Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 24138-24139 [2017-10734]

Download as PDF 24138 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 100 / Thursday, May 25, 2017 / Notices medication assisted treatment according to parental need.’’ Commenters reaffirmed the need for research into pain management during pregnancy for women either with or without OUD. One asked that research into pain management during labor and delivery and postpartum for women with OUD be conducted. A recommendation in the research section of the treatment strategy (Table 12 of the final strategy) was revised to reflect these comments. It now reads: ‘‘Research effective non-pharmacologic and non-opioid pharmacotherapies for pain management during pregnancy, labor and delivery, post-partum care and breastfeeding for women with chronic pain or opioid use disorder.’’ Another commenter recommended the scope of the recommendation ‘‘Determine the safety and effectiveness of naltrexone use during pregnancy and breastfeeding’’ be expanded to include naloxone in both the strategies for prevention and treatment. Language was added to this recommendation in the treatment strategy (Table 12 of the final strategy) but not the prevention strategy. It was not included in the prevention section because naloxone does not have a role in preventing or reducing prenatal substance exposure. The recommendation now reads: ‘‘Determine the safety and effectiveness of naltrexone and naloxone when combined with buprenorphine use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.’’ Many commenters sought to reinforce specific elements of the strategy, refine broad research recommendations with more specific research questions, or inform how the recommendations might best be carried out. For example, a group of commenters emphasized ‘‘the need for additional research into the impact on the fetus of drugs taken during pregnancy . . . especially when exposure is concurrent with opioids.’’ There was a request for greater research on whether a subgroup of women at sufficiently low risk of relapse could be identified and detoxified safely and reliably and for more research on the impact of detoxification on the fetus. There was also a request for greater research on the most effective pharmacotherapy for infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) and or NOWS. These comments reinforced or elaborated upon existing recommendations in the strategy and therefore the strategy was not edited to reflect them. Services Several commenters raised concerns about criminal penalties experienced by pregnant and parenting women with VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:04 May 24, 2017 Jkt 241001 substance use disorder and the uncertain benefit and unknown consequences of removing children from their parents due to prenatal substance exposure. This comment best summarizes the range of strategies suggested by the various comments: The current opioid epidemic is resulting in numerous referrals to and removals by the child welfare system. . . . But, since the primary purpose of the child welfare system is to investigate reports of abuse and neglect, child welfare workers often lack the appropriate training and resources to effectively address substance use disorders. . . . more research and resources are needed to help the child welfare system facilitate linkages to treatment and promote recovery for mothers with addiction. Another commenter pointed out that there is a ‘‘non-evidence based assumption that removing children from women who use substances during pregnancy protects the child’’ and several urged research into the risks and benefits of child removal due to prenatal substance exposure be added to the strategy. Two recommendations were added to the services strategy (Table 13 of the final strategy). First, ‘‘Collect data on the welfare of substance exposed children who are removed from their families versus those remaining with a mother receiving supportive interventions’’ was added to data collection. Second, ‘‘Promote training and resources for child welfare workers to effectively address SUD and prenatal substance exposure, facilitate linkages to treatment, and promote recovery for mothers with SUD’’ was added to the education section. General Comments A group of commenters noted that the strategy would be improved by greater synthesis of the recommendations and the definition of clear goals with associated metrics. There are several reasons why goals and metrics are not specified. First, the generally limited and inconsistent data collection described in the report currently precludes establishment of a national baseline upon which metrics can be established. Second, the establishment of goals and metrics is further complicated by the fact that for pregnant women with OUD, the most effective intervention to promote optimal outcomes for both mother and child is the provision of medication assisted treatment with an opioid agonist, which itself carries a risk of NOWS. As a result, reduction in the number of cases of NOWS is not a meaningful goal even if NOWS, as distinct from NAS, could be measured accurately. As a result, no PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 changes were made to the strategy based on these comments.

Project: Participant Feedback on Training Under the Cooperative 
Agreement for Mental Health Care Provider Education in HIV/AIDS Program 
(OMB No. 0930-0195)--Extension

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 
(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) intends to continue 
to conduct a multi-site assessment for the Mental Health Care Provider 
Education in HIV/AIDS Program. There are no changes to the forms or the 
burden hours.
    The education programs are funded under a cooperative agreement 
that are designed to disseminate knowledge of the psychological and 
neuropsychiatric sequelae of HIV/AIDS to both traditional (e.g., 
psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, primary care physicians, medical 
students, and social workers) and non-traditional (e.g., clergy, and 
alternative health care workers) first-line providers of mental health 
services, in particular to providers in minority communities.
    The multi-site assessment is designed to assess the effectiveness 
of particular training curricula, document the integrity of training 
delivery formats, and assess the effectiveness of the various training 
delivery formats. Analyses will assist CMHS in

documenting the numbers and types of traditional and non-traditional 
mental health providers accessing training; the content, nature and 
types of training participants receive; and the extent to which 
trainees experience knowledge, skill and attitude gains/changes as a 
result of training attendance. The multi-site data collection design 
uses a two-tiered data collection and analytic strategy to collect 
information on (1) the organization and delivery of training, and (2) 
the impact of training on participants' knowledge, skills and 
abilities.
