Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
In compliance with Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 concerning
opportunity for public comment on
proposed collections of information, the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA)
will publish periodic summaries of
proposed projects. To request more
information on the proposed projects or
to obtain a copy of the information
collection plans, call the SAMHSA
Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276–
1243.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collections of information
are necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

at risk for HIV, and at risk for substance
use disorders (SUDs). VITEL provides
supplemental funding to existing
SAMHSA Targeted Capacity Expansion:
Substance Abuse Treatment for Racial/
Ethnic Minority Women at High Risk for
HIV/AIDS (TCE–HIV: Minority Women)
grantees. The goals of the VITEL
program are (1) reduce IPV through
screening and referrals, (2) reduce risky
behaviors that lead to new HIV
infections and SUDs, (3) increase access
to care and improve health outcomes for
people living with HIV and AIDS, (4)
reduce HIV-related health disparities
resultant from IPV screening tool
implementation, and (5) determine the
feasibility of integrating IPV screening
in behavioral health settings. A multistage approach has been used to develop
the appropriate theoretical framework,
conceptual model, evaluation design
and protocols, and data collection
instrumentation. Process and outcome
measures have been developed to fully
capture community and contextual
conditions, the scope of the VITEL
program implementation and activities,
and client outcomes. A mixed-method
approach (e.g., surveys, semi-structured
interviews, focus groups) will be used,
for example, to examine collaborative
community linkages established
between grantees and other service
providers (e.g., primary health care,
SUD recovery), determine which
program models and what type and
amount of client exposure to services
contribute to significant changes in IPV,
SUD, and HIV risk behaviors of the
targeted populations, and determine the
impact of VITEL services on providers,
clients, and communities.
The data collection for this program
will be conducted quarterly (during this
one year supplemental period) and the
client outcome data collection will be
ongoing throughout the program and
will be collected at baseline, discharge
and 6-months post baseline for all
treatment clients. The respondents are
clinic-based social workers and
counselors, clinic-based administrators
and clinic-based clients. The estimated
annualized burden is summarized

Qualitative Data Collection Activity—
NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse
Treatment (CSAT) and Center for
Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality
(CBHSQ) are proposing to conduct
qualitative data collection activities (i.e.,
focus group and site visits) to assess

adoption practices among SAMHSA
grantees. As part of its Strategic
Initiative to advance the use of health
information technologies to support
integrated behavioral health care,
SAMHSA has been working to develop
questions that will examine HIT
adoption by behavioral health service
providers who are implementing
SAMHSA grant programs. The selected
programs are funded by the by the
Center for Mental Health Services
(CMHS), the Center for Substance Abuse
Prevention (CSAP), and (CSAT).
This project seeks to expand data
necessary to inform the Agency’s
strategic initiative that focuses on
fostering the adoption of health
information technologies in community
behavioral health services. The
qualitative activities will elicit success
stories, challenges to adopting health
information technologies, and lessons
learned regarding SAMHSA grantee
access to and use of health information
technology and will provide valuable
information to inform the behavioral
health information technology
literature.
Approval of this data collection effort
by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) will allow SAMHSA to
identify the current status of health
information technology adoption and
use among a select group of grantees
who have demonstrated success in at
least one of the identified health
information technology categories:
Certified electronic health records,
telehealth technologies, mobile health,
and social media-based consumer
engagement tools. Data from the focus
groups and site visits will allow
SAMHSA to enhance the health
information technology-related
programmatic activities among its

grantees by providing data on how
health information technologies
facilitate the implementation of
different types of SAMHSA grants;
thereby fostering the appropriate
adoption of health information
technologies within SAMSHA-funded
programs.
Ten (10) respective focus groups and
site visit sessions will collect qualitative
data to provide a snapshot view of the
current state of health information
technology adoption. The focus groups
will include up to six participations per
session and will be representative of the
ten Department of Health and Human
Services Regions. Site visit participants
will be selected from among SAMHSAfunded grant programs and non-profit
community behavioral health providers
nominated by Project Officers as
exemplars in the field of health
information technologies, with
recognized success in at least one of the
four health information technology
domain categories.
The proposed ten (10) in-person focus
group sessions will not exceed 90minutes in duration and will be limited
to no less than six (6) and no more than
(8) participants. The proposed ten (10)
in-person site visit sessions will not
exceed eight (8) hours in duration and
will include, on average two (2)
participants at any one time during the
visit. The focus group and site visit
sessions are expected to occur between
the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. and
will allow sufficient time for food and
personal breaks. The total estimated
burden to participate in the focus
groups is 120 hours. The total estimated
burden to participate in the site visits is
160 hours. The following table
summarizes the estimated participation
burden:
