Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information 
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these 
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.

Project: Targeted Capacity Expansion Program for Substance Abuse 
Treatment and HIV/AIDS Services (TCE-HIV)--NEW

    This data collection is to study the risk and protective factors 
related to substance use and HIV. The primary purpose of the Project is 
to conceptualize, plan, and implement a multi-site valuation to 
investigate the process, outcome, and effect of substance abuse 
treatment and HIV/AIDS services provided by 48 SAMHSA grantees. The 
grantees' focus is on enhancing and expanding substance abuse treatment 
and/or outreach and pretreatment services in conjunction with HIV/AIDS 
services in African American, Hispanic/Latino, and other racial and 
ethnic minority communities. A multi-stage approach has been used to 
develop the appropriate theoretical framework, conceptual model, 
evaluation design and protocols, and data collection instrumentation. 
Process and outcome measures have been developed to fully capture 
community and contextual conditions, the scope of the TCE-HIV Grantee 
program implementation and activities, and client outcomes. A mixed-
method approach (survey, semi-structured interviews, focus groups) will 
be used, for example, to examine collaborative community linkages 
established between grantees and other service providers (e.g., primary 
health care, medical services for persons living with HIV/AIDS, 
substance abuse recovery support services), determine which program 
models and what type and amount of client exposure to services 
contribute to significant changes in substance abuse and HIV/AIDS risk 
behaviors of the targeted populations, and determine the impact of the 
TCE-HIV services on providers, clients, and communities.
    The process data collection for the project will be conducted bi-
annually (i.e., every other year during the 4-year period) and the 
client outcome data collection is ongoing throughout the project and 
will be collected at baseline/intake, discharge and 6 months post 
baseline/intake for all treatment clients. The respondents are clinic-
based social workers and counselors (e.g., social workers, licensed 
alcohol and drug counselors, licensed clinical professional counselors, 
licensed clinical social workers), clinic-based administrators and 
clinic-based clients.
