Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

    In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 concerning opportunity for public comment on proposed 
collections of information, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health 
Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of 
proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed projects 
or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the 
SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collections of 
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions 
of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology.

Proposed Project: Mental Health Block Grant Ten Percent Set Aside 
Evaluation of First Episode Psychosis--NEW

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA) is directed by Congress through its FY 2016 Omnibus bill, 
Public Law 114-113, to set aside ten percent of the Mental Health Block 
Grant (MHBG) allocation for each state to support evidence-based 
programs that provide treatment for those with early serious mental 
illness (SMI) and a first episode psychosis (FEP)--an increase from the 
previous five percent set aside.
    The purpose of this 3-year evaluation is to assess the relationship 
between fidelity of selected coordinated specialty care (CSC) programs 
supported with Mental Health Block Grant (MHBG) Ten Percent Set Aside 
funding and participant outcomes. There are approximately 250 sites 
implementing CSC programs with MHBG ten percent set aside funding. All 
250 sites will be asked to report on their implementation through an 
online survey. Up to 32 CSC sites across the nation will be recruited 
to participate in a process and outcome evaluation. The data collection 
activities for the Mental Health Block Grant Ten Percent Set Aside 
Evaluation will include the following six data collection tools:
     Site Survey: This is a one-time online survey with site 
directors of all 250 centers using MHBG ten percent set aside funding 
(not just those included in the evaluation). The survey focuses on how 
centers across the U.S. are providing services to individuals with 
First Episode Psychosis (FEP) in their communities.
     State Mental Health Authority Interview: This is a one-
time semi-structured interview with state mental health leadership in 
the states where the 32 sites in the evaluation are located. The 
interview focuses on their thoughts and opinions about context in which 
CSC programs are implemented within their state and the state's role in 
the implementation of the CSC programs.
     Agency Director/Administrator Interview: This semi-
structured interview will be conducted twice with Agency Director/
Administrators at each of the 32 CSC sites in the evaluation about the 
successes and challenges involved in implementing the CSC program.
     Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) Staff Interview: This 
semi-structured interview will be conducted twice with CSC Staff at 
each of the 32 CSC sites in the evaluation about the successes and 
challenges involved in implementing the CSC program.
     Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) Participant Interview: 
This semi-structured interview will be conducted twice with 
participants involved in programs at the 32 CSC sites in the 
evaluation. The purpose of the interview is to gather participant input 
on how CSC programs are operating and their thoughts and opinions about 
successes and challenges while participating in the CSC program.
     Fidelity Interview: This interview will be conducted twice 
during the evaluation with up to four CSC staff at each site. The phone 
interview is designed to be used in conjunction with the First Episode 
Psychosis Fidelity Scale (FEPS-FS) to examine whether elements of CSC 
are implemented at the sites.
    In addition, each site will provide the evaluation team with 
administrative data on participant demographics and outcomes (e.g., 
employment status, educational status, diagnosis, living situation, 
quality of life, symptoms).
