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) 276-0361.

Project: Assessment of the 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 the 
information collection regarding the Assessment of the Communities Talk 
to Prevent Underage Drinking initiative which is implemented by the 
Underage Drinking Prevention Education Initiatives (UADPEI) within 
CSAP. The data collection was most recently 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 reinstatement, the Organizer Survey includes 14 
items about Communities Talk activities 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 the 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 (CBO's) and Institutions of Higher Education 
(IHE's) 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 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. 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 do so again in the future. 
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 in 
Communities Talk. 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 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.
