diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD) and what clinicians
actually implement in treatment
settings. A quality improvement
initiative that measures clinicians’ use
of evidence based treatment and
promotes feedback to providers from the
consumers’ perspective may enhance
the adoption of evidence based services.
This could ultimately improve the
quality of care and consumer health
outcomes.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Quality measures of the
treatment of PTSD in concordance with
evidence-based methods do not
currently exist and could be used to
reduce this gap. ASPE, in partnership
with NIMH, has undertaken this project
to pretest 3 surveys (a clinician, clinical
supervisor, and consumer measure) of
the delivery of evidence based
psychotherapies to adults with PTSD.
The current data collection is scheduled
to occur only once, over a 6 month time
period in summer 2014 through the
winter of 2014 at a total of 6 behavioral
health care sites.
Likely Respondents: Respondents are
clinicians, clinician’s supervisors and
consumers.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,

collect information on how program
staff allocate their time across program
activities. An economic evaluation form
will collect information on program
impact findings needed to assess the
cost-effectiveness and benefit-cost of
selected programs.
Likely Respondents: A subset of up to
30 OAH TPP Program grantees will be
asked to participate in the cost analysis.
Of these 30 grantees, up to 15 will also
be asked to participate in the economic
evaluation. Study respondents will
include the grant administrator or fiscal
agent, the grantee’s evaluator, and
program staff.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
