 1999.
