Information Collection Request Title: Pediatric Mental Health Care
Access Program National Impact Study, OMB No. 0915-xxxx--[New].
Abstract: This notice describes an information collection request
for one of HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau programs, the
Pediatric Mental Health Care Access (PMHCA) Program. The PMHCA Program
aims to promote behavioral health integration into pediatric primary
care by supporting the development of state, regional, and tribal
pediatric mental health care teleconsultation access programs. The
PMHCA Program supports pediatric health professionals (HPs) \1\ in
their
[[Page 8211]]
delivery of high-quality and timely screening, assessment, treatment,
and referrals for children and adolescents with behavioral health
conditions through the provision of teleconsultation, care coordination
support/navigation (e.g., resource identification and referrals), and
training and education.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Health professionals may include but are not limited to
pediatricians, family physicians, physician assistants, advanced
practice nurses/nurse practitioners, licensed practical nurses,
registered nurses, counselors, social workers, medical assistants,
patient care navigators.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information will be collected from participants in HRSA PMHCA
award recipient programs that were funded in 2021, 2022, or 2023. The
2021 and 2022 PMHCA programs are authorized by 42 U.S.C 254c-19 (Title
III, Sec. 330M of the Public Health Service Act), using funding
appropriated by Section 2712 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
(Pub. L. 117-2), and the 2023 PMHCA programs are authorized by 42 U.S.C
254c-19 (Sec. 330M of the Public Health Service Act), as amended by
section 11005 of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (Pub. L. 117-
159). To examine the impact of the PMHCA program on children and
adolescents, this data collection will use two instruments: the HP
Impact Survey and the Family/Caregiver Focus Group Discussion (FGD).
Additionally, family members/caregivers identified by PMHCA programs to
participate in the Family/Caregiver FGD will be asked demographic
questions (Family/Caregiver Demographic Questionnaire) about themselves
and their child/adolescent for the purpose of FGD sampling and to
inform qualitative data analyses.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: This information is
needed by HRSA to examine PMHCA program impacts on children/adolescents
and their families/caregivers in order to guide future program
decisions. Specifically, data collected for the PMHCA Impact Study will
be used to examine changes in children's and adolescents' and their
families'/caregivers' access to behavioral health care; their
subsequent receipt and utilization of behavioral health care, including
culturally and linguistically appropriate care; related behavioral
health impacts; and monetary and societal cost-benefits. The study will
examine changes over time regarding enrolled/participating HPs'
practices with screening, diagnosing, treating, and referring children
and adolescents with behavioral health conditions and assess their
perceptions of the behavioral health impact of the PMHCA Program.
Additionally, the study will deepen understanding of families'/
caregivers' experiences with behavioral health care access, receipt,
and utilization; satisfaction with behavioral health care services; and
the impact of behavioral health services on their children/adolescents.
Likely Respondents:
<bullet> HP Impact Survey: Pediatricians, family physicians,
physician assistants, advanced practice nurses/nurse practitioners,
licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, counselors, social
workers, medical assistants;
<bullet> Family/Caregiver FGD: Family members and caregivers who
have sought and/or received behavioral health care for their
child(ren)/adolescent(s); and
<bullet> Family/Caregiver Demographic Questionnaire: Family members
and caregivers who have sought and/or received behavioral health care
for their child(ren)/adolescent(s).
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the
information requested. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for
this ICR are summarized in the table below.
