Project: Networking Suicide Prevention
Hotlines—Evaluation of the Lifeline
Policies for Helping Callers at
Imminent Risk (OMB No. 0930–0333)—
REVISION
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health
Services (CMHS) funds a National
Suicide Prevention Lifeline Network
(‘‘Lifeline’’), consisting of a toll-free
telephone number that routes calls from
anywhere in the United States to a
network of local crisis centers. In turn,
the local centers link callers to local
emergency, mental health, and social
service resources. This project is a
revision of the Evaluation of Lifeline
Policies for Helping Callers at Risk and
builds on previously approved data
collection activities [Evaluation of
Networking Suicide Prevention Hotlines
Follow-Up Assessment (OMB No. 0930–
0274) and Call Monitoring of National
Suicide Prevention Lifeline Form (OMB
No. 0930–0275)]. The extension and
revision data collection is an effort to
advance the understanding of crisis
hotline utilization and its impact.
The overarching purpose of the
proposed Evaluation of the Lifeline
Policies for Helping Callers at Imminent
Risk is to implement data collection to
evaluate hotline counselors’
management of imminent risk callers
and third party callers concerned about
persons at imminent risk, and counselor
adherence to Lifeline Policies and
Guidelines for Helping Callers at
Imminent Risk of Suicide. Specifically,
the Evaluation of the Lifeline Policies
for Helping Callers at Imminent Risk
will collect data, using a revised
imminent risk form, to inform the
network’s knowledge of the extent to
which counselors are aware of and
being guided by the Lifeline’s imminent
risk guidelines; counselors’ definitions
of imminent risk; the rates of active
rescue of imminent risk callers; types of
rescue (voluntary or involuntary);
barriers to intervention; circumstances

in which active rescue is initiated,
including the caller’s agreement to
receive the intervention, profile of
imminent risk callers; and the types of
interventions counselors used with
them.
Approval is being requested for one
activity to assess the knowledge,
actions, and practices of counselors to
aid callers who are determined to be at
imminent risk for suicide and who may
require active rescue. This evaluation
will allow researchers to examine and
understand the actions taken by
counselors to aid imminent risk callers,
the need for active rescue, the types of
interventions used, and, ultimately,
improve the delivery of crisis hotline
services to imminent risk callers. A total
of eight new centers will participate in
this evaluation. Thus, SAMHSA is
requesting OMB review and approval of
the National Suicide Prevention
Lifeline—Imminent Risk Form-Revised.
Crisis counselors at eight new
participating centers will record
information discussed with imminent
risk callers on the Imminent Risk FormRevised, which does not require direct
data collection from callers. As with
previously approved evaluations, callers
will maintain anonymity. Counselors
will be asked to complete the form for
100% of imminent risk callers to the
eight centers participating in the
evaluation. This form requests
information in 15 content areas, each
with multiple sub-items and response
options. Response options include
open-ended, yes/no, Likert-type ratings,
and multiple choice/check all that
apply. The form also requests
demographic information on the caller,
the identification of the center and
counselor submitting the form, and the
date of the call. Specifically, the form is
divided into the following sections: (1)
Counselor information, (2) center
information, (3) call characteristics (e.g.,
line called, language spoken,
participation of third party), (4) suicidal
desire, (5) suicidal intent, (6) suicidal
capability, (7) buffers to suicide, (8)
E:\FR\FM\29DEN1.SGM
29DEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 248 / Monday, December 29, 2014 / Notices
interventions agreed to by caller or
implemented by counselor without
caller’s consent, (9) whether imminent
risk was reduced enough such that
active rescue was not needed, (10)
interventions for third party callers
calling about a person at imminent risk,
(11) whether supervisory consultation
occurred during or after the call, (12)
barriers to getting needed help to the
person at imminent risk, (13) steps
taken to confirm whether emergency
contact was made with person at risk,
(14) outcome of attempts to rescue
person at risk, and (15) outcome of
attempts to follow-up on the case. The
revised form reduces and streamlines
responses options for intervention
questions. It also adds information
about the center, the call (e.g., language
and military service), interventions (e.g.,
supervisor contact, rescue initiation),
78099
and follow-up/outcome. The form will
take approximately 15 minutes to
complete and may be completed by the
counselor during or after the call. It is
expected that a total of 750 forms will
be completed by 132 counselors over
the three-year data collection period.
The estimated response burden to
collect this information is annualized
over the requested three-year clearance
period and is presented below:
