988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and Crisis Services Program Evaluation

Client Experience Survey


Description of Participation: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) of the Department of Health and Human Services is conducting an evaluation to learn more about the experience of individuals who have received services through 988 or another crisis service provider. SAMHSA is conducting this evaluation with help from Team Aptive, which includes two research and evaluation companies, Aptive Resources and ICF, who are contracted by SAMHSA for the evaluation. You are being asked to complete four brief surveys – one now, and the others in about 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months – to share your experiences with a healthcare or crisis service that you have recently used. Each survey will take approximately 40-45 minutes to complete.  These surveys ask questions about your experience with crisis and other behavioral health services, along with your suicide or other crisis risk, mental health status, and substance use.


Rights Regarding Participation: Your participation in this survey is completely voluntary.  

  • There are no penalties or consequences to you if you do not participate.  

  • You may stop the survey or skip a question at any time for any reason.  

  • You may contact the evaluation’s Principal Investigator with any questions you have before, during, or after completion.  

Privacy: We take every precaution to protect your privacy. Your name and other contact information will be used only to reach you for completing follow-up surveys. It will be stored separately from your survey responses to help make sure that your responses remain confidential and private. Your survey answers will not be shared with anyone other than the research team responsible for analyzing responses, including your family or friends.

Benefits: Your participation in this survey will not result in any direct benefits to you. However, your input, along with input from others, will help SAMHSA and your crisis services provider agency improve the way that they help people.  


Incentive: In appreciation of your time, you will receive a $20 electronic gift card after completing each survey, or up to $80 total if you complete all four surveys.   


Risks: Some of the questions in this survey ask about services received during crisis situations. As a reminder, you may skip questions you do not wish to answer. If at any time you begin to feel upset while taking this survey, please stop the survey and call or text 988 to speak to a counselor 24 hours a day/7 days a week. You can also visit the 988 Lifeline Chat to connect with a counselor. Reminders about how to reach someone who can help are included throughout the survey in case you need them. 


Contact Information: If you have any concerns about completing this survey or have any questions about the study, please contact Christine Walrath, Principal Investigator, at (646) 695-8154 or christine.walrath@icf.com. 


For any questions related to your rights as they related to this research, please contact the ICF IRB at IRB@icf.com.
