SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Suicidal
ideation is an uncommon symptom than
can emerge during antidepressant
treatment. The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) requires a black
box warning of worsening depression
and/or emergence of suicidality (i.e.,
development of suicidal thoughts or
behavior) for both adult and pediatric
patients taking antidepressant
medications. While use of
antidepressants fell after to the black
box warning, studies suggest that
pediatric suicides may actually be
rising. This has led to concerns that the
black box warning led to a decrease in
treatment and resulted in an overall
increase in suicides. The Sequenced
Treatment Alternatives for Depression
(STAR*D) trial at NIH found that
versions of genes coding for components
of the brain’s chemical messenger
system may be linked to suicidal
thinking associated with antidepressant
use. If links between genes and suicidal

thinking are validated under a license,
depressed individuals at higher risk for
suicide could benefit from closer
monitoring, alternative treatments, or
specialty care while allowing more
aggressive treatment in individuals
without the increased risk.
The prospective exclusive license will
be royalty bearing and will comply with
the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C.
209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The prospective
exclusive license may be granted unless
within sixty (60) days from the date of
this published notice, the NIH receives
written evidence and argument that
establishes that the grant of the license
would not be consistent with the
requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37
CFR 404.7.
Applications for a license in the field
of use filed in response to this notice
will be treated as objections to the grant
of the contemplated exclusive license.
Comments and objections submitted to
this notice will not be made available
for public inspection and, to the extent
permitted by law, will not be released
under the Freedom of Information Act,

Project: Strategic Prevention
Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF
SIG) Program (OMB No. 0930–0279)
Revision
SAMHSA’s Center for Substance
Abuse Prevention (CSAP) is responsible
for the evaluation instruments of the
Strategic Prevention Framework State
Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) Program. The
program is a major national initiative
designed to: (1) Prevent the onset and

reduce the progression of substance
abuse, including childhood and
underage drinking; (2) reduce substance
abuse related problems in communities;
and (3) build prevention capacity and
infrastructure at the State/territory/tribe
and community levels.
Five steps comprise the SPF:
Step 1: Profile population needs,
resources, and readiness to address
needs and gaps.
Step 2: Mobilize and/or build capacity
to address needs.
Step 3: Develop a comprehensive
strategic plan.
Step 4: Implement evidence-based
prevention programs, policies, and
practices.
Step 5: Monitor, evaluate, sustain, and
improve or replace those that fail.
An evaluation team is currently
implementing a multi-method, quasiexperimental evaluation of the first two
SPF SIG cohorts receiving grants in FY
2004 and FY 2005. This notice invites
comment on grantee-level, communitylevel, and participant-level data
collection instruments designed for the
cross-site evaluation of 16 Cohort 3
grantees receiving grants in FY 2006 and
20 Cohort 4 grantees. Since the ultimate
goal is to fund all eligible jurisdictions,
there are no control groups at the
grantee level. The primary evaluation
objective is to determine the impact of
SPF SIG on the SAMHSA National
Outcomes Measures (NOMs). Data
collected at the grantee, community,
and participant levels using the three
instruments will be combined in an
analysis that investigates the
relationship, if any, between the SPF
process and substance use outcomes at
individual and community levels. The
instruments will be included in an OMB
review package submitted immediately
after the expiration of the comment
period and are the main focus of this
announcement.
Grantee-Level Data Collection
Two instruments were developed for
assessing grantee-level effects. Both
instruments are guides for interviews
that will be conducted by the grantees’
evaluators twice over the life of the SPF
SIG award. These instruments are
modified versions of those used in the
SPF SIG Cohort 1 and 2 Cross-Site
Evaluation Study (OMB No. 09300279).
The total burden of the original
instruments has been reduced by
deleting several questions and replacing
the majority of open-ended questions
with multiple-choice-response
questions. The Strategic Prevention
Framework Implementation Interview
Protocol will be used to assess the
relationship between SPF

implementation and change in the
NOMs. The Infrastructure Instrument
will capture data to assess infrastructure
change and to test the relationship of
this change to outcomes.
Prevention infrastructure refers to the
organizational features of the system
that delivers prevention services,
including all procedures related to
planning, data management systems,
workforce development, intervention
implementation, evaluation and
monitoring, financial management, and
sustainability. The estimated annual
burden for grantee-level data collection
is outlined below:

Community-Level Data Collection
(Revision)
The Community-Level Instrument is a
two part, web-based survey for
capturing information about SPF SIG
implementation at the subrecipient
community level. The instrument is a
modified version of the one in use in the
SPF SIG Cohorts 1 and 2 Cross-Site
Evaluation Study (OMB No. 09300279).
The total burden of the original
instrument was reduced by deleting
several questions.
Part 1 of the instrument focuses on
the five SPF SIG steps and efforts to
ensure cultural competency throughout
the SPF SIG process. Part 2 will capture
data on the specific intervention(s)
implemented at the community level,
including both individual-focused and
environmental prevention strategies.
Part 2 is a modular instrument that
includes separate subforms for each of
the eight different intervention types.
This part will be completed for each
intervention implemented during the
reporting period, selecting only those
subforms that apply to the interventions
being reported. Community partners
receiving SPF SIG awards will be
required to complete the entire online
survey once and enter updates every six
months, using a secure password
system. The estimated annual burden
for community-level data collection is
displayed in the next table. Note that
the total burden assumes an average of
85.5
15 community-level subrecipients per
grantee (a total of 540 respondents), an
average of three distinct interventions
implemented by each community, and
two survey updates per year.
Additionally, some questions will be
addressed only once and the responses
will be used to pre-fill subsequent
updates. As community partners work
through the SPF steps, they will report
only on step-related activities. For
example, needs assessment activities
will likely precede monitoring and
evaluation activities. Thus, respondents
will answer questions related to needs
assessment in the first few reports but
will not need to address monitoring and
evaluation items until later in the
implementation process.

Participant-Level Data Collection (New
Section)
Participant-level data will be
collected from all participants in direct
service programs which last 30 days or
more. Two instruments will be used for
this purpose, one for participants aged
12–17 (youth instrument) and the other
for participants aged 18 or older (adult
instrument). The core sections of the
two instruments will be the CSAP
NOMs Adult and Youth Programs
Survey Forms (OMB No. 09300230).
Local evaluators will have the option of
selecting one or more additional survey
items from a standard menu of validated
questions not included in the NOMs
Instruments, based on site-specific
targeted program outcomes. These
optional questions will be added to the
NOMs Instruments to create site-specific
instruments. No site-specific instrument
created in this fashion will exceed an
average completion time of 50 minutes.
The participant-level instruments will
be administered to each participant at
program entry, program exit, and six
months after program exit. The
following burden estimation is based on
the assumption that each of the 540
community subrecipients will serve 50
participants per year in direct-service
interventions lasting 30 days or more,
amounting to 27,000 participants per
year.

Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) Program. The program is a
major national initiative designed to: (1) Prevent the onset and reduce
the progression of substance abuse, including childhood and underage
drinking; (2) reduce substance abuse related problems in communities;
and (3) build prevention capacity and infrastructure at the State/
territory/tribe and community levels.
Five steps comprise the SPF:
Step 1: Profile population needs, resources, and readiness to
address needs and gaps.
Step 2: Mobilize and/or build capacity to address needs.
Step 3: Develop a comprehensive strategic plan.
Step 4: Implement evidence-based prevention programs, policies, and

Step 5: Monitor, evaluate, sustain, and improve or replace those
that fail.
An evaluation team is currently implementing a multi-method, quasi-
experimental evaluation of the first two SPF SIG cohorts receiving
grants in FY 2004 and FY 2005. This notice invites comment on grantee-
level, community-level, and participant-level data collection
instruments designed for the cross-site evaluation of 16 Cohort 3
grantees receiving grants in FY 2006 and 20 Cohort 4 grantees. Since
the ultimate goal is to fund all eligible jurisdictions, there are no

respondents), an average of three distinct interventions implemented by
each community, and two survey updates per year. Additionally, some
questions will be addressed only once and the responses will be used to
pre-fill subsequent updates. As community partners work through the SPF
steps, they will report only on step-related activities. For example,
needs assessment activities will likely precede monitoring and
evaluation activities. Thus, respondents will answer questions related
to needs assessment in the first few reports but will not need to
address monitoring and evaluation items until later in the
implementation process.

Participant-Level Data Collection (New Section)
Participant-level data will be collected from all participants in
direct service programs which last 30 days or more. Two instruments
will be used for this purpose, one for participants aged 12-17 (youth
instrument) and the other for participants aged 18 or older (adult
instrument). The core sections of the two instruments will be the CSAP
NOMs Adult and Youth Programs Survey Forms (OMB No. 09300230). Local
evaluators will have the option of selecting one or more additional
survey items from a standard menu of validated questions not included
in the NOMs Instruments, based on site-specific targeted program
outcomes. These optional questions will be added to the NOMs
Instruments to create site-specific instruments. No site-specific
instrument created in this fashion will exceed an average completion
time of 50 minutes.
The participant-level instruments will be administered to each
participant at program entry, program exit, and six months after
program exit. The following burden estimation is based on the
assumption that each of the 540 community subrecipients will serve 50
participants per year in direct-service interventions lasting 30 days
or more, amounting to 27,000 participants per year.

Overall SPF-SIG Data Collection
Across the three instruments, it is estimated that the average
number of annual respondents will be 36 grantee-level directors, 540
community-level directors, and 68,400 intervention-level participants.
The average annual hour burden will be 685.2 hours for the 36 grantee-
level directors (19 hours per grantee director); 2,531.3 hours for the
540 community-level directors (4.69 hours per community director); and
56,772 hours for 68,400 intervention-level participants (0.83 hours per
intervention participant).
