Proposed Project: Youth Programs
Evaluation—NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse
Treatment (CSAT) is conducting a crosssite external evaluation of three grantee
programs that are critical to its youth
treatment grants portfolio. The three
programs include the 2013 Cooperative
Agreements for State Adolescent and
Transitional Aged Youth Treatment
Enhancement and Dissemination (SYT–
ED), the 2015 and 2016 Cooperative
Agreements for State Adolescent and
Transitional Aged Youth Treatment
Enhancement and Dissemination
Implementation (SYT–I), and the 2015
Cooperative Agreements for State
Adolescent and Transitional Aged
Youth Treatment Enhancement and
Dissemination Planning (SYT–P).

Preventing and treating substance use
and/or mental health disorders are
essential to SAMHSA’s mission to
reduce the impact of behavioral health
conditions in America’s communities.
The specific populations (i.e.,
adolescents, youth) targeted by the
youth programs face a particular set of
behavioral health risks and each of the
grant programs helps provide targeted
services and evidence-based practices.
To evaluate the impact and success of
SYT program implementation the
evaluation includes the following data
collection tools:
• Implementation Interview Guide
• Sustainability Interview Guide
• Stakeholder Interview Guide
• Provider Survey
• Focus Group guides
These data collection tools will
provide essential information on each
grantee program beyond the
performance monitoring data already
collected by SAMHSA.
The Implementation, Sustainability,
and Stakeholder Interview Guides are
semi-structured interviews. They are
designed to collect data on information
related to program implementation
facilitators and barriers, infrastructure
development, factors related to
sustainability, and performance that
will inform ongoing recommendations
to improve program performance and
administration. These interview guides
were informed by interview guides used
successfully in other evaluations
including the SAMHSA Access to
Recovery Evaluation, ASPE Medicaid
Expansion Evaluation, and the
SAMHSA Homeless Programs
Evaluations. Each interview is estimated
to take approximately one hour. SYT
grantees and providers will participate
in an interview annually while their
program is active. SYT program
stakeholders will participate once
during the course of their respective
grant program. Stakeholders include
other organizations or agencies that
serve or have a stake hold in helping
this population, such as other state/
territory/tribe organizations (e.g., child
welfare organizations, justice agencies),
other community-based providers, or
community advocacy groups. Grantee
programs will be asked to complete the
implementation interview annually
until the last year of the grant program
when they will be asked to complete the
sustainability interview. Respondents
will include representatives from
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
grantee, provider and stakeholder
organizations involved in the SYT
programs.
The Provider Survey aims to collect
data to help identify program activities
and services that are being implemented
as part of the SYT grant programs and
the impact these activities/services may
have on client outcomes and treatment
systems. Substance abuse service
provider organizations (e.g., treatment
facilities implementing evidence-based
treatment practices) participating in
SYT–ED or SYT–I grants will be asked
to participate in the survey. The
provider survey will collect data on
linkages with the grantee and within the
youth substance use treatment system
for providing services and a safety net
to adolescents, transition age youth, and
their families. Topics around grantee
dissemination and outreach efforts as
well as evidence-based practices,
program costs and other training
activities will also be explored. The
Provider survey is estimated to take
approximately 1 hour and SYT–ED
provider respondents will complete the
survey 2 times, once per year, during
the cross-site evaluation while SYT–I
provider respondents will complete the
survey 3 times, once per year.
The Focus Group guides aim to collect
the clinicians’ and other direct care staff
members’ perspectives in implementing
SYT services and the facilitators,
barriers and challenges providers
encountered. These data will provide
valuable contextual data through which
to better understand the Provider Survey
data. Clinicians/staff members are
uniquely qualified to answer
implementation questions on a client,
staff and community level. The Focus
Groups will allow clinicians/staff
members to provide important
information around the impact of
evidence-based practices in the provider
organization and within the community
they serve. Clinicians/staff members
also will be asked about expectations
around evidence-based practices, the
effectiveness of implementing evidencebased practices, and the level of
engagement from their organization’s
leadership and the provider community
as a whole.
Each provider in the SYT–ED and
SYT–I grantee programs will complete
the Focus Group once and the estimated
time per group is 1.5 hours. For each
provider, an average of 6 respondents
are expected to join the Focus Group.

