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 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 (301) 443–7978.
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: Call Monitoring of
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
Form—NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health
Services has funded a National Suicide
Prevention Lifeline Network, consisting
of a single toll-free telephone number
that routes calls from anywhere in the
United States to a network of local crisis
centers. In turn, the local centers link
callers to local emergency, mental
health, and social service resources.
To ensure quality, the vast majority of
crisis centers conduct on-site
monitoring of selected calls by
supervisors or trainers using
unobtrusive listening devices. To
monitor the quality of calls and to
inform the development of training for
networked crisis centers, the National
Suicide Prevention Lifeline proposes to
remotely monitor calls routed to seven
crisis centers during the shifts of
consenting staff. The procedure will be
Number of
respondents
Instrument
anonymous, in that neither staff nor
callers will be identified on the Call
Monitoring Form. The monitor, a
trained crisis worker, will code the type
of problem presented by the caller, the
elements of a suicide risk assessment
that are completed by the crisis worker,
as well as what action plan is developed
with and/or what referral(s) are
provided to the caller. No centers will
be identified in reports.
During the shifts of consenting crisis
staff, a recording will inform callers that
some calls may be monitored for quality
assurance purposes. Previous
comparisons of matched centers that did
and did not play the recording found no
difference in hang-up rates before the
calls were answered or within the first
15 seconds of the calls.
The seven centers to be monitored
will be selected based on the geographic
regions(s) they serve. Once a center has
agreed to participate, the crisis workers
will be provided an Informed Consent
Form describing the purpose and
procedures of the monitoring process
and inviting them to participate. The
Form also informs workers that they are
free to participate or not, that they may
withdraw their acceptance to participate
at any time, and that if they choose not
to participate, no calls during their shift
will be monitored.
A total of 180 calls will be monitored
during the first 5-month period. One
year later, an additional 360 calls will
be monitored, yielding a total of 540
monitored calls.
The estimated annual response
burden to collect this information is as

The Substance Abuse and Mental

Prevention Lifeline Network, consisting
of a single toll-free telephone number
that routes calls from anywhere in the
United States to a network of local crisis

callers to local emergency, mental
health, and social service resources.
Through its grantee which is
administering the National Suicide
Prevention Lifeline Network, SAMHSA
developed a Call Log and Crisis Center
Survey in an effort to monitor basic
trends in calls received and to learn
more about the capacities, skills, and
unmet needs of the crisis centers
Number of

Instrument
involved in the Network. The completed
Call Logs and Surveys will inform the
Network’s planning around network
recruitment strategies, technology,
training, marketing, and other network
resource development activities. The
goal of these efforts is to enhance
services provided by networked crisis
centers, increase their accessibility to
people at risk for suicidal behavior, and
optimize public health efforts to prevent
suicide and suicidal behavior.
All 104 networked crisis centers will
be invited to complete the Call Logs,
which will be available in both Webbased and hardcopy formats. Trained
crisis counselors will use their judgment
as to whether to complete the form at
the conclusion of individual calls.
Completing the form entails asking
callers several basic questions (e.g., zip
code, age, how they heard about the
Lifeline service). No identifiable
information will be collected.
The Web-based Crisis Center Survey,
which will be administered only one
time, requests information about crisis
centers’ infrastructure and services. The
Survey includes questions about
organizational structure, scope of
services, telephone technology and
equipment, staffing, training, and
quality assurance.
The estimated annual response
burden to collect this information is as
