Capacity for Alternatives to Restraint
and Seclusion (OMB No. 0930–0271)—
Revision
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health
Services has funded a Data Collection
and Analysis for the Alternatives to
Restraint and Seclusion Grant Program.
This contract is an evaluation of
SAMHSA’s State Incentive Grants to
Build Capacity for Alternatives to
Restraint and Seclusion. These grants
are designed to promote the
implementation and evaluation of best
practice approaches to reducing the use
of restraint and seclusion in mental
health facilities. Grantees consist of 8
sites (state mental health agencies), all
of which will be implementing
interventions in multiple facilities (a
total of 21 facilities). These include
facilities serving adults and those
serving children and/or adolescents,
with various subgroups such as forensic
and sexual offender populations.
With input from multiple experts in
the field of restraint and seclusion and
alternatives to restraint and seclusion,
the project created a common core of
data collection instruments that will be
used for this cross-site project. The
facilities will complete three different
instruments over a 3-year time period:
(1) Facility/Program Characteristics
Inventory (information about type of
facilities, characteristics of persons
served, staffing patterns, and unit
specific data); (2) Inventory of Seclusion
and Restraint Reduction Interventions;
(3) Seclusion and Restraint Event Data
Matrix (data about restraint and
seclusion rates within facilities and
units). Data will be submitted by the
sites electronically via a secured Web
site.
The Facility/Program Characteristics
Inventory and Inventory of Seclusion
and Restraint Reduction Intervention
will be collected annually. The
Seclusion and Restraint Event Data
Matrix will be collected monthly.
The resulting data will help to
identify the: (1) Number of programs
adopting best practices involving
alternative approaches to restraint and
seclusion; and (2) program’s impact of
reducing restraint and seclusion use and
adoption of alternative practices. The
estimated maximal annual response
burden to collect this information is by
grant year.

Proposed Project: Evaluation of the
Native American Rehabilitation
Association of the Northwest, Inc.
(NARA–NW) Native Youth Suicide
Prevention Program (NYSP) funded
through the Garrett Lee Smith State/
Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention and
Early Intervention Program—New.
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health
Services (CMHS) is conducting an
evaluation of program activities being
conducted for a 2005-funded Garrett Lee
Smith (GLS) State/Tribal Youth Suicide
Prevention and Early Intervention
Program grantee. This evaluation effort
is planned for the Native Youth Suicide
Prevention Program of the Native
American Rehabilitation Association of
the Northwest, Inc. (NARA–NW) in
Oregon, and builds upon their existing
local evaluation that is being
implemented and funded through the
GLS grant program. The data collected
through this evaluation will address the
process and impact of program activities
for Tribal youth in Oregon. The purpose
of the proposed evaluation is to evaluate
intermediate- and long-term outcomes
associated with suicide prevention
program activities being implemented
with nine Tribes that NARA–NW serves.
The following describes the specific
data collection activities and the data
collection instruments to be used,
followed by a summary table of the
number of respondents and the
respondent burden:
• Native American Rehabilitation
Association of the Northwest, Inc.
(NARA–NW) Oregon Native Youth
Survey. This component of the
evaluation will assess suicide-related
risk and protective factors at the
individual, family, school, and
community levels. The survey will be
administered to a convenience sample
of 300 youth in targeted communities.
Survey participants will be drawn from
the estimated 840 eligible youth
members in these nine Tribal
communities. The exact number of
youth recruited from any given Tribe
will depend on the size of the youth
population, the success of recruitment
activities, and the availability of
parents/guardians from whom informed
consent can be obtained. The survey
includes questions related to risk and
protective factors at the individual,
family, school, and community levels.
Risk factors measured by the survey
include alienation, rebelliousness, early
and persistent antisocial behavior, drug
and alcohol abuse in the home, criminal
and violent behavior, poverty,
neighborhood cohesion, and community
drug use, violence and crime. The
survey questions and format were
derived primarily from State and
Federal surveys currently in use with
this population. Additional questions
on protective factors were developed by
NARA–NW evaluators. The survey
includes 110 multiple choice, Likert
scale, and open-ended questions which
will take approximately 45 minutes to
complete.
• Native Youth Suicide Prevention
Program Focus Group Moderators
Guide. This component will assess the
degree to which prevention activities
sponsored by Tribes’ grant programs
had an impact on various risk and
protective factors and will help
researchers more fully understand the
community context in which the Oregon
Native Youth Survey is administered.
Questions address the degree to which
youth feel supported by their
community and build on the list of risk
and protective factors covered in the
survey. One focus group per
participating Tribe (for a total of up to
nine focus groups) will be conducted in
FY 2008. Youth, ages 12–19, who
participated in one of the prevention
activities undertaken by the Native
Youth Suicide Prevention Program in
their tribal community, will be recruited
for each focus group. Recruitment will
be conducted in collaboration with the
agency/community group that
sponsored the prevention activity. A
group of up to 12 participants per
participating Tribe will be randomly
selected from the pool of eligible youth
participants with the informed consent
of their parents. The total number of
focus group participants will not exceed
72. Groups will last approximately 90
minutes.

Proposed Project: Garrett Lee Smith
Campus Case Studies funded through
the Garrett Lee Smith Youth Suicide
Prevention and Early Intervention
Programs—New.
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health
Services (CMHS) is conducting up to six
campus cases studies with Garrett Lee
Smith (GLS) Youth Suicide Prevention
and Early Intervention Campus Program
grantees. The GLS Campus Case Studies
(CCS) build upon campus’ existing local
evaluation being implemented and
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
funded through the GLS grant program.
The goal of the CCS is to understand
how a public health approach is
successfully applied as a model for
campus suicide prevention efforts, and
will explore, in a systematic manner:
the suicide prevention related
infrastructures and supports (e.g.,
clinical and non-clinical) that exist on
up to six selected GLS-funded
campuses; the various student-level
factors that are related to suicide
prevention efforts (e.g., protective
factors, coping strategies, social norms,
and facilitators and barriers to student
access and receipt of behavioral
healthcare); campus interdepartmental
collaboration and the relationship
between various efforts to promote
student mental health and wellness; and
the extent to which the campus
infrastructures and supports promote
and address these factors.
The data collected through this
project will contribute to the knowledge
base regarding a successful model for
suicide prevention that integrates
multiple prevention programs targeting
risk and protective behaviors which
place students at risk for a host of
negative mental and physical health
outcomes correlated with suicide,
including violence, stress, untreated
depression and mental illness, and
academic failure. The strategies
targeting various populations on
campus will also be discussed, as well
as the campus policies and procedures
which facilitate campus efforts related
to mental health promotion and crisis
response. The CCS design includes
three data collection strategies: (1) Case
study key informant interviews (CSIs);
(2) focus groups with students, faculty,
and staff; and (3) an Enhanced Module
to the OMB-approved Suicide
Prevention Exposure, Awareness and
Knowledge Survey—Student Version
(OMB No. 0930–0286) administered to a
sample of students. Data collection is
planned to commence in fall 2008. CCS
activities will be implemented on up to
six GLS-funded campuses.
The following describes the specific
data collection activities and the data
collection instruments to be used,
followed by a summary table of the
number of respondents and the
respondent burden:
• Enhanced Module for the SPEAKS.
The Enhanced Module will be added to
the OMB-approved Suicide Prevention
Exposure, Awareness, and Knowledge
Survey (SPEAKS)—Student Version
(OMB No. 0930–0286). The Enhanced
Module examines coping strategies,
help-seeking behaviors, awareness of
available mental health services, and
risk and protective factors across the

student population. Questions include
the availability of resources to provide
assistance to those at risk for suicide;
the types of coping strategies they use
when experiencing stress; from whom,
if anyone, they would seek help; if they
have dealt with mental health issues,
sought help, and experienced trauma;
and their use of protective factors. The
Enhanced Module is Web-based and
includes multiple-choice, Likert-scale,
and yes/no questions. The Enhanced
Module includes 16 items and will take
approximately 10 minutes to complete.
The Enhanced Module will be
administered at each campus once in
conjunction with the SPEAKS—Student
Version to a random sample of 200
students.
• Student Focus Group Moderator’s
Guide. This component will assess
student risk and protective factors
related to mental health, help-seeking
behaviors, and knowledge of prevention
activities on campus and their perceived
effectiveness. This will help researchers
more fully understand student-level
factors in relation to population-level
factors addressed by the Enhanced
Module for the SPEAKS. Questions
address stressors that different groups of
students face while in college, barriers
to seeking help, attitudes and stigma
related to seeking help, and the
accessibility of the campus counseling
center. Six of the following seven
groups of students will participate in
focus groups on each campus, as
decided by the campus: (1) First-year
students, (2) athletes, (3) international
students, (4) Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and
Transgender (LGBT) students, (5) Greek
life students, (6) graduate students, and
(7) residential advisors/peer educators.
Recruitment will be conducted by
campus project staff. Focus groups will
include a maximum of 9 students. Thus,
the total number of student focus group
participants will not exceed 324. Groups
will last approximately 90 minutes.
• Faculty/Staff Focus Group
Moderator’s Guide. The faculty and staff
focus groups will assess the campus’
approach to prevention, attitudes and
stigma around student mental health
and wellness on campus, campus
infrastructure supports for students who
need mental health help, and the
general campus climate around mental
health and wellness. Faculty and staff
will also describe their knowledge of
prevention activities on campus and
their perceived effectiveness of these
efforts. Local campus staff will recruit
appropriate respondents for the faculty
and staff focus groups to include a
maximum of 9 respondents per group.

conducted in FY 2008. Youth, ages 12-19, who participated in one of the
prevention activities undertaken by the Native Youth Suicide Prevention
Program in their tribal community, will be recruited for each focus
group. Recruitment will be conducted in collaboration with the agency/
community group that sponsored the prevention activity. A group of up
to 12 participants per participating Tribe will be randomly selected
from the pool of eligible youth participants with the informed consent
of their parents. The total number of focus group participants will not
