Survey, and Post Construction O&M
Survey. Need and Use of Information
Collection: The IHS goal is to raise the
health status of the American Indian
and Alaska Native people to the highest
possible level by providing
comprehensive health care and
preventive health services. To support
the IHS mission, the Sanitation
Facilities Construction Program (SFCP)
provides technical and financial
assistance to American Indian Tribes
and Alaska Native villages for
cooperative development and continued
operation of safe water, wastewater, and
solid waste systems and related support
facilities.
The IHS of Environmental Health and
Engineering (OEHE), SFCP ‘‘Customer
Satisfaction Surveys,’’ will provide the
information needed to complete these
goals. With the information collected
from Tribal homeowners, Tribal leaders,
and Tribal operation and maintenance
operators, the Sanitation facilities
programs will make improvements that
will result in improved quality of
services.
Voluntary customer satisfaction
surveys will be conducted through
phone calls, mail, and the Internet. The
information gathered will be used by
agency management and staff to identify
strengths and weaknesses in current
service provision, to plan and redirect
resources, to make improvements that
are practical and feasible, and to
provide vital feedback to partner

Project: Adult Treatment Drug Court
Cross-Site Evaluation for the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA)—NEW
SAMHSA’s Center for Substance
Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is responsible
for collecting data from 20 recently
funded Adult Treatment Drug Court
grantees and clients being served by
expansion and/or enhancement grants.
The main evaluation question is
whether the addition of substance abuse
treatment resources increases the
positive results of drug courts.
SAMHSA’s CSAT-funded grantees are
required to participate in a cross-site
evaluation as a contingency of their
award. Data on each drug court and
their processes will be collected during
three annual site visits. Some data will
be obtained through courtroom
observations; no questionnaire will be
administered to collect observational
data. Additional data will be collected
through interviews with drug court
personnel and focus groups and
interviews with drug court clients.
CSAT requests approval for
administering questionnaires to drug
court personnel. CSAT also requests
approval for conducting focus groups
with drug court clients and
administering questionnaires at 6months post-discharge from the drug
court.

Drug Court Team Questionnaire
This questionnaire will be
administered to key drug court
personnel (e.g., judge, drug court
manager and treatment provider) during
the three annual site visits to the drug
court. This instrument consists of 15
open-ended questions, and will ask
respondents about their role and
involvement in the drug court process,
perceptions of drug courts, and the role
of treatment and coercion in drug courts
(subject to OMB approval).
Drug Court Client Focus Group
Questions for Guided Discussion
Focus groups will be conducted
during the annual site visits to each
drug court. During the focus groups,
drug court clients will be asked 12
open-ended questions about their
experiences in the drug court program
and current efforts towards recovery.
Drug court participants will be involved
in focus groups on 1 to 3 occasions.
Procedural Justice Questionnaire
This instrument contains 13 items
and asks drug court clients about their
perceptions regarding fair treatment by
the judge and drug court team during
the drug court process. It is
hypothesized that participants who
Correctional Mental Health Screener
for Men
perceive the judge and drug court team
as fair will be more compliant with the
drug court program, more likely to
graduate, and have better substance use
and criminal behavior outcomes (e.g.,
reduced substance use, fewer arrests).
This questionnaire will be administered
to drug court participants once, during
the 6-month post-discharge interview.
A mental health screener for men
(CMHS–M) will be administered to
gather data on drug court participants’
mental health. Many drug court clients
have co-occurring disorders (i.e.,
substance use and mental health
disorders). The information gathered
during this portion of the in-person drug
court client interviews will provide a
post-discharge indicator of mental
health status and will be used as a
moderator variable when assessing
client outcomes such as drug use and
arrest. This questionnaire will be
administered to drug court participants
once, during the 6-month post-discharge
interview. The CMHS–M contains
twelve questions and the two
instruments have six items in common.
Correctional Mental Health Screener
for Women
A mental health screener for women
(CMHS–W) will be administered to
gather data on drug court participants’
mental health. Many drug court clients
have co-occurring disorders (i.e.,
substance use and mental health
disorders). The information gathered
during this portion of the in-person drug
court client interviews will provide a
post-discharge indicator of mental
health status and will be used as a
moderator variable when assessing
client outcomes such as drug use and
arrest. This questionnaire will be
administered to drug court participants
once, during the 6-month post-discharge
interview. The CMHS–W contains eight
questions, and six items are common
between the men and women’s versions
of the instrument.
Treatment Satisfaction Index
The Treatment Satisfaction Index will
ask drug court participants about their
satisfaction with treatment received
during the drug court program. This 19item questionnaire will be administered
to drug court participants once, during
the 6-month post-discharge interview.
The estimated response burden for
this data collection is provided in the

The estimates in this table reflect the
maximum burden for participation in
the Adult Treatment Drug Court CrossSite Evaluation. Burden for drug court
personnel is aggregated to reflect total
burden over the three-year study period.
The drug court personnel questionnaire
will be administered three times; once
during each of three study years. Burden
for the drug court clients is annualized.
Focus groups and interviews are onetime events. Some drug court clients
will participate in both a focus group
and 6-month post-discharge interview.
