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 summary 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 (240) 276–1243. 

Project: Evaluation for the Partnerships 

for Success Program—New 

SAMHSA is conducting a cross-site 

evaluation of the Strategic Prevention 

Framework (SPF) Partnerships for 

Success (PFS) program, focusing on the 

PFS II cohort (first funded in 2012), PFS 

2013 cohort (first funded in 2013), and 

PFS 2014 cohort (first funded in 2014) 

at both the grantee and community 

subrecipient levels. Grantees include 

states, jurisdictions, and tribal entities 

that subsequently fund community 

subrecipients to implement substance 

use prevention interventions. The 

overall goals of these SPF PFS cohorts 

is to prevent the onset and reduce the 

progression of substance abuse, 

prioritizing underage drinking (UAD) 

among persons age 12 to 20, 

prescription drug misuse and abuse 

(PDM) among persons age 12 to 25, or 

both; reduce substance abuse-related 

problems; strengthen prevention 

capacity and infrastructure at the 

grantee and community levels; and 

leverage, redirect, and align statewide 

funding streams and resources for 

prevention. 

The SPF–PFS cross-site evaluation 

broadly aims to document and assess 

the factors that contribute to the 

effectiveness of the PFS approach to 

SAMHSA’s mission of reducing UAD 

and PDM, including costs, inputs, 

outputs, and contextual factors. 

Targeted evaluation outcomes include 

both grantee- and community-level 

substance use intervening variables 

(e.g., perceived risk of binge drinking), 

consumption (e.g., past year PDM), and 

consequences (e.g., alcohol or 

prescription drug overdoses), especially 

those related to UAD and PDM. 

The SPF–PFS cross-site evaluation 

will examine infrastructure, with a 

primary focus on monitoring grantees 

and community subrecipients to ensure 

they follow the SPF process, but will 

place a special emphasis on assessing 

capacity changes of the community 

subrecipients who all should be 

purposefully selected for their high 

need and low capacity. Another 

important aspect of the infrastructure 

evaluation for the SPF–PFS cross-site 

will be an examination of leveraged 

partner relationships. In addition, the 

SPF–PFS cross-site evaluation will 

collect detailed data about implemented 

evidence-based interventions, to 

provide a comprehensive typology of 

interventions and assess how various 

types and combinations impact 

outcomes. The SPF PFS cross-site also 

will examine economic issues, 

including associations between funding 

and outcomes and the cost-effectiveness 

of various intervention types and 

combinations. 

The SPF–PFS cross site evaluation is 

expected to have numerous program 

and policy implications and outcomes 

at the national, state, and community 

levels. It will provide valuable 

information to the prevention field 

about best practices in real world 

settings, along with what types of 

adaptations community implementers 

make to evidence based interventions to 

better fit their targeted populations and 

settings. SPF–PFS cross-site findings 

will provide guidance to governmental 

entities and communities as to what 

types of interventions should be funded 

and implemented to reduce UAD and 

PDM. More specifically, this guidance 

will include information on what 

combinations or types of interventions 

work the best. Beyond intervention type 

and cost, the SPF–PFS cross-site 

evaluation also will provide a valuable 

assessment of the importance of 

leveraged funding as well as providing 

information about the process states, 

jurisdictions, tribes, and communities 

undergo to leverage funding. 

Information and guidance about 

leveraging that comes from the SPF–PFS 

cross site evaluation will allow the 

federal government, state, tribes, 

jurisdictions, and local communities to 

more effectively and efficiently use their 

resources and sustain future prevention 

efforts. 

Data collection efforts for the 

evaluation include a Grantee-Level 

Instrument—Revised (GLI–R), a 

Community-Level Instrument—Revised 

(CLI–R), and a Project Director (PD)

Interview which will collect key 

programmatic components 

hypothesized to be associated with 

program effectiveness, such as leveraged 

funding, type of prevention 

intervention, costs, etc.. The SPF PFS 

cross-site instruments have been 

informed by current and previous crosssite evaluation efforts for SAMHSA, 

drawing heavily from lessons learned 

through prior and currently OMBapproved SPF SIG evaluations (OMB 

No. 0930–0279). 

The GLI–R is a web-based instrument 

to be completed by the PFS II, 2013, and 

2014 grantee project directors (n=52), 

once at baseline and once in the final 

grant year. Baseline data for the PFS II 

and 2013 cohorts will be collected 

retrospectively. The GLI–R will provide 

categorical, qualitative, and quantitative 

data related to coordination of State 

efforts, use of strategic plans, access to 

data sources, data management, 

workforce development, cultural 

competence, sharing of evaluation data, 

and sustainability. 

The CLI–R is a web-based instrument 

designed to be completed by the PFS II, 

2013, and 2014 subrecipient community 

project directors (n=610) to assess 

subrecipients’ progress through the SPF 

steps, prevention capacity, intervention 

implementation, and related funding 

and cost measures. The instrument will 

provide process data related to 

leveraging of funding, in-kind services, 

organizational capacity, collaboration 

with community partners, data 

infrastructure, planned intervention 

targets, intervention implementation 

(categorization, costs, adaptation, 

timing, dosage, and reach), cultural 

competence, evaluation, contextual 

factors, training and technical assistance 

needs, and sustainability. The CLI–R 

will be collected semiannually; 

however, not all questions will be 

answered every time. For instance, 

subrecipients will respond to items 

related to organizational capacity only 

at baseline and final follow-up, whereas 

they will respond to intervention 

implementation items every 6 months. 

The PD Interview is a semi-structured 

telephone interview with grantee project 

directors designed to collect more indepth information on subrecipient 

selection, criteria for intervention 

selection, continuation of SPF SIG 

activities, leveraging of funds, 

collaboration, evaluation activities, 

cultural competence policies, processes 

to impact health disparities, and 

challenges faced. The PD Interview will 

be collected at the beginning of the 

grant, in the third year of the grant, and 

in the final year of the grant. Baseline 

data for the PFS II and 2013 cohorts will 

be collected retrospectively and PFS II 

grantees will only participate in the 

interview at the beginning of their final 

year and at the close of their grant.
