Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; CERTAS: A Researcher
Configurable Self-Monitoring System
SUMMARY: In compliance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
for opportunity for public comment
proposed data collection projects, the
National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) will
publish periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval.
Proposed Collection
Title: CERTAS: A Researcher
Configurable Self-Monitoring System.
Type of Information Collection
Request: NEW.
Need and Use of Information
Collection: This study seeks to further
our understanding of the usefulness and
potential advantages of electronic selfmonitoring of behavior-specifically diet
and exercise behaviors associated with
reduction of cancer risks. Logs, diaries,
checklists and other self-monitoring
tools are an ubiquitous part of nearly all
cancer control research. The primary
objective of this study trial is to
compare paper-based self-monitoring to
CERTAS self-monitoring devices
(wireless sync and local sync) in a range
of cancer risk behaviors. The findings
will provide valuable information
regarding: (1) A comparison of the real
time recording compliance of these
methods, (2) the pre-post effects of each
type of recording (paper versus
electronic), and (3) the relative cost per
valid recorded entry for the two
methods.
Frequency of Response: Daily.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Type of Respondents: Males and
females 18 years of age or older who are:
(1) Interested in improving their diet
and exercise behaviors as they relate to
cancer prevention, (2) proficient in
utilizing a computer, and (3) generally
healthy with no medical conditions
which would require a special diet or
preclude regular exercise. The present
study includes pre-post tests and a four
week comparative trial. The pre-post
tests involve the completion of selfadministered questionnaires on diet and
physical activity as well as body
measurements (i.e. height, weight,
waist, hips). The pre-test visit will also
include a review of the study
information and informed consent. A
usability interview of the selfmonitoring method will conclude the
post-test. The two office visits for the
pre-post tests will take approximately
one hour per visit. The four week
comparative trial has a total of onehundred and twelve possible responses
(4 responses per 28 days; about 8
minutes per day).
The annual reporting burden is as
follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
200.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 3.
Average Burden Hours Per Response:
1.9, and
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours Requested: 1,148. There are no
Capital Costs, Operating Costs, and/or
Maintenance Costs to report.

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: Co-Occurring
Infrastructure Measures—NEW
SAMHSA’s Center for Mental Health
Services and Center for Substance
Abuse Treatment will implement
provider-level performance measures
about the screening, assessment, and
treatment of co-occurring disorders.
Implementation will be limited to the 15
current States with Co-occurring State
Incentive Grants (COSIG), and States
receiving COSIG grants in 2006 and
future years. SAMHSA anticipates
awarding two COSIG grants in 2006.
COSIG grants enable States to develop
or enhance their infrastructure and

capacity to provide accessible, effective,
comprehensive, coordinated/integrated,
and evidence-based treatment services
to persons with co-occurring substance
abuse and mental disorders. Only the
immediate Office of the Governor of
States may receive COSIG grants,
because SAMHSA considers the Office
of the Governor to have the greatest
potential to provide the multi-agency
leadership needed to accomplish COSIG
goals. COSIG grantees may use COSIG
grants to improve service systems in one
or more of five areas: Standardized
Screening and Assessment, Licensure
and Credentialing, Service Coordination
and Network Building, Financial
Planning, and Information Sharing. The
COSIG program is part of SAMHSA plan
to achieve certain goals regarding
services for persons with co-occurring
substance use and mental disorders:
• Increase percentage of treatment
programs that screen for co-occurring
disorders;
• Increase percentage of treatment
programs that assess for co-occurring
disorders;
• Increase percentage of treatment
programs that treat co-occurring
disorders through collaborative,
consultative, and integrated models of
care;
• Increase the number of persons
with co-occurring disorders served.
The proposed measures will enable
SAMHSA to benchmark and track
progress toward these goals within
COSIG states.
Information will be collected annually
about providers’ policies regarding
screening, assessing and treatment
services for persons with co-occurring
disorders; the number and percentage of
programs that offer screening,
assessment, and treatment services for
co-occurring disorders; and the number
of clients actually screened, assessed,
and treated through these programs.
A questionnaire, to be completed by
providers, contains 47 items, answered
either by checking a box or entering a
number in a blank. The questionnaire is
available both in printed form and
electronically. Obtaining the
information to enter on the
questionnaire will require respondent
