SAMHSA and its Centers will use the
data collected for annual reporting required by GPRMA, to describe
and understand changes in outcomes from baseline to follow-up to
discharge. 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 additional 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 diagnostic information about clients served by CMHS
discretionary grant programs.
Currently, there are 78,096
total burden hours in the OMB-approved inventory and SAMHSA is now
requesting 104,168 burden hours. The program change is an increase
of 26,072 burden hours is due to the addition of the 13 questions
on the Adult Measure and seven (7) questions on the Child/Caregiver
Measure, the increased number of overall grant programs, the
increased frequency of physical health data collection, and the
number of respondents receiving mental health treatment services.
The estimated time to complete the revised tools has been increased
from 35 minutes to 40 minutes, and the estimated time to complete
the Section H physical health indicators has been increased from 5
minutes to 15 minutes.
