Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for 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) 276-1243.

Project: National Mental Health Services Survey (N-MHSS) (OMB No. 0930-
0119)--Revision

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA), Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ) 
is requesting a revision to the National Mental Health Services Survey 
(N-MHSS) (OMB No. 0930-0119), which expires on February 28, 2017. The 
N-MHSS provides annual national and state-level data on the number and 
characteristics of mental health treatment facilities in the United 
States and biennial national and state-level data on the number and 
characteristics of persons treated in these facilities.
    The N-MHSS will provide updated information about facilities for 
SAMHSA's online Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator (see: 
https://findtreatment.samhsa.gov), which was last updated with 
information from the abbreviated N-MHSS (N-MHSS-Locator Survey) in 
2015. An abbreviated N-MHSS (N-MHSS-Locator Survey) will be conducted 
in 2017 and 2019 to update the information about facilities in the 
online Locator. A full-scale N-MHSS will be conducted in 2018 to 
collect (1) information about facilities needed for updating the online 
Locator, such as the facility name and address, specific services 
offered, and special client groups served and (2) additional 
information about client counts and the demographics of persons treated 
in these facilities. Three small surveys are proposed for adding new 
facilities to the online Locator as they become known to SAMHSA. Both 
the 2017 N-MHSS-Locator Survey and the addition of new facilities to 
the online Locator will use the same N-MHSS-Locator Survey instrument.
    This request for a revision seeks to change the content of the 
currently approved abbreviated N-MHSS (i.e., N-MHSS-Locator) survey 
instrument, and the previously approved 2014 and 2016 full-scale N-MHSS 
(OMB No. 0930-0119) to accommodate two related N-MHSS activities:
    (1) collection of information from the total N-MHSS universe of 
mental health treatment facilities during 2017, 2018, and 2019; and
    (2) collection of information on newly identified facilities 
throughout the year as they are identified so that new facilities can 
quickly be added to the online Locator.
    The survey mode for both data collection activities will be web 
with telephone follow-up. A paper questionnaire will also be available 
to facilities who request one.
    The database resulting from the N-MHSS will be used to update 
SAMHSA's online Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator and to 
produce an electronic version of a national directory of mental health 
facilities, for use by the general public, behavioral health 
professionals, and treatment service providers. In addition, a data 
file derived from the survey will be used to produce a summary report 
providing national and state-level outcomes. The summary report and a 
public-use data file will be used by researchers, mental health 
professionals, State governments, the U.S. Congress, and the general 
public.
    The request for OMB approval will include a request to conduct an 
abbreviated N-MHSS-Locator survey in 2017 and 2019, and the full-scale 
N-MHSS in 2018.
    The following table summarizes the estimated annual response burden 
for the N-MHSS:
