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: State Targeted Response to the Opioid Crisis (Opioid STR) 
Evaluation--NEW

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA) recently awarded 57 grants to states and territories to help 
address the national opioid crisis by increasing access to treatment, 
reducing unmet treatment needs, and reducing opioid overdose related 
deaths through the provision of prevention, treatment, and recovery 
activities for opioid use disorder (OUD).
    SAMHSA's Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality 
(CBHSQ), will be conducting a cross-site evaluation of the Opioid STR 
grant program. The proposed data collection is necessary to evaluate 
how the Opioid STR state/territory grantees plan and implement 
prevention, treatment and recovery services. Additionally, a subset of 
communities/programs will be selected to participate in supplemental 
evaluation activities designed to provide detailed information related 
to the implementation of services at the program/community level, as 
well as the impacts of the program on client outcomes.
    SAMHSA has developed a set of interview protocols and survey 
measures that will collect information from all state/territory 
grantees (57), and subset (up to 20) of programs/communities that 
provide services and activities funded by the grant. In addition, 
SAMHSA's Performance Accountability and Reporting System (SPARS) will 
be used to collect individual-level data using CSAT's Government 
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) for Discretionary Grant Programs 
Client Outcome Measure (OMB No. 0930-0208) from individuals receiving 
services from participating communities/programs.
    Specific data collected as part of the Opioid STR evaluation 
include the following:
    State Survey: The State Survey will be administered to State 
Project Directors/Program Managers to collect information about the 
state/territory's current, planned, and implemented activities to 
address opioid misuse using Opioid STR funding. State Surveys will be 
administered three (3) times.
    State Interview: The State Interview Protocol will be used to 
collect information from the State Project Director/Program Manager 
during phone interviews at two (2) time points. Interviews will collect 
information about the state's substance abuse treatment systems prior 
to STR funding, the types of activities states plan to implement with 
STR funding, challenges and successes when implementing these 
activities, and plans for sustaining the activities.
    Community/Program Survey: The Community/Program Survey will be 
administered to Community/Program Directors or Program Managers to 
collect information about the community/program's readiness to 
implement activities that address opioid misuse, their actual 
implementation of activities to address opioid misuse, and initial 
outcomes of their implemented activities. Community/Program Survey will 
be administered three (3) times.
    Community/Program Director/Manager Interview Protocol: The 
Community/Program Director/Manager Interview Protocol will be used to 
collect information from Community/Program Directors or Program 
Managers during in-person site visits to each participating community/
program. Interviews will collect in-depth information about the 
community's/program's implementation of activities to address opioid 
misuse using Opioid STR funding, and factors facilitating and impeding 
the implementation of STR-funded activities. Community/Program 
Director/Manager Interviews will be conducted two (2) times.
    Community/Program Data Manager Interview Protocol: The Community/
Program Data Manager Interview Protocol will be used to collect 
information from Data Managers during in-person site visits to each 
participating community/program. Interviews will collect in-depth 
information about how the program used community/program-level data to

[[Page 31339]]

inform the development and implementation of STR activities and how 
data is being used to monitor the activities. Community/Program Data 
Manager Interviews will be conducted two (2) times.
    Community/Program Clinical Staff Interview Protocol: The Community/
Program Clinical Staff Interview Protocol will be used to collect 
information from up to four (4) clinical staff members at each 
participating community/program site. Interviews will collect 
information on the factors that have facilitated and impeded past 
activities to address opioid misuse, and clinicians' experiences 
implementing STR-funded activities. Community/Program Clinical Staff 
Interviews will be conducted two (2) times.
    CSAT GPRA Client Outcome Measure: The CSAT GPRA Client Outcome 
Measure will be used with each client served in the Communities/
Programs to collect data about client's progress as a result of 
receiving services. This data will be collected at three (3) time 
intervals: intake to services, 6 month follow-up, and at discharge.
