DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
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. To request a copy of these documents, call the SAMHSA
Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-0361.
Project: Revision of Mental Health Client/Participant Outcome Measures
and Infrastructure, Prevention, and Mental Health Promotion Indicators
(OMB No. 0930-0285)
SAMHSA is requesting approval from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for revisions to the previously approved instruments and
data collection activities for the Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) Center Mental Health Services (OMB No 0930-0285) that
expires on February 28, 2022.
To be fully accountable for the spending of federal funds, SAMHSA
requires all programs to collect and report data to ensure that program
goals and objectives are met. Data is collected and used to monitor and
improve performance of each program and ensure appropriate and
thoughtful spending of federal funds.
SAMHSA requests the following revisions to the NOMS Mental Health
Client/Participant Outcome measures: (1) Merge the CMHS NOMS Child
Client-level Measures for Discretionary Programs data collection
instrument with the current CMHS NOMS Adult Client-level Measures for
Discretionary Programs data collection instrument; (2) delete questions
for data not being utilized for program monitoring and quality
improvement; (3) reduce grantee burden by shifting questions for a
five-point psychometric response scale to ``Yes'', ``No'', and ``No
response/Refused'' responses; (4) modify IDC-10 diagnoses to expand the
F 40-48, F60-63, and F90-99 codes to allow for more specificity. Also,
add ICD-10 ``Z'' codes to allow for a focus on social determinants of
health that may affect the diagnosis, course, prognosis, or treatment
of a client/consumer mental disorder; (6) shift reporting NOMS data to
baseline assessment, 3-month or 6-month reassessment, and a final
clinical discharge assessment; (7) reduce the number of physical health
indictors and reporting frequency from quarterly to three points in
time (baseline, 3- or 6-month reassessment, clinical discharge).
SAMHSA also requests the following revisions to the Infrastructure,
Prevention, and Mental Health Promotion indicators:
(1) Delete four indicators not used by any SAMSHA programs: PD1:
The number of policy changes completed as a result of the grant;
WD4: The number of changes made to credentialing and licensing
policies in order to incorporate expertise needed to improve mental
health-related practices/activities; F1: The amount of additional
funding obtained for specific mental health-related practices/
activities that are consistent with the goals of the grant; and O2:
The total number of contacts made through program outreach efforts).
(2) Revise two indicators to provide more clarity A3: The number
of communities that enhance health information-sharing for provision
of services between agencies and program; and A1: The number of
grant project activities in which fidelity is monitored as a result
of the grant); and
(3) Add eleven indicators to reflect program developments during
the past three years: R2: The number of individuals referred to
trauma-informed care services as a result of the grant; R3: The
number of individuals referred to crisis or other mental health
services for suicidality; S2: The number of individuals screened for
trauma-related experiences as a result of the grant; S3: The number
of individuals screened for suicidal ideation as a result of the
grant; T5: The number of activities modified, adapted, or changed to
reflect trauma-informed practices for the population(s) being served
by the grant; T6: The number of activities modified, adapted, or
changed to reflect culturally appropriate services for the
population(s) being served by the grant; T7: As a result of the
grant, reduce the percentage of individuals who died by suicide; and
T8: As a result of the grant, reduce the number of individuals who
attempted suicide).
These changes will lessen grantee burden with data collection and
improve capacity to report qualitative performance and quantitative
outcomes for all discretionary grant programs, including: Demographic
characteristics of clients' served; clinical characteristics of
clients' served before, during, and after receipt of services; numbers
of clients served; and characteristics of services and activities
provided to clients'.
Currently, the information collected from this instrument is
entered and stored on SAMHSA's Performance Accountability and Reporting
System (SPARS), a real-time, performance management system that
captures information on mental health and substance abuse treatment
services delivered in the United States. Continued approval of this
information collection will allow SAMHSA to continue to meet Government
Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRMA) reporting
requirements that quantify the effects and accomplishments of its
discretionary grant programs, which are consistent with OMB guidance.
SAMHSA and its Centers will use the data collected for annual
reporting required by required by GPRMA, to describe and understand
changes in outcomes from baseline to follow-up to discharge. SAMHSA and
its Centers will use the data for annual reporting comparing baseline
with discharge and follow-up data. SAMHSA's report for each fiscal year
will include actual results of performance monitoring for the three
preceding fiscal years. Information collected through this request will
allow SAMHSA to report on the results of these performance outcomes as
well as be consistent with SAMHSA-specific performance domains, and to
assess the
[[Page 2882]]
accountability and performance of its discretionary and formula grant
programs. The additional information collected through this request
will allow SAMHSA to improve its ability to assess the impact of its
programs on key outcomes of interest and to gather vital diagnostic
information about clients served by discretionary grant programs.
The requested changes will result in a reduction of total burden
hours. Currently, there are 104,168 total burden hours in the OMB-
approved inventory. SAMSHA is requesting a reduction to 68,673 hours or
an estimated decrease of 35,494 burden hours. The proposed estimate of
time to collect data and complete the instruments is shown in Table 1.
