Proposed Project: Pretesting of Substance Abuse Prevention and 
Treatment and Mental Health Services Communications Messages--(OMB No. 
0930-0196)--Reinstatement

    As the federal agency responsible for developing and disseminating 
authoritative knowledge about substance abuse prevention, addiction 
treatment, and mental health services and for mobilizing consumer 
support and increasing public understanding to overcome the stigma 
attached to addiction and mental illness, SAMHSA is responsible for 
development and dissemination of a wide range of education and 
information materials for both the general public and the professional 
communities. This submission is for generic approval and will provide 
for formative and qualitative evaluation activities to; (1) assess 
audience knowledge, attitudes, behavior and other characteristics for 
the planning and development of messages, communication strategies and 
public information programs; and (2) test these messages, strategies 
and program components in developmental form to assess audience 
comprehension, reactions, and perceptions. Information obtained from 
testing can then be used to improve materials and strategies while 
revisions are still affordable and possible. The annual burden 
associated with these activities is summarized below.
