Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: An Outcome Evaluation of the
SOS Suicide Prevention Program; OMB
Control Number 0720–TBD.
Needs and Uses: The information
collection requirement is necessary to
evaluate the effectiveness of the SOS
Suicide Prevention Program which is
used as suicide prevention
programming in middle and high
schools throughout the country. The
surveys are completed in school and
then returned to the University of
Connecticut’s Institute for Public Health
Research for analysis.
Affected Public: Middle and high
school students in state schools.
Annual Burden Hours: 840.
Number of Respondents: 840.
Responses per Respondent: 2.
Average Burden per Response: 30
minutes.
Frequency: Once.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
Respondents are middle and high
school students who are receiving the
SOS Suicide Prevention Program in
their schools. The SOS Program is a
video-based educational program used
by middle and high schools throughout
the country in order to educate students
about the signs and symptoms of
depression and suicidality. An Outcome
Evaluation of the SOS Suicide
Prevention Program will assess the
degree to which the SOS program
fosters greater knowledge of and more
adaptive attitudes toward depression
and suicide, increases rates of helpseeking, and reduces rates of suicidal
ideation and suicide attempts.
This program evaluation will survey
middle and high school students in
grades 6–12 in schools that administer
the SOS program. All schools will be
located near military bases and have
high proportions of students with
parents or caretakers in the military.
Surveys will be administered to
students at two points in time, once
before receipt of the SOS program and
once about 3 months after receipt of the
program. A screening form is also
included as a part of the program. The
goal is to have approximately 840
civilian students in up to 25 schools.
This evaluation will allow school
officials to make evidence based
decisions regarding programming in
their schools. Without this evaluation
we risk delivering ineffective
programming to students.

Summary of Information Collection
The Health Professions Scholarship
Program (HPSP) offers prospective
military physicians, dentists, nurse
practitioners, optometrists,
psychologists, and veterinarians a paid
medical education in exchange for
service as a commissioned medical
department officer. Programs are
available in the United States Army, the
United States Navy, and the United
States Air Force (AFHPSP).
Created under authority of the
Uniformed Services Health Professions
Revitalization Act of 1972, the HPSP is
the primary source of trained healthcare
professionals entering the United States
Armed Forces. Subject to eligibility for
a commission (such as U.S. citizenship,
physical and academic qualifications,
etc.), scholarship ‘‘selectees’’ are
commissioned as second lieutenants in
the U.S. Army Reserve or the U.S. Air
Force Reserve, or ensigns in the U.S.
Navy Reserve. The selectees are then
placed on inactive reserve status during
their medical training.
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
Prospective students compete for
scholarships that cover some or all of
the medical school years. The Air Force
offers three- and four-year scholarships,
and the Army offers one- to four-year
scholarships. While on scholarship, the
financial expenses of tuition, fees, a
monthly stipend, and mandatory books
and equipment are paid by the student’s
sponsoring service.
As inactive reserve officers, the
students are required to serve 45 days of
active duty for training (ADT) each
fiscal year. While on active duty, they
receive the same rights, privileges, and
pay, and are subject to the Uniform
Code of Military Justice, as any other
active-duty officer. For the first two
years of training, this duty is sometimes
spent attending an officer basic course/
school (Army, Navy, Air Force) or
executing ‘‘School Orders’’
(participating in clinical training) at the
student’s university. For the 3rd and 4th
years, the student will often carry out
elective clinical rotations at a military
hospital.
Upon graduation, the student is
promoted to the rank of captain in the
Army and Air Force, or lieutenant in the
Navy, and is placed on active duty for
residency in a military or civilian
hospital. In general, Army and Air Force
medical residents are allowed to
complete their residencies before
proceeding to their first assignments,
while Navy personnel complete an
internship and then serve as a general
medical officer (GMO), with the option
of completing a residency following
their GMO tour.
The incurred service obligation is
generally one-for-one for every servicepaid year of schooling, with a minimum
of two years for physicians and three
years for other specialties. Additional
time required for certain postgraduate
programs, such as lengthy residencies,
can result in longer service obligations.
Fulfillment of the obligation begins only
after postgraduate training is completed.
For Navy officers, time spent as a GMO
is credited towards the service
obligation.
This collection will consolidate and
standardize requirements across the
Services for the collection and reporting
of needed information as it pertains to
the enrollee.
