DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

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.

Proposed Project: Drug and Alcohol Services Information System
(DASIS)--(OMB No. 0930-0106)--Revision

The request for OMB approval is a supplement to the full DASIS
request approved on November 8, 2005, and is being submitted in
accordance with the Terms of Clearance in that 2005 OMB Notice of
Action. The supplemental submission requests extension and revision of
DASIS, including approval to revise and conduct the National Survey of
Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS) following the pretest of
the questionnaire changes. The request revises only the N-SSATS-related
portion of the DASIS data collection. There are no changes to the other
DASIS components.
The DASIS consists of three related data systems: The Inventory of
Substance Abuse Treatment Services (I-SATS); the National Survey of
Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS), and the Treatment Episode
Data Set (TEDS). The I-SATS includes all substance abuse treatment
facilities known to SAMHSA. The N-SSATS is an annual survey of all
substance abuse treatment facilities listed in the I-SATS. The TEDS is
a compilation of client-level admission data and discharge data
submitted by States on clients treated in facilities that receive State
funds. Together, the three DASIS components provide information on the
location, scope and characteristics of all known drug and alcohol
treatment facilities in the United States, the number of persons in
treatment, and the characteristics of clients receiving services at
publicly-funded facilities. This information is needed to assess the
nature and extent of these resources, to identify gaps in services, to
provide a database for treatment referrals, and to assess demographic
and substance-related trends in treatment.
The request for OMB approval includes changes to the N-SSATS survey
and the Mini-N-SSATS. The Mini-N-SSATS is a procedure for collecting
services data from newly identified facilities between main cycles of
the N-SSATS survey and will be used to improve the listing of treatment
facilities in the on-line treatment facility Locator. The request
includes the following changes to the 2007 N-SSATS questionnaire, as
refined by the pretest findings: modification of the treatment
categories to incorporate terminology currently used in the substance
abuse treatment field; modification of the detoxification question,
including the addition of a follow-up question on whether the facility
uses drugs in detoxification and for which substances; the addition of
questions on clinical/therapeutic approaches; the addition of a
question on quality control procedures used by the facility; the
addition of a question on how many annual admissions to treatment were
funded by Access to Recovery (ATR) vouchers; and, the addition of a
question on whether the facility has a National Provider Identifier
(NPI.) The request will also include changes to the Mini-N-SSATS
questionnaire to modify the treatment categories to incorporate
terminology currently used in the substance abuse treatment field. The
remaining sections of the N-SSATS questionnaires will remain unchanged
except for minor modifications to wording. The request for OMB approval
will include a change in burden hours to include the full three years
of N-SSATS and mini-N-SSATS data collection, now that the N-SSATS
pretest has been completed. Also, the burden hours for the pretest are
being dropped.
No significant changes are expected in the other DASIS activities.
The estimated annual burden for the DASIS activities is as follows
[note--only the estimates for N-SSATS-related activities are changing]:
