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

on the proposed projects or to obtain a

copy of the information collection

plans, call the SAMHSA Reports

Clearance Officer on (301) 443–7978.

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

Evaluation of the CMHS/CSAT

Collaborative Program On Homeless

Families: Women With Psychiatric,

Substance Use, Or Co-Occurring

Disorders and Their Dependent

Children, Phase II—New—SAMHSA’s

Center for Mental Health Services

(CMHS) and Center for Substance Abuse

Treatment (CSAT), through a set of

cooperative agreements, proposes to

conduct a longitudinal, multi-site

evaluation study assessing mental

health, substance abuse, and trauma

interventions received by homeless

mothers with psychiatric, substance use,

or co-occurring disorders and their

dependent children. The study will

advance knowledge on appropriate and

effective approaches to improving

families residential stability, overall

functioning, and ultimate selfsufficiency.

Data collection will be conducted

over a 33-month period. A total of 2,000

participants will be recruited from eight

to ten sites. At each site, a documented

treatment intervention will be tested in

comparison to an alternative treatment

condition. Participants will be

interviewed at baseline (within two

weeks of entering a program) as well as

three additional times (3 months after

program entry, 9 months after program

entry, and 15 months after program

entry). Trained interviewers will

administer the interviews to

participating mothers. Information on

the children will be obtained from the

mother.

Key outcomes for the mothers are

increased residential stability, decreased

substance use, decreased psychological

distress, improved mental health

functioning, increased trauma recovery,

improved health, improved functioning

as a parent, and decreased personal

violence. Outcomes for the children are

reduced emotional/behavioral problems

and improved school attendance.

To reduce burden and increase

uniformity across the study sites, a

central Coordinating Center will

develop and administer common data

entry and tracking computer programs.

A variety of quality control procedures

will also be implemented to ensure the

integrity and uniformity of the data

collected. Data will be submitted to the

Coordinating Center via electronic

means. Training and technical

assistance will be provided to all sites

on data submission. Sites will be asked

to follow uniform procedures for

submitting their data.

The estimated response burden is as

follows:
