SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 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. Additionally, the PMHCA Program
focuses on achieving health equity related to racial, ethnic, and
geographic disparities in access to care, especially in rural and other
underserved areas.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ HPs 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's
Maternal and Child Health Bureau PMHCA award recipient programs that
were funded in 2021, 2022, or 2023. The 2021 and 2022 PMHCA programs
were authorized by 42 U.S.C 254c-19 (Title III, section 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 were authorized by 42 U.S.C 254c-19 (section 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.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on February 6,
2024, vol. 89, No. 25; pp. 8210-11. HRSA received two requests for
additional information from the public, but no comments.
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 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 (BHC); their subsequent
receipt and utilization of BHC, 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 the understanding of families'/caregivers' experiences with
BHC access, receipt, and utilization; satisfaction with BHC 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 BHC for their child(ren)/adolescent(s).
<bullet> Family/Caregiver Demographic Questionnaire: Family members
and caregivers who have sought and/or received BHC 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.
