The evaluation of the CAM–FTDC
project will collect data on children,
parents/caregivers, family functioning
and interagency collaboration. The
domains specified in the Request for
Applications (RFA) are: (1) Child
Outcomes; (2) Parent/Caregiver
Outcomes; (3) Family Functioning; and,
(4) Interagency Collaboration.
To the greatest extent possible, the
data elements are operationally defined
using standard definitions in child
welfare and substance abuse treatment.
The use of standard data definitions
will reduce the data collection burden
on grantees as these variables are
collected through data collection
procedures that currently exist through
all publically funded child welfare and
substance abuse treatment systems. The
CAM–FTDC performance measures are
data currently collected by programs as
part of their normal operations (e.g.,
placement status in child welfare
services, substance abuse treatment
entry dates). Thus, no primary data
collection from clients will be required
as the grantees will be abstracting
existing data. The information utilized
for the North Carolina Family
Assessment Scale rating is obtained
Assessment Scale, and an interagency
collaboration survey administered to
CAM FTDC program staff.
Exhibit 1 presents the estimated total
cost burden associated with the
collection of the CAM–FTDC data
elements. The following estimates
represent the minimum CAM–FTDC
clients required to be served by the
CAM–FTDC grantees (i.e., a minimum
of 20 methamphetamine-using clients is
required in order to have a sufficient
number of participants in the program ×
12 grantees). The identified respondent
for the annualized hour burden for the
child, parent/caregiver and family
functioning elements is the grantee staff
person who will extract data from
CAM–FTDC client. For the interagency
collaboration measure, the respondent is
identified as a CAM–FTDC staff
member. It is estimated that 10 CAM–
FTDC staff members from each of the 12
grantees will complete the interagency
collaboration measure. The estimated
total cost of the time that will be spent
completing data collection is $18,400
(total number of respondent hours ×
$18.40, the estimated average hourly
wages for adults as published by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2010).
during the intake interview that sites
engage in when determining program
eligibility and suitability. If needed, the
CAM FTDC staff member may
supplement this information by
obtaining information from other staff
that interact with the client (i.e., the
social worker familiar with the family)
or during a home visit (if this is part of
their program activities).
It should be re-emphasized that the
CAM–FTDC projects are expansions or
enhancements of FTDC partnerships
that currently have existing
relationships (and information sharing/
confidentiality agreements) in place. It
is through this existing information
sharing forum that the CAM grantees
will be able to obtain the requisite child
welfare and substance abuse treatment
performance measures.
The grantees will use electronic
abstraction and secondary data
collection for elements that are already
being collected by counties and States
in their reporting requirements of
Federally-mandated data. There are five
data sources that will be used to collect
and report the performance measures:
Two Federal child welfare data sets, a
Federal substance abuse treatment data
set, the North Carolina Family

Proposed Project: Triennial Evaluation
of the Projects for Assistance in
Transition from Homelessness
(PATH)—New
The Center for Mental Health Services
awards grants each fiscal year to each of
the States, the District of Columbia, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the
Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa,
and the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands from allotments
authorized under the PATH program
established by Public Law 101–645, 42
U.S.C. 290cc–21 et seq., the Stewart B.
McKinney Homeless Assistance
Amendments Act of 1990 (section 521 et
seq. of the Public Health Service (PHS)
Act). Section 522 of the PHS Act
requires that the grantee States and
Territories must expend their payments
under the Act solely for making grants
to political subdivisions of the State,
and to nonprofit private entities
(including community-based veterans’
organizations and other community
organizations) for the purpose of
providing services specified in the Act.
Available funding is allotted in
accordance with the formula provision
of section 524 of the PHS Act.
This submission is for a collection of
contextual, process, and outcome
information to evaluate the national
PATH program. Section 528 of the PHS
Act specifies that the Administrator of
the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration shall evaluate
at least once every 3 years the
expenditures of grants under this part
by eligible entities in order to ensure
that expenditures are consistent with
the provisions of this part. The
evaluation shall include
recommendations regarding changes in
program design or operations.
The Proposed Data Collection Includes
• Interviews with 10 State Path
Contacts (SPCs) and an online survey
with all 56 SPCs to gather more
information on how States plan, solicit,
and monitor local providers using
PATH funding; the challenges faced in
their operating environment, in working
with the populations they serve, and the
environment in which they work;
remaining gaps and needs as well as
possible solutions and
recommendations for bridging gaps and
filling needs and improving PATH
efficiency and effectiveness.
• Interviews with 20–60 local
providers and an online survey with 1
representative who provides face-to-
face, PATH-funded services to clients
selected randomly from each local
service provider (n = 483). Like SPC
interviews and online surveys, the focus
of this part of the data collection effort
will be on assessing local providers’
views on the challenges faced in their
operating environment, in working with
the populations they serve and the
environment in which they work; on
training received and needed; reporting
requirements and burden; remaining
gaps and needs and possible solutions
and recommendations for bridging gaps
and filling needs and improving PATH
efficiency and effectiveness.
• Focus groups with 8–12 consumers
that will be conducted on location at
each of the 10 PATH locations selected
for site visitation. The focus groups will
assess clients’ knowledge of PATH; the
types of services they receive;
satisfaction with services received;
perceived needs that are not being met;
and recommendations to improve
service access, delivery, and
comprehensiveness.
The estimated total burden for the
reporting requirements for the triennial
PATH evaluation is summarized in the
table below.
