The program is designed to support
integrated behavioral health and physical health services for
racial/ethnic populations at high risk for behavioral health
disorders and at high risk for contracting HIV. This information
collection is needed to provide SAM with objective information to
document the reach and impact of the Co-location and Integration of
HIV Prevention and Medical Care into Behavioral Health program. The
information will be used to monitor quality assurance and quality
performance outcomes for organizations funded by this grant
program. The information will also be used to assess the impact of
services on behavioral health and physical health services for
individuals served by this program.
Currently there are 1,143
burden hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA is requesting 6,097
hours. The program change of 4,954 hours is due to the additional
programs that will use the revised form. The proposed RHHT form
will replace SAMHSA’s OMB-approved RHT Form (OMB No. 0930-0295)
which will be expiring on November 30, 2015, and included a total
of 9,576 burden hours. The deletion of the program-specific version
of TRAC form reflects: -397 hours, -1,200 respondents, and -2,196
responses. The deletion of the HIV-Specific Indicators form
reflects: -96 hours, -200 respondents and -320 responses.
