Project: 2017–2020 National Survey on
Drug Use and Health: Methodological
Field Tests (OMB No. 0930–0290)—
Extension
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.
Methodological tests will continue to
be designed to examine the feasibility,

quality, and efficiency of new
procedures or revisions to existing
survey protocol. Specifically, the tests
will measure the reliability and validity
of certain questionnaire sections and
items through multiple measurements
on a set of respondents; assess new
methods for gaining cooperation and
participation of respondents with the
goal of increasing response and
decreasing potential bias in the survey
estimates; and assess the impact of new
sampling techniques and technologies
on respondent behavior and reporting.
Research will involve focus groups,
cognitive laboratory testing, customer
satisfaction surveys, and field tests.
These methodological tests will
continue to examine ways to increase
data quality, lower operating costs, and
gain a better understanding of sources
and effects of nonsampling error on
NSDUH estimates. Particular attention
will be given to minimizing the impact
of design changes so survey data
continue to remain comparable over
time. If these tests provide successful
results, current procedures or data
collection instruments may be revised.
The number of respondents to be
included in each field test will vary,
depending on the nature of the subject
being tested and the target population.
However, the total estimated response
burden is 8,225 hours. The exact
number of subjects and burden hours for
each test are unknown at this time, but
will be clearly outlined in each
individual submission. These estimated
burden hours are distributed over three
years as follows:

Project: National Resource Center for
Mental Health Promotion and Youth
Violence Prevention—NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health
Services (CMHS) will conduct an
annual assessment of the performance of
the National Resource Center for Mental
Health Promotion and Youth Violence
Prevention (NRC). The NRC will collect
the information needed to conduct the
annual assessment of NRC training and
technical assistance activities for the
SS/HS and Project LAUNCH programs,
as well as the field-at-large. There are
four instruments included in this
package for approval: (1) Needs
Assessment, (2) Site Visit Assessment,
(3) Annual Performance Assessment,
and Case Study Interview. The NRC is
required contractually to report its
performance to SAMHSA on an annual
basis.
Through a cooperative agreement,
SAMHSA is funding the NRC to support
the training and technical assistance (T/
TA) needs of two SAMHSA grant
programs: The Safe Schools/Healthy
Students Program (SS/HS) and Project
LAUNCH (Linking Actions for Unmet
Needs in Children’s Health). In
addition, the NRC is funded to
