Proposed Project: 2009 Survey of
Revenues and Expenditures (SRE)—
NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health
Services (CMHS) will conduct a 2009
SRE. This national survey represents a
survey of mental health and substance
abuse treatment facilities. These
separate service locations are called
facilities, in contrast to mental health
and substance abuse organizations,
which may include multiple facilities
(service locations). This survey will be
a sample survey of all known mental
health and substance abuse treatment
facilities nationwide with a particular
focus on revenues and expenditures.
The survey will begin with a stratified
random sample of 1,500 facilities drawn
from other SAMHSA databases. In
addition, a control subsample of 100
facilities drawn from the original 1,500
will be drawn and pursued beyond the
planned three follow-up attempts with
the entire sample. The control sample
will provide estimates of non-response
bias upon the results of the data
analyses.

The 2009 SRE will utilize one
questionnaire for all mental health and
substance abuse treatment facility types
including hospitals, residential
treatment centers and outpatient clinics.
The information collected will include
annual revenue and expenditures,
staffing, and active caseload size. All
treatment facilities will have the option
of completing the survey instrument
online via the Internet, by telephone
with an interviewer, or using a paper
version of the questionnaire.
The resulting database will be used
for national estimates of facility types,
their revenues and expenditures, and
their patient caseloads. These findings
will be used to update SAMHSA’s
national spending on mental health and
substance abuse treatment estimates.
The survey results will be published by
CMHS in Data Highlights, in Mental
Health, United States, and in
professional journals such as Psychiatric
Services and the American Journal of
Psychiatry. The publication Mental
Health, United States is used by the
general public, State governments, the
U.S. Congress, university researchers,
and other health care professionals. The
following Table summarizes the
estimated response burden for the
survey.
