The Program currently collects client outcome measures from program participants who agree to participate in the evaluation. Data collection consists of interviews conducted at baseline, 6and 12-month intervals. The current proposal requests: 1. Substituting CMHS NOMS items for GPRA items. At the time of the previous OMB submission, the NOMS measures were not finalized. 2. Replacing the DC trauma Screen with a new set of traumatic event questions. The new trauma questions better reflect the experiences of the target population. 3. Replacing the Colorado Symptom Index with the BASIS 24. 4. Adding questions related to military service experience at the baseline. These items will be added to capture characteristics of the target population of the new grantee cohort, veterans. 5. Adding questions on military combat experience at the six month interview only. These items will capture the types of traumatic experiences among clients with a combat history. 6. Adding questions on lifetime mental health/substance use and service use and the CAGE to the baseline. These questions will be added to capture client’s history of involvement with mental health and substance abuse systems, and the four CAGE items assess alcohol dependence. 7. Adding several lifetime criminal justice questions. These questions will assess client’s lifetime involvement with the criminal justice system. 8. Adding the Recovery Enhancing Environment (REE) instrument to all interviews. The REE is a consumer oriented measure of recovery, a new and important program outcome. 9. Removing the MacArthur Perceived Coercion Scale from all instruments. 10. Removing the Mental Health Statistics Improvement Program questions from follow-up interviews. (These are replaced by a similar, but shorter, NOMS scale.) The NOMS measures that are proposed for substitution of the GPRA measures have the same administration time and do not lengthen the interview. Two of the proposed additions (the REE and the lifetime MH/SA) will add 5 minutes each and the criminal justice questions will add 3 minutes. The military service questions will add an average of 4 minutes, as not all respondents are expected to answer these questions because grantees may serve non-veteran clients. The removal of the MacArthur Coercion Instrument reduces the baseline interview by 5 minutes and removal of the MHSIP reduces the follow-up interview by 5 minutes.

Written comments should be received within 60 days of this notice. and/or released from jail/prison. The study will develop culturally-tailored and gender-specific educational materials that promote HIV testing among this population. The data collection process will take approximately 2 years. In Phase 1, local investigators will conduct qualitative interviews with 20 non-Hispanic black, heterosexual men, ages 18–25, who are recently arrested and/or released from jail/prison and meet screening criteria. The interviews will identify their attitudes towards HIV testing, socio-cultural norms, and perceived behavioral control factors that influence HIV testing. The interviews will also elicit their opinions of how to promote HIV testing among their peers. Each interview will last approximately 1.5 hours. During Phase 2, the results from Phase 1 will be used to identify variables for a survey that will examine attitudes towards HIV testing, sociocultural norms, and perceived behavioral control factors to HIV testing intentions and behaviors. The survey will include 250 non-Hispanic black heterosexual men, ages 18–25, who meet screening criteria. Each survey will last approximately 30 minutes. During Phase 3, using Phase 1 and 2 results, educational materials promoting HIV testing among 24 non-Hispanic black heterosexual men will be developed and pilot tested in focus groups of young black men who meet screening criteria to evaluate the acceptability of the materials. This study will provide important epidemiologic information useful for the development of HIV prevention interventions for young black men. There is no cost to respondents except for their time.

Project: Jail Diversion and Trauma Recovery--Priority to Veterans 
Program Evaluation--(OMB NO. 0930-0277)--Revision

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) has implemented the 
Targeted Capacity Expansion Grants for Jail Diversion Programs, and the 
Jail Diversion and Trauma Recovery Program represents the newest cohort 
of grantees. The Program currently collects client outcome measures 
from program participants who agree to participate in the evaluation. 
Data collection consists of interviews conducted at baseline, 6- and 
12-month intervals.
    The current proposal requests:
    1. Substituting CMHS NOMS items for GPRA items. At the time of the 
previous OMB submission, the NOMS measures were not finalized.
    2. Replacing the DC trauma Screen with a new set of traumatic event 
questions. The new trauma questions better reflect the experiences of 
the target population.
    3. Replacing the Colorado Symptom Index with the BASIS 24.
    4. Adding questions related to military service experience at the 
baseline. These items will be added to capture characteristics of the 
target population of the new grantee cohort, veterans.
    5. Adding questions on military combat experience at the six month 
interview only. These items will capture the types of traumatic 
experiences among clients with a combat history.
    6. Adding questions on lifetime mental health/substance use and 
service use and the CAGE to the baseline. These questions will be added 
to capture client's history of involvement with mental health and 
substance abuse systems, and the four CAGE items assess alcohol 
dependence.
    7. Adding several lifetime criminal justice questions. These 
questions will assess client's lifetime involvement with the criminal 
justice system.
    8. Adding the Recovery Enhancing Environment (REE) instrument to 
all interviews. The REE is a consumer oriented measure of recovery, a 
new and important program outcome.
    9. Removing the MacArthur Perceived Coercion Scale from all 
instruments.
    10. Removing the Mental Health Statistics Improvement Program 
questions from follow-up interviews. (These are replaced by a similar, 
but shorter, NOMS scale.)
    The NOMS measures that are proposed for substitution of the GPRA 
measures have the same administration time and do not lengthen the 
interview. Two of the proposed additions (the REE and the lifetime MH/
SA) will add 5 minutes each and the criminal justice questions will add 
3 minutes. The military service questions will add an average of 4 
minutes, as not all respondents are expected to answer these questions 
because grantees may serve non-veteran clients. The removal of the 
MacArthur Coercion Instrument reduces the baseline interview by 5 
minutes and removal of the MHSIP reduces the follow-up interview by 5 
minutes. The net lengthening of the instrument is 12 minutes for the 
baseline interview, and there is no net increase in length to the 6- 
and 12-month interviews.
    The Program also collects data on program participants from 
records. The revisions to these instruments are formatting in nature.
    New grantees were awarded on September 30, 2008 under the Jail 
Diversion and Trauma Recovery Program will commence data collection 
efforts in FY 2009; anticipated grantees awarded on September 30, 2009 
would commence data collection in FY 2010; and anticipated grantees 
awarded on September 30, 2010 would commence data collection in FY

\2\ The number of responses per respondent for the Events Tracking depends on the design of the jail diversion
  program and can range from a single screening for eligibility to four separate screenings; here 800 responses
  represents the average number of responses per respondent for the period based on the experience of the
  previous Grantees.
\3\ This estimate is an added burden proportion which is an adjustment reflecting the extent to which programs
  typically already collect the data items. The formula for calculating the proportion of added burden is: total
  number of items in the standard instrument, minus the number of core items currently included, divided by the
  total number of items in the standard instrument. For the Person Tracking program the burden estimate was
  calculated as follows: 56 times 0.65 (the proportion of added burden) = 36.
\4\ Record management forms (Service Use and Arrest) are only completed for those evaluation participants who
  receive both a Baseline interview and at least one follow-up (6- and/or 12-month) interview.
