Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 23 / Friday, February 2, 2018 / Notices
The overarching purpose of the
proposed Evaluation of Imminent Risk
data collection is to evaluate hotline
counselors’ management of imminent
risk callers and third party callers
concerned about persons at imminent
risk, assess counselor adherence to the
Lifeline Policies and Guidelines for
Helping Callers at Imminent Risk of
Suicide, and identify the types of
interventions implemented with
imminent risk callers. Specifically, the
Evaluation of Imminent Risk will collect
data, using the Imminent Risk FormRevised, to inform the network’s
knowledge of the extent to which
counselors are aware of and being
guided by Lifeline’s imminent risk
guidelines; counselors’ definitions of
imminent risk; the rates of active rescue
of imminent risk callers; the types of
rescue and non-rescue interventions
used; barriers to intervention; and the
circumstances in which active rescue is
initiated, including the caller’s
agreement to receive the intervention.
To capture differences across centers,
the form also collects information on
counselors’ employment status and
hours worked/volunteered, level of
education, license status, training status,
source of safety planning protocols, and
responsibility for follow up.
Clearance is being requested for one
activity to assess the knowledge,
actions, and practices of counselors to
aid callers who are determined to be at
imminent risk for suicide and who may
require active rescue. This evaluation
will allow researchers to examine and
understand the actions taken by
counselors to aid imminent risk callers,
the need for active rescue, the types of
interventions used, and, ultimately,
improve the delivery of crisis hotline
services to imminent risk callers. A total
of seven centers will participate in this
evaluation. Thus, SAMHSA is
requesting OMB review and approval of
the Imminent Risk Form-Revised.
Crisis counselors at seven
participating centers will record
information discussed with imminent
risk callers on the Imminent Risk FormRevised, which does not require direct
data collection from callers. As with
previously approved evaluations, callers
will maintain anonymity. Participating
counselors will be asked to complete the
form for 100% of their imminent risk
calls. At centers with high call volumes,
data collection may be limited to
designated shifts. This form requests
information in 15 content areas, each
with multiple sub-items and response
options. Response options include
open-ended, yes/no, Likert-type ratings,
and multiple choice/check all that
apply. The form also requests
demographic information on the caller,
the identification of the center and
counselor submitting the form, and the
date of the call. Specifically, the form is
divided into the following sections: (1)
Counselor information, (2) center
information, (3) call characteristics (e.g.,
line called, language spoken,
participation of third party), (4) suicidal
desire, (5) suicidal intent, (6) suicidal
capability, (7) buffers to suicide, (8)
interventions agreed to by caller or
implemented by counselor without
caller’s consent, (9) whether imminent
risk was reduced enough such that
active rescue was not needed, (10)
interventions for third party callers
calling about a person at imminent risk,
(11) whether supervisory consultation
occurred during or after the call, (12)
barriers to getting needed help to the
person at imminent risk, (13) steps
taken to confirm whether emergency
contact was made with person at risk,
(14) outcome of attempts to rescue
person at risk, and (15) outcome of
attempts to follow-up on the case. The
form also includes an Additional
Counselor Training section that
counselors complete only when
applicable. This section includes one
new question specifically related to the
use of the Lifeline Simulation Training
System. The form will take
approximately 15 minutes to complete
and will be completed by the counselor
after the call. It is expected that a total
of 440 forms will be completed by 116
counselors over the two-year data
collection period.
The estimated response burden to
collect this information is annualized
over the requested two-year clearance
period and is presented below:
