Pediatric Mental Health Care Access Program Health Professional Survey
Health Resources and Services and Administration Evaluation of the Maternal and Child Health Bureau Pediatric Mental Health Care Access and Screening and Treatment for Maternal Depression and Related Behavioral Disorders Programs Project
June 2022
Public Burden Statement: This data collection will provide the Health Resources and Services Administration with information to guide future program and policy decisions regarding increasing health professionals’ (e.g., pediatricians, family physicians, physician assistants, advanced practice nurse/nurse practitioners, licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, counselors, social workers, medical assistants, patient care navigators) capacity to address patients’ behavioral health and access to behavioral health services. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this information collection is 0906-XXXX and it is valid until XX/XX/202X. This information collection is voluntary. The current project will fully comply with the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. Section 552a, 1998; https://www.justice.gov/opcl/privacy-act-1974). The Privacy Act may apply to some data collection activities (e.g., the study will collect email addresses from some respondents). Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 15 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to HRSA Reports Clearance Officer, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 14N136B, Rockville, Maryland, 20857 or paperwork@hrsa.gov.
Note for OMB Submission and Survey Implementation: We will tailor the text when referring to awardees’ programs (e.g., state, political subdivision of a state, Indian tribe, or tribal organization). Additionally, questions discussing "the last 12 months" will be adjusted to “the last 24 months” based on the year of administration.
HRSA funded [insert name of state] to implement a Pediatric Mental Health Care Access (PMHCA) program, [insert program name]. HRSA also funded JBS International, Inc. (JBS) to conduct an evaluation of the MCHB PMHCA program (hereafter referred to as the HRSA MCHB evaluation). JBS is an independent evaluator of the program and is not part of HRSA or any other federal agency.
Survey Purpose: As part of the HRSA MCHB evaluation, we are conducting a survey of pediatric health professionals (e.g., pediatricians, family physicians, physician assistants, advanced practice nurse/nurse practitioners, licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, counselors, social workers, medical assistants, patient care navigators) who are enrolled/participating in [insert name of state]’s HRSA PMHCA program. The survey is designed to collect information on your experiences with the PMHCA program (e.g., assessing and treating behavioral health conditions, accessing behavioral health care services for your patients, capacity to address behavioral health conditions) and to assist HRSA in future program implementation.
Survey Instructions: This online survey should take less than fifteen (15) minutes for you to complete. Please answer based on your current practice and understanding (you are not required to review data to answer the questions), unless otherwise indicated. There are no right or wrong answers to the survey questions. Please note that your responses will remain private and are voluntary. Survey results will be reported to HRSA in the aggregate, and no identifying information will appear in the evaluation reports without your prior approval. No identifiable data will be provided to HRSA.
About Your State’s Program: Each state’s PMHCA program includes creating a Pediatric Mental Health Care Team; tracking enrollment/participation of pediatric health professionals, such as yourself, into the program; and providing training on how to consult with the Pediatric Mental Health Care Team in your state and/or to provide behavioral health care in your practice. The questions that follow ask about your experiences obtaining training, clinical behavioral health consultation, referral, and community linkage information from your state’s PMHCA program and about your current practices for addressing behavioral health conditions in your pediatric patients.
Please create a Unique Identifier for your survey to maintain the privacy of your responses and to allow us to match your future survey responses.
How to create your Unique Identifier: Use the first two letters of your first name, the first two letters of your last name, and the month of your birthday. For example, for John Smith, born in May, the Unique Identifier would be JOSM05.
Email address used for receiving communication from [insert program name]:
_____________________________________________
Note: Email addresses will only be used to confirm enrollment in the program and to track survey administration and completion.
Helpful Terminology: For the purposes of this survey, a health professional includes pediatricians, family physicians, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses/nurse practitioners, licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, counselors, social workers, medical assistants, patient care navigators, etc.
