Information Collection Request Title: Evaluation of the Maternal
and Child Health Bureau Pediatric Mental Health Care Access Program and
the Screening and Treatment for Maternal Mental Health and Substance
Use Disorders Program, OMB No. 0906-xxxx--New.
Abstract: This notice describes information collection requests for
two of HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau programs: the Pediatric
Mental Health Care Access (PMHCA) program and the Screening and
Treatment for Maternal Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders
(MMHSUD) program. The PMHCA program aims to promote behavioral health
integration into pediatric primary care by developing and supporting
state, regional, and tribal pediatric mental health care
teleconsultation access programs. The MMHSUD program aims to support
maternity care providers and clinical practices by supporting the
development, improvement, and/or maintenance of statewide or regional
behavioral health networks. Both programs support health professionals
(HPs) \1\ in their delivery of high-quality and timely screening,
assessment, treatment, and referrals for their targeted populations
(e.g., children, adolescents, and young adults for PMHCA programs;
pregnant and postpartum people for MMHSUD programs) through the
provision of clinical behavioral health teleconsultation, care
coordination support/navigation (e.g., resource identification and
referrals), and training and education. Additionally, the PMHCA and
MMHSUD programs focus on reducing racial, ethnic, and geographic
disparities in access to care, especially in rural and other
underserved areas.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Health professionals may include, but are not limited to,
pediatricians, family physicians, adult primary care clinicians,
obstetrician-gynecologists, physician assistants, advanced practice
nurses/nurse practitioners, licensed practical nurses, registered
nurses, nurse midwives, counselors, behavioral health clinicians,
social workers, care coordinators, medical assistants, and patient
care navigators.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information will be collected from PMHCA and MMHSUD award
recipient programs funded in 2021, 2022, or 2023 and from participants
in and stakeholders of those programs:
<bullet> The 2021 and 2022 PMHCA programs are authorized by 42
U.S.C 254c-19 (sec. 330M of the Public Health Service Act), using
funding provided by section 2712 of the American Rescue Plan Act of
2021 (Pub. L. 117-2).
<bullet> 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).
<bullet> The 2023 MMHSUD programs are authorized by 42 U.S.C. 247b-
13a; (sec. 317L-1 of the Public Health Service Act).
To evaluate progress made toward the programs' goals, this data
collection will use the following eight instruments: (1) HP Survey, (2)
Practice-Level Survey, (3) Program Implementation Survey, (4)
Behavioral Health Consultation Provider Semi-Structured Interview
(SSI), (5) Care Coordinator SSI, (6) Champion SSI, (7) Community-Based
and Other Resources SSI, and (8) Program Implementation SSI.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA needs this
information to evaluate the PMHCA and MMHSUD programs to guide future
decisions regarding increasing HPs' capacity to address patients'
behavioral health and access to behavioral health services.
Specifically, data collected for the evaluation will be used to study
the efforts of the PMHCA and MMHSUD programs to achieve key outcomes
(e.g., increase in access to behavioral health services; HPs trained;
identification of community-based resources, including counselors or
family service providers) and to measure whether and to what extent
awardee programs are associated with changes in these outcomes. The
evaluation will examine changes over time within and/or across the
PMHCA and MMHSUD programs, regarding PMHCA- and MMHSUD-enrolled/
participating HPs' and practices': (1) capacity to address patients'
behavioral health and access to behavioral health care, through
screening, assessment, treatment, and referral for behavioral health
conditions and (2) use of program services (e.g., consultation, care
coordination, training).
Likely Respondents
<bullet> HP Survey: Pediatricians, family physicians, obstetrician-
gynecologists, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses/nurse
practitioners, licensed practical nurses, registered nurses,
counselors, social workers, medical assistants, and patient care
navigators.
<bullet> Practice-Level Survey: Practice managers (e.g., office
managers, office leadership, nurse champions).
<bullet> Program Implementation Survey: Cooperative agreement-
funded project directors/principal investigators.
<bullet> Behavioral Health Consultation Provider SSI: PMHCA and
MMHSUD program-level behavioral health consultation providers.
<bullet> Care Coordinator SSI: PMHCA- and MMHSUD-program-level care
coordinators.
<bullet> Champion SSI: PMHCA and MMHSUD program champions (e.g.,
HPs, community and social service specialists).
<bullet> Community-Based and Other Resources SSI: PMHCA and MMHSUD
program-level community resource partner representatives (e.g.,
counselors, social workers, other community and social service
specialists, other HPs/
[[Page 46144]]
support workers, practice/organization managers).
<bullet> Program Implementation SSI: Cooperative agreement-funded
project directors/principal investigators.
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