Proposed Project: Youth Programs Evaluation--NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is conducting a
cross-site external evaluation of three grantee programs that are
critical to its youth treatment grants portfolio. The three programs
include the 2013 Cooperative Agreements for State Adolescent and
Transitional Aged Youth Treatment Enhancement and Dissemination (SYT-

Transitional Aged Youth Treatment Enhancement and Dissemination
Implementation (SYT-I), and the 2015 Cooperative Agreements for State
Adolescent and Transitional Aged Youth Treatment Enhancement and

Preventing and treating substance use and/or mental health
disorders are essential to SAMHSA's mission to reduce the impact of
behavioral health conditions in America's communities. The specific
populations (i.e., adolescents, youth) targeted by the youth programs
face a particular set of behavioral health risks and each of the grant
programs helps provide targeted services and evidence-based practices.
To evaluate the impact and success of SYT program implementation the
evaluation includes the following data collection tools:
Implementation Interview Guide
Sustainability Interview Guide
Stakeholder Interview Guide
Provider Survey
Focus Group guides
These data collection tools will provide essential information on
each grantee program beyond the performance monitoring data already
collected by SAMHSA.
The Implementation, Sustainability, and Stakeholder Interview
Guides are semi-structured interviews. They are designed to collect
data on information related to program implementation facilitators and
barriers, infrastructure development, factors related to
sustainability, and performance that will inform ongoing
recommendations to improve program performance and administration.
These interview guides were informed by interview guides used
successfully in other evaluations including the SAMHSA Access to
Recovery Evaluation, ASPE Medicaid Expansion Evaluation, and the SAMHSA
Homeless Programs Evaluations. Each interview is estimated to take
approximately one hour. SYT grantees and providers will participate in
an interview annually while their program is active. SYT program
stakeholders will participate once during the course of their
respective grant program. Stakeholders include other organizations or
agencies that serve or have a stake hold in helping this population,
such as other state/territory/tribe organizations (e.g., child welfare
organizations, justice agencies), other community-based providers, or
community advocacy groups. Grantee programs will be asked to complete
the implementation interview annually until the last year of the grant
program when they will be asked to complete the sustainability
interview. Respondents will include representatives from grantee,
provider and stakeholder organizations involved in the SYT programs.
The Provider Survey aims to collect data to help identify program
activities and services that are being implemented as part of the SYT
grant programs and the impact these activities/services may have on
client outcomes and treatment systems. Substance abuse service provider
organizations (e.g., treatment facilities implementing evidence-based
treatment practices) participating in SYT-ED or SYT-I grants will be
asked to participate in the survey. The provider survey will collect
data on linkages with the grantee and within the youth substance use
treatment system for providing services and a safety net to
adolescents, transition age youth, and their families. Topics around
grantee dissemination and outreach efforts as well as evidence-based
practices, program costs and other training activities will also be
explored. The Provider survey is estimated to take approximately 1 hour
and SYT-ED provider respondents will complete the survey 2 times, once
per year, during the cross-site evaluation while SYT-I provider
respondents will complete the survey 3 times, once per year.
The Focus Group guides aim to collect the clinicians' and other
direct care staff members' perspectives in implementing SYT services
and the facilitators, barriers and challenges providers encountered.
These data will provide valuable contextual data through which to
better understand the Provider Survey data. Clinicians/staff members
are uniquely qualified to answer implementation questions on a client,
staff and community level. The Focus Groups will allow clinicians/staff
members to provide important information around the impact of evidence-
based practices in the provider organization and within the community
they serve. Clinicians/staff members also will be asked about
expectations around evidence-based practices, the effectiveness of
implementing evidence-based practices, and the level of engagement from
their organization's leadership and the provider community as a whole.
Each provider in the SYT-ED and SYT-I grantee programs will
complete the Focus Group once and the estimated time per group is 1.5
hours. For each provider, an average of 6 respondents are expected to
join the Focus Group.
