DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). To request a copy of these
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-0361.
Project: Revision of Mental Health Client/Participant Outcome Measures
and Infrastructure, Prevention, and Promotion Indicators (OMB No. 0930-
0285)
SAMHSA is requesting approval from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for a revision to extend the expiration date for the
previously approved instruments and data collection activities for the
Center Mental Health Services Mental Health Client/Participant Outcome
Measures and Infrastructure, Prevention, and Promotion Indicators (OMB
No 0930-0285) that expires on March 30, 2025.
To be fully accountable for the spending of Federal funds, SAMHSA
requires all programs to collect and report data to ensure that program
goals and objectives are met. Data are collected and used to monitor
and improve performance of each program and ensure appropriate and
thoughtful spending of Federal funds.
SAMHSA requests to continue using and extend the expiration date
for the currently approved Client-level Mental Health Client/
Participant Outcome measures and Infrastructure, Prevention, and
Promotion indicators and to extend the expiration date.
These two data collections maintain capacity and requirements to
report qualitative performance and quantitative outcomes for all Center
for Mental Health Services discretionary grant programs, including:
demographic characteristics of clients served; social determinants of
health of clients served before, during, and at end of services;
numbers of clients served; and process measures, outputs, outcomes, of
grant program required activities.
Currently, the information collected from these data collections is
entered and stored on SAMHSA's Performance Accountability and Reporting
System (SPARS), which is a real-time, performance management system
that captures information on mental health and substance abuse
treatment services delivered in the United States through discretionary
grantees. Continued approval of this information collection will allow
SAMHSA to continue to meet Government Performance and Results
Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRMA) reporting requirements that quantify
the effects and accomplishments of its discretionary grant programs,
which are consistent with OMB guidance.
SAMHSA and its Centers will use the data collected for annual
reporting required by GPRMA, to describe clients and individuals served
and to summarize outputs and outcomes of grant program activities.
SAMHSA and its Centers will use the data for annual reporting. SAMHSA's
report for each fiscal year will include actual results of performance
monitoring for the three preceding fiscal years. Information collected
through this request will allow SAMHSA to report on the results of
these performance outcomes as well as be consistent with SAMHSA-
specific performance domains, and to assess the accountability and
performance of its discretionary grant programs. The information
collected through this request will allow SAMHSA to improve its ability
to assess the impact of its programs on key outcomes of interest and to
gather vital descriptive characteristics about clients served by
discretionary grant programs.
Currently, there are 76,209 total burden hours in the two data
collections. SAMHSA is requesting an increase to 139,178 hours to
account for additional grantees having reporting requirements and to
account more fully for the time needed to report quarterly on the IPP
indicators. The proposed estimate of time to collect data and complete
the instruments is shown in table 1.
