Project: Minority AIDS Initiative-Management Reporting Tools (MAI-
MRTs)--(OMB No. 0930-0357)--Revision
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) is requesting
from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the revised
Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) monitoring tools, which includes both
youth and adult questionnaires, as well as the quarterly progress
report. This revision includes the inclusion of new cohorts,
substantial revisions to the youth and adult questionnaires, updates to
the data used to estimate response rates and expected numbers of
participants by service duration (see Table 1 below).
The cohorts of grantees funded by the MAI and included in this
clearance request are:
<bullet> Capacity Building Initiative 2017
<bullet> Capacity Building Initiative 2018
<bullet> Prevention Navigators 2017
<bullet> Prevention Navigators 2019
<bullet> Prevention Navigators 2020
<bullet> Prevention Navigators 2021
The target population for the grantees will be at-risk minority
adolescents and young adults. All MAI grantees are expected to report
their monitoring data using SAMHSA's Strategic Prevention Framework
(SPF) and to target minority populations, as well as other high-risk
groups residing in communities of color with high prevalence of
Substance Abuse and HIV/AIDS. The primary objectives of the monitoring
tools include:
<bullet> Assess the success of the MAI in reducing risk factors and
increasing protective factors associated with the transmission of the
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and other
sexually transmitted diseases (STD).
<bullet> Measure the effectiveness of evidence-based programs and
infrastructure development activities such as: Outreach and training,
mobilization of key stakeholders, substance abuse and HIV/AIDS
counseling and education, testing, referrals to appropriate medical
treatment and/or other intervention strategies (i.e., cultural
enrichment activities, educational and vocational resources, social
marketing campaigns, and computer-based curricula).
<bullet> Investigate intervention types and features that yield the
best outcomes for specific population groups.
[[Page 44738]]
<bullet> Assess the extent to which access to health care was
enhanced for population groups and individuals vulnerable to behavioral
health disparities residing in communities targeted by funded
interventions.
<bullet> Assess the process of adopting and implementing the SPF
with the target populations.
<bullet> Added questions to capture details on the intervention and
the referrals to the record management section (completed by grantee
staff).
