Project: 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 the 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 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.

Project: 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 the 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 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

    The resulting database will be used for national estimates of

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,
