Periodically, the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) will publish a summary of
information collection requests under
OMB review, in compliance with the

Proposed Project: 2011–2014 National
Survey on Drug Use and Health:
Methodological Field Tests (OMB No.
0930–0290)–Revision
The National Survey on Drug Use and
Health (NSDUH) is a survey of the
civilian, non-institutionalized
population of the United States 12 years
old and older. The data are used to
determine the prevalence of use of
tobacco products, alcohol, illicit
substances, and illicit use of
prescription drugs. The results are used
by SAMHSA, ONDCP, Federal
Government agencies, and other
organizations and researchers to
establish policy, direct program
activities, and better allocate resources.
In March 2008, SAMHSA received a
3-year renewal of its generic clearance
for methodological field tests. This will
be a request for another renewal of the
generic approval to continue
methodological tests over the next 3
years, with conditions similar to the
previous clearance. These
methodological tests will continue to be
designed to examine the feasibility,
quality, and efficiency of new
procedures or revisions to existing
survey protocol. Specifically, the tests
will measure the reliability and validity
of certain questionnaire sections and
items through multiple measurements
on a set of respondents; assess new
methods for gaining cooperation and
participation of respondents with the
goal of increasing response and
decreasing potential bias in the survey
estimates; and assess the impact of new
sampling techniques and technologies
on respondent behavior and reporting.
Research will involve focus groups,
cognitive laboratory testing, field tests,
and customer surveys.
The next wave of methodological tests
will continue to examine ways to
increase data quality, lower operating
costs, and gain a better understanding of

sources and effects of nonsampling error
on the NSDUH estimates. Particular
attention will be given to minimizing
the impact of design changes so that
survey data continue to remain
comparable over time. If these tests
provide successful results, current
number of subjects and burden hours for
each test are unknown at this time, but
will be clearly outlined in each
individual submission. The table below,
however, describes the anticipated
burden for each of the major testing
activities for which generic approval is
being tested.
procedures or data collection
instruments may be revised.
The number of respondents to be
included in each field test will vary,
depending on the nature of the subject
being tested and the target population.
However, the total estimated response
burden is 8,251 hours. The exact

Project: Screening, Brief Intervention,
Brief Treatment and Referral to
Treatment (SBIRT) Cross-Site
Evaluation—New
SAMHSA is conducting a cross-site
external evaluation of the impact of
programs of screening, brief
intervention (BI), brief treatment (BT)
and referral to treatment on patients
presenting at various health care
delivery units with a continuum of
severity of substance use. SAMHSA’s
SBIRT program is a cooperative
agreement grant program designed to
help States and Tribal Councils expand
the continuum of care available for
substance misuse and use disorders.
The program includes screening, brief
intervention, brief treatment and
referrals to treatment for persons at risk
for dependence on alcohol or drugs. The
cross-site evaluation will provide a
comprehensive assessment of the effects
of SBIRT on patient outcomes,
performance site practices, and
treatment systems. This information
will allow SAMHSA to determine the
extent to which SBIRT has met its
objectives of implementing a
comprehensive system of identification
and care to meet the needs of
individuals at all points along the
substance use continuum.
A paper and pencil survey will be
administered to practitioners in sites
where SBIRT services are being
delivered. The practitioner survey is
designed to evaluate the
implementation of proposed SBIRT
models by measuring their penetration
and practitioners’ willingness to adopt.
Furthermore, the survey will document
moderating factors related to
practitioner and health care delivery
unit characteristics.
The 93 question practitioner survey
includes collection of demographic
information as well as questions that
attempt to assess barriers to
implementation encountered by the
practitioners and to gauge the
effectiveness of the training they
received. These measures were
developed and used by Babor et al.
(2005) in their comparable study
comparing different implementation
strategies for primary care screening and
brief intervention programs for
hazardous and harmful drinkers. The
practitioner survey also includes an
instrument developed by Panzano and
Roth (2006) to measures an
organization’s willingness to adopt new
innovative practices.
