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
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: Registration for
Behavioral Health Web Site and
Resources (OMB No. 0930–0313)—
Extension
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) is requesting OMB approval
for an extension to the Behavioral
Health Web site and Resources data
collection. SAMHSA is authorized
under section 501(d)(16) of the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
290aa(d)(16)) to develop and distribute
materials for the prevention, treatment,
and recovery from substance abuse and
mental health disorders. To improve
customer service and lessen the burden
on the public to locate and obtain these
materials, SAMHSA has developed a
Web site that includes more than 1,400
free publications from SAMHSA and its
component Agencies: the Center for
Substance Abuse Treatment, the Center
for Substance Abuse Prevention, the
Center for Mental Health Services, the
Center for Behavioral Health Statistics
and Quality, and other SAMHSA
partners, such as the Office of National
Drug Control Policy. These products are
available to the public for ordering and
download. When a member of the
public chooses to order hard-copy
publications, it is necessary for
SAMHSA to collect certain customer
information in order to fulfill the
request. To further lessen the burden on
the public and provide the level of
PO 00000
Frm 00076
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
customer service that the public has
come to expect from product Web sites,
SAMHSA has developed a voluntary
registration process for its publication
Web site that allows customers to create
accounts. Through these accounts,
SAMHSA customers are able to access
their order histories and save their
shipping addresses. This reduces the
burden on customers of having to reidentify materials they ordered in the
past and to re-enter their shipping
information each time they place an
order with SAMHSA. During the Web
site registration process, SAMHSA also
asks customers to provide optional
demographic information that helps
SAMHSA evaluate the use and
distribution of its publications and
improve services to the public.
SAMHSA is employing a web-based
form for information collection to avoid
duplication and unnecessary burden on
customers who register both for an
account on the product Web site and for
email updates. The web technology
allows SAMHSA to integrate the email
update subscription process into the
Web site account registration process.
Customers who register for an account
on the product Web site are given the
option of being enrolled automatically
to receive SAMHSA email updates. Any
optional questions answered by the
customer during the Web site
registration process automatically are
mapped to the profile generated for the
email update system, thereby reducing
the collection of duplicate information.
SAMHSA collects all customer
information submitted for Web site
registration and email update
subscriptions electronically via a series
of web forms on the samhsa.gov
domain. Customers can submit the web
forms at their leisure, or call SAMHSA’s
toll-free Call Center and an information
specialist will submit the forms on their
behalf. The electronic collection of
information reduces the burden on the
respondent and streamlines the datacapturing process. SAMHSA places Web
site registration information into a

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

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.
