Proposed Project: Evaluation of
SAMHSA Primary and Behavioral
Health Care Integration Grant
Program.—Revision—OMB No. 0990–
0371—Assistant Secretary for Planning
and Evaluation.
Abstract: The Assistant Secretary for
Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) and the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration are funding an
independent evaluation of the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration/Center for
Mental Health Services’ (SAMHSA/
CMHS) Primary and Behavioral Health
Care Integration (PBHCI) grant program.
Four-year PBHCI grants for up to
$500,000 per year were awarded to
thirteen grantees on September 30,
2009. A second group of nine grants and
a third group of 34 grants were awarded
September 30, 2010, for a total of 56
grants. The purpose of the PBHCI
program is to improve the overall
wellness and physical health status of
people with serious mental illnesses
(SMI), including individuals with cooccurring substance use disorders, by
supporting communities to coordinate
and integrate primary care services into
publicly-funded community mental
health and other community-based
behavioral health settings. The
information collected through the 3 year
evaluation will assist SAMHSA in
assessing whether integrated primary
care services produce improvements in
the physical and mental health of the
SMI population receiving services from
community-based behavioral health
agencies. Data will be collected from
grantee staff at all sites and from clients
at up to 10 sites (client exam/survey).
An Emergency Clearance Request
covering the first six months of data
collection starting February 15, 2011
and ending August 14, 2011 was
approved February 15, 2011. This
submission will cover data collection
for the period starting August 15, 2011
and ending October 1, 2013.

Security Administration (EBSA) is
requesting Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval on a new
collection to conduct a survey on
employers to learn about their
experiences and attitudes regarding
workplace wellness programs. ASPE
will use the employers’ experience to
assess the effectiveness and impact of
workplace wellness programs, as well as
identify best practices and lessons
learned in program implementation
with a particular focus on the use of
incentives. As part of the study, a onetime, self-administered survey will be
administered to 3,000 employers
selected from the Dun & Bradstreet
database, a comprehensive listing of
private companies and government
agencies in the U.S. The survey will
assess prevalence and type of wellness
programs as well as the use of employee
incentives. The survey design and
content is informed by a review of the
literature on the characteristics,
prevalence and impact of workplace
wellness programs. Data collection will
also include employee focus groups and
key informant semi-structured
interviews at each of 4 employer sites
that will inform in-depth case studies of
those employers. The focus groups will
consist of 12 employees and will be
conducted to get the end-user
perspective on the impact and
effectiveness of the wellness program.
The key informant interviews will be
carried out with 5 wellness leaders at
each employer, and will gather
information on employer background,
health insurance and wellness programs
offered, and anticipated changes due to
the Affordable Care Act. Data collection
activities will be completed within 18
months of OMB Clearance.

Proposed Project
Testing and Evaluation of Tobacco
Communication Activities—New
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Tobacco use remains the leading
preventable cause of death in the United
States, causing over 443,000 deaths each
year and resulting in an annual cost of
more than $96 billion in direct medical
expenses. The only proven strategy for
reducing the risk of tobacco-related
morbidity and mortality is to never
smoke, or to quit if tobacco use has been
initiated.
Within the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), the Office on
Smoking and Health (OSH) serves as a
primary resource of tobacco and health
information for the public, health
professionals, various branches of
government, and other interested
groups. OSH distributes tobacco-related

health communications using a wide
array of formats and media channels,
conducts formative research to develop
and test tobacco-related
communications, and evaluates the
effectiveness of messages and
campaigns. OSH employs a strategic and
systematic approach to the design and
evaluation of high-quality health
messages and campaigns, by applying
scientific methods to the development
of health messages, obtaining input from
public health partners, and pre-testing
with target audiences.
Recent legislative developments
highlight the importance of tobacco
control—and appropriate tobacco
control messages—in efforts to improve
the nation’s health. These developments
include the Prevention and Public
Health Fund, established by the
Affordable Care Act (ACA), which
supports initiatives designed to reduce
the health and financial burden of
tobacco use through prevention and
cessation approaches. An essential
component of this initiative is a national
campaign to increase awareness of the
health consequences of tobacco use and
exposure to secondhand smoke. OSH is
primarily responsible for planning,
implementing, and evaluating the
campaign.
CDC requests OMB approval of a new,
generic clearance mechanism to support
information collection for the
development, implementation and
evaluation of tobacco-related health
messages and campaigns. The proposed
generic mechanism will establish a
