Proposed Project: Assessment of Communities Talk To Prevent Underage
Drinking--(OMB No. 0930-0288)--Reinstatement
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration/
Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (SAMHSA/CSAP) is requesting a
reinstatement from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) of
information collection regarding the Assessment of Communities Talk to
Prevent Underage Drinking, which is implemented by the Underage
Drinking Prevention Education Initiatives (UADPEI) within CSAP. The
most recent data collection was approved under OMB No. 0930-0288,
Assessment of the Town Hall Meetings on Underage Drinking Prevention,
which expired on May 31, 2020. Revisions were made to the Organizer
Survey; it can be completed twice, namely after a round of Communities
Talk events/activities (activities) from February 2022 to April 2022,
and as a follow-up one year later from February 2023 to April 2023. The
Organizer Survey--6 month Follow-up and Participant Form (English and
Spanish versions) were dropped.
Changes
Under the most recent approval, the Organizer Survey consisted of
20 items. Under this revision, the Organizer Survey includes 14 items
about the Communities Talk initiative and how communities might be
carrying out evidence-based strategies to prevent underage drinking
(UAD). The following table provides a summary of the changes that were
made to the instrument.

Seven new questions were added pertaining to number of Communities Talk
activities that have ever taken place in the community (q2),
preparation (tied or not tied to Communities Talk) completed to help
organizers carry out evidence-based strategies to prevent UAD in their
community (q4), confidence to carry out tasks related to evidence-based
prevention (q7), current work to carry out evidence-based strategies
(q8), perceived efficacy of Communities Talk to enhance UAD prevention
in the community (q10), type of organization represented by respondent
(q13), and audiences targeted by respondent's organization (q14). Some
of these items (i.e., q4, q7, and q8) are modified versions of
instruments validated by Chinman et al. (2008).
The revisions were necessary to better align the data gathered to
the short-term and long-term outcomes of the Communities Talk
activities for organizers, specifically:
Short-Term
<bullet> Increase staff's perceived threat of UAD to residents of
the communities;
<bullet> Increase staff's knowledge related to using evidence-based
approaches to carry out future UAD drinking prevention activities;
<bullet> Increase staff's perceived efficacy of Communities Talk to
enhance UAD prevention in the community;
<bullet> Increase staff's skills related to using evidence-based
approaches to carry out future UAD prevention activities, specifically
share information about UAD with others host meetings or discussion
groups; create committees, task forces, advisory boards, or other
action groups; build coalitions; develop strategic plans; and advocate
for policies
<bullet> Increase staff's self-efficacy related to using evidence-
based approaches to carry out future UAD prevention activities; and
<bullet> Increase staff's intention related to using evidence-based
approaches to carry out future UAD prevention activities.
Long-Term
<bullet> Increase staff's use of evidence-based approaches to carry
out future UAD prevention activities.
While completing the initial Organizer Survey, staff of Community-
Based Organizations and Institutions of Higher Education can opt in to
be contacted 1 year later. If they do so, they will receive an
invitation to complete the same online questionnaire 1 year later. This
will enable SAMHSA to determine how organizers might have progressed
toward the aforementioned short- and long-term outcomes. Note that the
Organizer Survey (see Attachment 1) has replaced the Organizer Survey--
6 month Follow-Up. This change enables SAMHSA to compare responses
between the initial and follow-up time periods (e.g., and thus
determine whether the same skills have increased or decreased over
time).
SAMHSA/CSAP will be responsible for collecting, compiling,
analyzing, and reporting on information requested through these
surveys.
The Participant Survey has been discontinued in alignment with
SAMHSA's focus on organizers as the target audience of Communities Talk
activities.
SAMHSA supports nationwide Communities Talk activities every other
year. Collecting data on each round of Communities Talk activities and
using this information to inform policy and measure impact connects
with SAMHSA's Strategic Plan FY2019-FY2023, specifically ``Objective
3.2: Expand community engagement around substance use prevention,
treatment, and recovery'' (SAMHSA, 2018). Communities Talk activities
are intended to work at the grassroots level to raise awareness of the
public health dangers of UAD and to engage communities in evidence-
based prevention. Notably, Communities Talk activities provide a forum
for communities to discuss ways they can best prevent UAD by reducing
the availability of alcohol and by creating community norms that
discourage demand.
SAMHSA will use the information collected to document the
implementation efforts of this nationwide initiative, determine if the
federally sponsored Communities Talk activities lead to additional
activities within the community that are aimed at preventing and
reducing UAD, identify what these activities may possibly include, and
help plan for future rounds of Communities Talk events. SAMHSA intends
to post online a summary document of each round of Communities Talk
activities and present findings at national conferences attended by
CBOs and IHEs that have hosted these activities and might host future
activities. Similarly, SAMHSA plans to share findings with the
Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Prevention of Underage
Drinking. Agencies within this committee encourage their grantees to
participate as the activity hosts. Additionally, the information
collected will support performance measurement for SAMHSA programs
under the Government Performance Results Act (GPRA).
Data Collection Component
SAMHSA/CSAP will use a web-based method, such as Voxco, to collect
data through the Organizer Survey. The web-based application will
comply with the
[[Page 2885]]
requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act to permit
accessibility to people with disabilities.
From February 2022 to April 2022, the Organizer Survey--Initial
will be completed by an estimated 500 Communities Talk activity
organizers and will require only one response per respondent. It will
take an average of 10 minutes (0.167 hours) to review the instructions
and complete the survey. Similarly, from February 2023 to April 2023,
the Organizer Survey--Follow-up will be completed by an estimated 500
Communities Talk activity organizers and will require only one response
per respondent. It will take an average of 10 minutes (0.167 hours) to
review the instructions and complete the survey. This burden estimate
is based on comments from three 2019 Communities Talk activity
organizers who reviewed the survey and provided comments on how long it
would take them to complete it.
