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 Resource Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth 
Violence Prevention--NEW

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 
(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) will conduct an 
annual assessment of the performance of the National Resource Center 
for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention (NRC). The 
NRC will collect the information needed to conduct the annual 
assessment of NRC training and technical assistance activities for the 
SS/HS and Project LAUNCH programs, as well as the field-at-large. There 
are four instruments included in this package for approval: (1) Needs 
Assessment, (2) Site Visit Assessment, (3) Annual Performance 
Assessment, and Case Study Interview. The NRC is required contractually 
to report its performance to SAMHSA on an annual basis.
    Through a cooperative agreement, SAMHSA is funding the NRC to 
support the training and technical assistance (T/TA) needs of two 
SAMHSA grant programs: The Safe Schools/Healthy Students Program (SS/
HS) and Project LAUNCH (Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children's 
Health). In addition, the NRC is funded to disseminate resources and 
provide

[[Page 12983]]

technical assistance to the general field of mental health promotion 
and youth violence prevention. On an annual basis, this encompasses two 
needs assessment focus groups, 36 needs assessment surveys, 14 site 
visit assessment interviews, 42 site visit assessment surveys, 183 
annual performance assessment surveys, and 55 case study interviews.
    As a condition of its cooperative agreements with SS/HS and Project 
LAUNCH, the NRC is required to collect and report on its performance to 
SAMHSA on an annual basis, using measures that document its T/TA 
activities, its outputs, and changes in grantee capacity. For SAMHSA to 
meet its obligations under the Government Performance and Results 
Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRA), the NRC is also required to collect 
and report on three national outcome measures: (1) The number of 
individuals who have received training in prevention or mental health 
promotion; (2) the number and percent of individuals who have 
demonstrated improvement in their knowledge, attitudes, and/or beliefs, 
related to prevention or mental health promotion; and (3) the number of 
individuals contacted through NRC outreach requirements.
    Data collection efforts will focus on two groups: (a) Project 
LAUNCH grantees (project directors) and their local community partners 
and (b) SS/HS grantees (state project coordinators) and their local 
education agency representatives. Assessment data will be collected 
through four methods: Annual grantee needs assessments, assessments of 
annual grantee site visits, an annual performance assessment survey, 
and annual case studies interviews of grantees and their local 
partners.
    Needs assessment. For Project LAUNCH, a total of two focus groups 
of resource specialists (five per focus group), and 36 surveys (one per 
grantee) will be conducted annually to assess the annual training and 
technical assistance (T/TA) needs of grantees. The results will be 
reported in annual needs assessment reports, submitted to NRC 
leadership to support annual T/TA planning. Needs assessments are not 
planned for SS/HS grantees, because they are nearing the end of their 
grant cycle.
    Site visit assessment. The CAT will gather information regarding 
the quality and impact of the NRC's T/TA site visits through interviews 
with seven SS/HS and seven Project LAUNCH grantees. We also conduct an 
online survey with up to 42 state or local partners of grantees (3 per 
grantee) who participated in the SS/HS or Project LAUNCH site visits. 
The results will be reported in grant-specific reports, submitted to 
NRC leadership to inform and improve NRC's T/TA approach with each 
grantee.
    Annual performance assessment. This online performance assessment 
survey will survey seven SS/HS state project coordinators and 36 
Project LAUNCH project directors and up to 140 state and local partners 
on an annual basis. Survey questions will focus on the content, dosage, 
and value of T/TA services provided over the previous year. The 
findings will be reported in annual performance assessment reports to 
the NRC and to SAMHSA for accountability and T/TA improvement purposes.
    T/TA case studies. All seven SS/HS project directors and a 
purposive sample of four Project LAUNCH state project coordinators (11 
total), as well as their assigned resource specialists (11 total) and 
three partners per grantee (33 total), will be interviewed by phone to 
learn more about specific ways in which the NRC has been instrumental 
in building grantee capacity over the last year. These new data will be 
combined with other collected data (such as the needs assessment 
findings and performance assessment survey data) to tell short, 
grantee-specific stories of how the combination of NRC services and 
contextual factors may have affected the choice and success of NRC 
efforts.
    The average annual respondent burden for the proposed data 
collection is estimated below. The estimates reflect the average number 
of respondents, the average annual number of responses, the time it 
will take for each response, and the average annual burden.

Note: Across the seven SS/HS grants, there are a total of 7 grantees (project directors) and 32 partners. There
  are a total of 39 respondents across the seven SS/HS grants. In FY 2016, there were 36 grants across Project
  LAUNCH. In addition to the PL state project coordinator, we will collect information from three partners: The
  young child wellness coordinator, the young child wellness expert, and the young child wellness partner. We
  assume that there will be seven SS/HS and seven Project LAUNCH site visits per year.
