Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: As part of NCI’s mandate
from Congress to disseminate
information on cancer research,
detection, prevention, and treatment,
the Institute develops a wide variety of
messages and materials. Testing these
messages and materials assesses their
potential effectiveness in reaching and
communicating with their intended
audience while they are still in the
developmental stage and can be revised.
The formative research and pretesting
process thus contributes to maximizing
NCI’s limited dollar resources for
information dissemination and
education. NCI also must ensure the
relevance, utility, and appropriateness
of the many educational programs and
products that the Institute produces.
Customer satisfaction studies help NCI
identify modifications necessary to meet
the needs of NCI’s various target
audiences. Since the previous
submission, there have been 10
approved sub-studies with an approved
request of just under 1400 burden hours
over 2.5 years. Approval is requested for
the conduct of multiple studies
annually using such methods as
interviews, focus groups, and various
types of surveys. The content, timing,
and number of respondents to be
included in each sub-study will vary,
depending on the nature of the message/
material/program being assessed, the
methodology selected, and the target
audiences.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
33,000.

In 2009 the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services established
a Technical Assistance Center to assist
in the implementation of the SSI/SSDI
Outreach Access and Recovery (SOAR)
effort in all states. The primary objective
of SOAR is to improve the allowance
rate for Social Security Administration
(SSA) disability benefits for people who
are experiencing or at risk of
homelessness, and who have a serious
mental illness.
During the SOAR training, the
importance of keeping track of SSI/SSDI
applications through the process is
stressed. In response to requests from
states implementing SOAR, the

Technical Assistance Center, under
SAMHSA’s direction, developed a webbased data form that case managers can
use to track the progress of submitted
applications, including decisions
received from SSA either on initial
application or on appeal. This
password-protected web-based data
form is hosted on the SOAR Web site
(https://soartrack.prainc.com). Use of
this form is completely voluntary.
In addition, data from the web-based
form can be compiled into reports on
decision results and the use of SOAR
core components, such as the SSA–1696
Appointment of Representative, which
allows SSA to communicate directly
with the case manager assisting with the
application. These reports will be
reviewed by agency directors, SOAR
state-level leads, and the national SOAR
Technical Assistance Center to quantify
the success of the effort overall and to
identify areas where additional
technical assistance is needed.
The changes to this form include
questions on military discharge status,
VA disability compensation, applicant
earnings per month, number of
consultative exams ordered, and
whether access to benefits facilitated
housing. Additionally, we added three
questions to the user registration form
that include county, funding source,
and SOAR training completed.

Project: 2017 National Survey on Drug
Use and Health (OMB No. 0930–0110)—
Revision
The National Survey on Drug Use and
Health (NSDUH) is a survey of the U.S.
civilian, non-institutionalized
population aged 12 years old or older.
The data are used to determine the
prevalence of use of tobacco products,
alcohol, illicit substances, and illicit use
of prescription drugs. The results are
used by SAMHSA, the Office of
National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP),
Federal government agencies, and other
organizations and researchers to
establish policy, direct program
activities, and better allocate resources.

Periodically, the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration
While NSDUH must be updated
periodically to reflect changing
substance use and mental health issues
and to continue producing current data,
for the 2017 NSDUH only the following
minor changes are planned: (1) Updated
questions so respondents who report no
use of alcohol are not asked about
misuse of prescription drugs with
alcohol; and (2) included other minor
wording changes to improve the flow of
the interview, increase respondent
comprehension or to be consistent with
text in other questions.
As with all NSDUH/NHSDA 1 surveys
conducted since 1999, the sample size
of the survey for 2017 will be sufficient
to permit prevalence estimates for each
of the fifty States and the District of
Columbia. The total annual burden
estimate is shown below in Table 1.
