Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request

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

Project: An Exploration of Peer
Recovery Support Services Across State
Behavioral Health Systems—NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Center for Behavioral
Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ)
is proposing a pilot study to obtain an
overview of peer recovery services
across state behavioral health systems.
In an effort to support behavioral health
systems’ adoption and management of
recovery oriented services, SAMHSA
created the Bringing Recovery Supports
to Scale Technical Assistance Center
Strategy (BRSS TACS). BRSS TACS is a
mechanism for implementing
SAMHSA’s Recovery Support Strategic
Initiative. A goal of this initiative is to
understand the finance and quality
assurance issues that impact the
development of peer recovery personnel
in the workforce and the services they
deliver. A grasp of these complex issues
can enable BRSS TACS to advance its
work of supporting states by creating
policy guidance on best practices for
effectively deploying peer recovery
support services in integrated healthcare
delivery systems as mandated by the
Affordable Care Act.
The proposed pilot study will utilize
a semi-structured interview
questionnaire with state and
organizational representatives from
mental health and substance abuse
agencies. Questions of interest include
(1) an examination of how
reimbursement of peer support services
is linked to peer roles, delivery settings,
and funding streams; (2) quality
assurance issues such as credentialing
and supervision of peer support
personnel; (3) procedures for
monitoring, evaluating, and sustaining
peer support services; and (4) challenges
of delivering peer recovery services in
the era of Affordable Care Act.
The representatives (n=40) from state
and organizational agencies of mental
health and substance abuse will
represent a state from the 10 public
health regions. States are identified by
SAMHSA subject matter experts and
stakeholders who are familiar with the
structure and function of peer recovery
support services. The sampling
recommended by SAMHSA experts and
stakeholders is a selection of states that
have a strong history of providing peer
led services and have an active peerbased organization.
The total estimated respondent
burden is 20 hours for the period from
April 2014 through September 2014.

respondent burden estimate.
