SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501-21.
Title: Suicide Prevention 2.0 Program--Community Opinion Survey.
OMB Control Number: 2900-NEW.
Type of Review: New collection.
Abstract: VA authority for this data collection is found under 38
U.S.C., Part I, Chapter 5, Section 527, which authorizes the collection
of data that will allow measurement and evaluation of VA Programs, the
goal of which is improved health care for veterans. The information
will be used to accomplish three aims: (1) Collect baseline data on the
knowledge and attitudes of adult US citizens living in specified
communities about veterans, veteran suicide, and resources available to
veterans to reduce suicide, prior to the implementation of suicide
prevention programs; (2) collect follow-up data in the same communities
to assess whether those knowledge and attitudes have changed over time;
and (3) determine whether the programs and policies implemented by a
community resulted in positive change in knowledge and attitudes.
The data will be utilized by the Office of Mental Health and
Suicide Prevention in VA Central Office to measure the return on
investment of significant resources that have been invested to support
communities in their efforts to reduce veteran suicide. Specifically,
the Community-Based Interventions (CBI) arm of VA's ``Suicide
Prevention 2.0'' (SP2.0) program has launched two different initiatives
whose goals are to increase the successful implementation of best
practices to prevent veteran suicide in local communities. The data
will allow VA to measure a baseline level of expected outcomes, follow-
up levels, and explore the role of new programs in any changes, as well
as inform program planning and evaluation.
In addition, the data collected will be used by State teams that
are engaged in the Governor's Challenge (GC) initiative. GC is one of
the initiatives supported by SP2.0 and is structured so that State
teams are provided training and technical assistance by VA to expand
their efforts to implement suicide prevention programs in their State.
This data collection will assist the State teams to assess the effects
of their new programming or policies.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of
information was published at 86 FR 218 on November 16, 2021, page
63455.
