Data Collection Component
SAMHSA/CSAP will use a web-based
method to collect data through the
Organizer Survey and a paper-andpencil approach to collect data through
the Participant Form. The web-based
application will comply with the
requirements of Section 508 of the
Rehabilitation Act to permit
accessibility to people with disabilities.
Every 2 years, the Organizer Survey
will be completed by an estimated 3,400
THM event organizers and will require
only one response per respondent. It
will take an average of 20 minutes
(0.333 hours) to review the instructions
and complete the survey. This burden
estimate is based on comments from
three 2012 THM organizers who
reviewed the survey and provided
comments on how long it would take
them to complete it.
The Participant Form will be
completed by an average of 30
participants per sampled communitybased organization (n=400) and will
require only one response per
respondent. It will take an average of 5
minutes (0.083 hours) to review the
instructions and complete the form.

SAMHSA supports nationwide THMs
every other year. Collecting data on each
round of THMs, and using this
information to inform policy and
measure impact, supports SAMHSA’s
strategic initiative number 1: Prevention
of substance abuse and mental illness. A
specific goal under this initiative is to
prevent or reduce the consequences of
underage drinking and adult problem
drinking; a specific objective is to
establish the prevention of underage
drinking as a priority issue for states,
territories, tribal entities, colleges and
universities, and communities.
SAMHSA will use the information
collected to document the
implementation efforts of this
nationwide initiative, determine if the
federally sponsored THMs lead to
additional activities within the
community that are aimed at preventing
and reducing underage drinking,
identify what these activities may
possibly include, and help plan for
future rounds of THMs. SAMHSA
intends to post online a summary
document of each round of THMs and
present findings at national conferences
attended by community-based
organizations that have hosted THMs
and might host future events. Similarly,
SAMHSA plans to share findings with
the Interagency Coordinating Committee
on the Prevention of Underage Drinking:
Agencies within this committee
encourage their grantees to participate
as event hosts. Additionally, the
information collected will support
performance measurement for SAMHSA
programs under the Government
Performance Results Act.
