Project: SAMHSA SOAR Web-Based
Data Form—NEW
In 2009 the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services created a
Technical Assistance Center to assist in
the implementation of the SSI/SSDI
Outreach Access and Recovery (SOAR)
effort in all states. SOAR’s primary
objective is to improve the allowance
rate for Social Security Administration
(SSA) disability benefits for people who
are homeless or at risk of homelessness,
and who have serious mental illnesses.
SOAR has three main components:
strategic planning for systems change,
training for case managers and ongoing
technical assistance.
During the SOAR training, the
importance of keeping track of SSI/SSDI
applications through the process is
stressed, since the process is complex
and involves several steps. In response
to requests from states implementing
SOAR, the Technical Assistance Center
under SAMHSA’s direction developed a
web-based data form that case managers
can use to track the progress of
submitted applications, including
E:\FR\FM\17AUN1.SGM
17AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 159 / Wednesday, August 17, 2011 / Notices
decisions received from SSA either on
initial application or on appeal. This
password-protected web-based data
form will be housed on the SOAR Web
site (https://www.prainc.com/soar). Use
of this form is completely voluntary.
In addition, data from the web-based
form can be compiled into reports on
decision results and the use of SOAR
core components, such as the SSA–1696
Appointment of Representative which
allows SSA to communicate directly
with the case manager assisting with the
application. These reports will be
reviewed by agency directors, SOAR
state-level leads, and the national SOAR
51045
Technical Assistance Center and SOAR
national evaluation team to quantify the
success of the effort overall and to
identify areas where additional
technical assistance is needed.

Project: Children Affected by
Methamphetamine in Family Drug
Treatment Court—NEW
In 2010, the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse
Treatment (CSAT), provided funding to
12 existing Family Treatment Drug
Courts (FTDCs) for enhancement and/or
expansion of their FTDC’s capabilities
to provide psycho-social, emotional and
mental health services to children (0–17
years) and their families who have
methamphetamine use disorders and
involvement in child protective
services. This program was authorized
in House Report 111–220 accompanying
H.R. 3293 in 2010. The Committee
language stated that ‘‘these grants will
support a collaborative approach,
including treatment providers, child
welfare specialists, and judges, to
provide community-based social
services for the children of
methamphetamine-addicted parents,’’
and were to be awarded to Family
Dependency Treatment Drug Courts.
The proposed data collection for the
grantees, referred to as the Children
Affected by Methamphetamine in
Family Treatment Drug Court (CAM–
FTDC) project, will provide knowledge
about the services needed and provided
to these and similar families. The data
to be collected by the CAM–FTDC
program is SAMHSA’s first Federal data
collection effort focused specifically on
the needs of children whose parents
have a substance use disorder and are
participating in an FTDC and on
effective strategies to address their
needs. The information collected
through the CAM–FTDC program will
benefit SAMHSA by providing an indepth understanding of the needs of the
children and families served by CAM–
FTDC. Findings from this program will
provide SAMHSA with valuable
information regarding appropriate
service interventions for this population
and, ultimately, inform SAMHSA on
how the agency can best meet the needs
of future drug endangered children. The
PO 00000

results from this data collection will
serve to inform future decisions
regarding funding by SAMHSA as well
as establish an evidence base for the
practices undertaken for other localities
and programs implementing Family
Treatment Drug Courts.
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
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/
