Title of the Collection: Evaluation of
the Assisted Outpatient Treatment Grant
Program for Individuals with Serious
Mental Illness.
Type of Collection: New.
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) at the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) is
requesting Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval for data
collection activities to support the
evaluation of the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services
Administration’s (SAMHSA’s) Assisted
Outpatient Treatment (AOT) Grant
Program for Individuals with Serious
Mental Illness (SM–16–011). Enacted
into law on April 1, 2014, Section 224
of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act
(PAMA) (Pub. L. 113–93) mandated a 4year pilot program of grants to
implement AOT programs nationwide.
Section 224(e) required a program
evaluation to examine the impact of
AOT on cost savings and public health
outcomes, incarceration, homelessness,
and patient and family satisfaction with
program participation.
Focusing specifically on six of the 17
sites, the in-depth implementation and
outcome evaluation of the SAMHSA
AOT Grant Program for Individuals with
Serious Mental Illness is being carried
out by RTI International, in partnership
with Duke University and Policy
Research Associates (PRA). The
completed implementation evaluation,
conducted from November 2016 to
August 2017, gathered information
related to the processes and practices of
AOT across the six in-depth sites. The
information to be collected for the
outcome evaluation will allow ASPE
and partners SAMHSA and NIMH to
assess which elements of AOT programs
influence health and social outcomes for
people under AOT orders, as well as the
use of services, associated costs, and
patient and family satisfaction with the
AOT process.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Section 224(e) of PAMA
requires annual reports to Congress that
include evaluation of: Cost savings and
public health outcomes such as
mortality, suicide, substance abuse,
hospitalization, and use of services;
rates of incarceration by patients; rates
of homelessness among patients; and
patient and family satisfaction with
program participation. The data
collected under this submission will
help ASPE address the evaluation
questions listed above and inform the
required reports to Congress.
The total annual burden hours
estimated for this information collection
request are summarized in the table
