Type of Request: New.
Number of Respondents: 15.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 15.
Average Burden per Response: 1 hour.
Annual Burden Hours: 15 hours.
Needs and Uses: The Deputy
Secretary of Defense recently directed
implementation of Service tailored LMS
plans, which leverage the Defense
Suicide Prevention Office’s (DSPO’s)
LMS suite of evidence-informed tools.
In accordance with guidance, and with
recommendations from the Government
Accountability Office to assess the
efficacy of nonclinical suicide
prevention efforts, DSPO aims to help
the Services conduct a thorough
evaluation of their LMS outreach efforts.
DSPO has contracted with the center
for Naval Analyses (CNA) to assist the
Services in meeting the requirements set
forth in DoD Instruction 6490.16 that all
suicide prevention activities are
developed from a relevant evidencebase and have an evaluation capability
prior to implementation. CNA, in
conjunction with the participating
Services (i.e., Air Force, Army, Navy,
and Special Operations Command,
propose an information collection
covering LMS evaluation activities
specific to the needs of each respective
Service to assess the implementation,
acceptability, and/or effect of their
specific LMS activities and materials.
Depending on the nature of the selected
evaluation activities, study data will be
collected via key informant (KI)
interviews and/or a survey.
This Federal Register Notice covers
the evaluation activity specific to the
Air Force. The intent of the voluntary
Air Force Time-Based Prevention (TBP)
KI Interviews is to help the Air Force
gain a better understanding of the
implementation and utility of the Air
Force’s TBP communications and
messaging, as well as barriers to
implementation.
The Air Force will use the results of
the KI interviews to tailor their TBP
LMS activities, materials, messaging,
training, and outreach efforts to
maximize their effectiveness with their
Servicemembers and communities.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: As required.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
