SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: BUMED PHOP Electronic
Behavioral Health Intake Assessment; OMB Control Number: 0703-EBHS.
Needs and Uses: In 2008, the DoN Bureau of Medicine and Surgery
(BUMED) created the Psychological Health Outreach Program (PHOP) to
address potential gaps in behavioral health-related support for all
Service Members (and their Family Members) serving in the DoN Reserve
and United States Marine Forces Reserve. The PHOP mission includes the
provision of preemptive outreach, psychoeducation, assessment, and case
management services intended to connect Service Members/Family Members
and Reserve Units as a whole to targeted community resources that help
reduce stress, promote resiliency, and support mission readiness. The
PHOP is staffed by a nationwide Team of fully licensed clinical
behavioral health professionals. To support Service Members and Reserve
Units, PHOP continuously engages in a cycle of outreach and referral,
wherein PHOP Team Members proactively contact, and are contacted by,
Service Members and Command Points of Contact to collaborate on and
develop action plans intended to address identified psychosocial issues
and/or stressors.
To develop customized action plans in support of Service Members
and Reserve Units, PHOP must conduct an assessment of the psychosocial
stressors affecting the Service Member or Reserve Unit seeking support.
To fully support those experiencing psychological health issues,
assessment necessarily includes an evaluation of specific types of
issues that may adversely affect one's overall health and wellness.
These include an assessment of depressive signs and symptoms, anxiety,
trauma-related experiences, alcohol use, sleep quality, and
individually identified/reported stressors. Additionally, to ensure
PHOP services are delivered to Service Members and Reserve Units with
timeliness and accuracy, individual/group contact information must be
collected. Moreover, in an effort to provide regionally, culturally,
and biologically sensitive support, individual demographics are
collected.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 970.
Number of Respondents: 5,821.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 5,821.
Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
Dated: November 30, 2023.
