Project: National Mental Health
Services Survey (N–MHSS) (OMB No.
0930–0119)—Revision
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Center for Behavioral
Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ)
is requesting a revision to the National
Mental Health Services Survey (N–
MHSS) (OMB No. 0930–0119), which
expires on February 28, 2017. The N–
MHSS provides annual national and
state-level data on the number and
characteristics of mental health
treatment facilities in the United States
and biennial national and state-level
data on the number and characteristics
of persons treated in these facilities.
The N–MHSS will provide updated
information about facilities for
SAMHSA’s online Behavioral Health
Treatment Services Locator (see: https://
findtreatment.samhsa.gov), which was
last updated with information from the
abbreviated N–MHSS (N–MHSS-Locator
Survey) in 2015. An abbreviated N–
MHSS (N–MHSS-Locator Survey) will
be conducted in 2017 and 2019 to
update the information about facilities
in the online Locator. A full-scale N–
MHSS will be conducted in 2018 to
collect (1) information about facilities
needed for updating the online Locator,
such as the facility name and address,
specific services offered, and special
client groups served and (2) additional
information about client counts and the
demographics of persons treated in
these facilities. Three small surveys are
proposed for adding new facilities to the
online Locator as they become known to
SAMHSA. Both the 2017 N–MHSSLocator Survey and the addition of new
facilities to the online Locator will use
the same N–MHSS-Locator Survey
instrument.
This request for a revision seeks to
change the content of the currently
approved abbreviated N–MHSS (i.e., N–
MHSS–Locator) survey instrument, and
the previously approved 2014 and 2016
full-scale N–MHSS (OMB No. 0930–
0119) to accommodate two related N–
MHSS activities:
(1) collection of information from the
total N–MHSS universe of mental health
treatment facilities during 2017, 2018,
and 2019; and
(2) collection of information on newly
identified facilities throughout the year
as they are identified so that new
facilities can quickly be added to the
online Locator.
The survey mode for both data
collection activities will be web with
telephone follow-up. A paper
questionnaire will also be available to
facilities who request one.
The database resulting from the N–
MHSS will be used to update
SAMHSA’s online Behavioral Health
Treatment Services Locator and to
produce an electronic version of a
national directory of mental health
facilities, for use by the general public,
behavioral health professionals, and
treatment service providers. In addition,
a data file derived from the survey will
be used to produce a summary report
providing national and state-level
outcomes. The summary report and a
public-use data file will be used by
researchers, mental health professionals,
State governments, the U.S. Congress,
and the general public.
The request for OMB approval will
include a request to conduct an
abbreviated N–MHSS-Locator survey in
2017 and 2019, and the full-scale N–
MHSS in 2018.

estimated annual response burden for

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 project 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 collection of information
is 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
1. Parent/Caregiver Pre-Test/Post-Test Survey
2. Youth Pre-Test and Post-Test Survey
3. Parent/Caregiver Interview Guide
The case studies collection is part of
a larger effort to evaluate the impact of
the ‘‘Talk. They Hear You.’’ Campaign.
These evaluations will help determine
the extent to which the campaign has
been successful in educating parents
and caregivers nationwide about
effective methods for reducing underage
drinking. The Campaign is designed to
educate and empower parents and
caregivers to talk with children about
alcohol. To prevent initiation of
underage drinking, the campaign targets
parents and caregivers of children aged
9–15, with the specific aims of:
1. Increasing parents’ awareness of the
prevalence and risk of underage drinking
2. Equipping parents with the knowledge,
skills, and confidence to prevent
underage drinking
3. Increasing parents’ actions to prevent
underage drinking.
For this evaluation, SAMHSA intends
to measure knowledge and attitudes
before and after a focused campaign
outreach effort in areas that have not
previously had significant exposure to
the campaign. Participants in the
evaluation will be recruited from a
middle school community, and will
include parents/caregivers and students.
School administrators and partnering
organization(s), such as parent
organizations and/or local prevention
organizations will assist in the
dissemination of campaign materials
and data collection efforts. There will be
two sites selected for the case studies—
one site will serve as the experimental
group and the other site will serve as the
control group. The experimental group
will be exposed to the ‘‘Talk. They Hear
You.’’ messages using standard
campaign materials and dissemination
strategies, which will be coordinated
through a local partner organization.
The control group will not be
intentionally exposed to the campaign
materials. The case studies will include
baseline surveys of parents/caregivers
and children of middle-school age in
both the experimental and control
communities, followed by exposure to
campaign materials in the experimental
community, and post-exposure surveys
of parents and children in both
communities. Additionally, SAMHSA
will conduct 30 interviews with parents
and caregivers following the postexposure surveys at the experimental
site to obtain more detailed information
about the specific impact of the
campaign.

Project: National Mental Health Services Survey (N-MHSS) (OMB No. 0930-
0119)--Revision
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ)
is requesting a revision to the National Mental Health Services Survey
(N-MHSS) (OMB No. 0930-0119), which expires on February 28, 2017. The
N-MHSS provides annual national and state-level data on the number and
characteristics of mental health treatment facilities in the United
States and biennial national and state-level data on the number and
characteristics of persons treated in these facilities.
The N-MHSS will provide updated information about facilities for
SAMHSA's online Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator (see:
https://findtreatment.samhsa.gov), which was last updated with
information from the abbreviated N-MHSS (N-MHSS-Locator Survey) in
2015. An abbreviated N-MHSS (N-MHSS-Locator Survey) will be conducted
in 2017 and 2019 to update the information about facilities in the
online Locator. A full-scale N-MHSS will be conducted in 2018 to
collect (1) information about facilities needed for updating the online
Locator, such as the facility name and address, specific services
offered, and special client groups served and (2) additional
information about client counts and the demographics of persons treated
in these facilities. Three small surveys are proposed for adding new
facilities to the online Locator as they become known to SAMHSA. Both
the 2017 N-MHSS-Locator Survey and the addition of new facilities to
the online Locator will use the same N-MHSS-Locator Survey instrument.
This request for a revision seeks to change the content of the
currently approved abbreviated N-MHSS (i.e., N-MHSS-Locator) survey
instrument, and the previously approved 2014 and 2016 full-scale N-MHSS
(OMB No. 0930-0119) to accommodate two related N-MHSS activities:
(1) collection of information from the total N-MHSS universe of
mental health treatment facilities during 2017, 2018, and 2019; and
(2) collection of information on newly identified facilities
throughout the year as they are identified so that new facilities can
quickly be added to the online Locator.
The survey mode for both data collection activities will be web
with telephone follow-up. A paper questionnaire will also be available
to facilities who request one.
The database resulting from the N-MHSS will be used to update
SAMHSA's online Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator and to
produce an electronic version of a national directory of mental health
facilities, for use by the general public, behavioral health
professionals, and treatment service providers. In addition, a data
file derived from the survey will be used to produce a summary report
providing national and state-level outcomes. The summary report and a

The request for OMB approval will include a request to conduct an
abbreviated N-MHSS-Locator survey in 2017 and 2019, and the full-scale
N-MHSS in 2018.
