SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Assessing the
Implementation and Effectiveness of DOD's Lethal Means Safety (LMS)
Outreach Materials; OMB Control Number 0704-ALOM.
Needs and Uses: The Deputy Secretary of Defense recently directed
implementation of Service/Component tailored lethal means safety (LMS)
plans, which leverage the Defense Suicide Prevention Office's (DSPO's)
LMS suite of evidence-informed tools. In accordance with guidance, and
with recommendations from the Government Accountability Office to
assess the efficacy of nonclinical suicide prevention efforts, DSPO
aims to help the Services and Components conduct a thorough evaluation
of their LMS outreach efforts.
DSPO has contracted with CNA to assist the Services and Components
in meeting the requirements set forth in DOD Instruction 6490.16 that
all suicide prevention activities are developed from a relevant
evidence-base and have an evaluation capability prior to
implementation. CNA, in conjunction with the participating Services and
Components (i.e., Air Force, Army, Navy, and SOCOM), propose the
following information collections focused on specific to the needs of
each respective Service/Component to assess the implementation,
acceptability, and/or effect of their specific LMS activities and
materials. Depending on the nature of the selected evaluation
activities, study data will be collected via key informant (KI)
interviews and/or a survey.
Air Force: The intent of the voluntary Air Force Time-Based
Prevention (TBP) KI Interviews is to help the Air Force gain a better
understanding of the implementation and utility of the Air Force's TBP
communications and messaging, as well as barriers to implementation.
Army: The intent of voluntary Army LMS Toolkit Key Personnel
Baseline and Follow-up Interviews is to consult with key Army personnel
to gain a better understanding of the implementation and utility of the
Army's new LMS Toolkit.
Navy: The intent of voluntary Navy Gun Lock Distribution KI
interviews is to help the Navy evaluate their gun lock distribution
efforts and learn how the Navy may improve its safe storage practice
materials, outreach, and implementation efforts.
Navy: The intent of the voluntary Navy Community Lethal Means
Safety Survey is to learn about the Navy community's awareness of
current lethal means safety programs, preferences for safety devices
and safe storage locations, and thoughts about the place of safety in
Navy culture.
SOCOM: The intent of the voluntary SOCOM LMS Integrated Performance
Plan (IPP) KI Interviews is to help SOCOM gain a better understanding
of the implementation and utility of SOCOM's LMS IPP and learn how the
SOCOM Suicide Prevention program may improve its LMS materials,
outreach, and implementation efforts.
The Services and Components will use the results of their
respective voluntary KI interviews and/or survey to tailor their LMS
activities, materials, messaging, training, and outreach efforts to
maximize their effectiveness with their Service members and
communities.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
