DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
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: Registration for Behavioral Health Web Site and Resources--NEW
SAMHSA is authorized under section 501(d)(16) of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 290aa(d)(16)) to develop and distribute
materials for the prevention, treatment, and recovery from substance
abuse and mental health disorders. To improve the way the public
locates and obtains these materials, SAMHSA is integrating the National
Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information (NCADI) and the National
Mental Health Information Center (NMHIC) into one online resource for
behavioral health information. A part of building this new product Web
site is SAMHSA's development of a voluntary registration process that
will allow customers to create accounts that will save their order
histories and shipping addresses. During the Web site registration
process, SAMHSA will also ask customers for optional demographic
information that will include organization affiliation, SAMHSA grantee
identification information, and reasons for interest in behavioral
health information. SAMHSA will use this information to conduct
customer analyses that will inform materials development, assist in
forecasting inventory needs, and identify ways that SAMHSA can improve
its customer service. SAMHSA will request the same optional
[[Page 46944]]
demographic information and state of residency when customers subscribe
to its email update service, for the purpose of assessing information
needs and better targeting email messages to appropriate audiences.
SAMHSA is employing a Web-based form for information collection to
avoid duplication and unnecessary burden on customers who register both
for an account on the product Web site and for e-mail updates. The Web
technology allows SAMHSA to integrate the email update subscription
process into the Web site account registration process. Customers who
register for an account on the new product Web site will be given the
option of being enrolled automatically to receive SAMHSA email updates.
Any optional questions answered by the customer during the Web site
registration process will automatically be mapped to the profile
generated for the e-mail update system, thereby reducing the collection
of duplicate information.
SAMHSA will collect all customer information submitted for Web site
registration and email update subscriptions electronically via a series
of Web forms on the samhsa.gov domain. Customers can submit the Web
forms at their leisure, or call SAMHSA's toll-free Call Center and an
information specialist will submit the forms on their behalf. The
electronic collection of information will reduce the burden on the
respondent and streamline the data-capturing process. SAMHSA will place
Web site registration information into a Knowledge Management database
and will place email subscription information into a database
maintained by a third-party vendor that serves multiple Federal
agencies and the White House. Customers can change, add, or delete
their information from either system at any time.
The respondents will be behavioral health professionals,
researchers, parents, caregivers, and the general public.
SAMHSA estimates the burden of this information collection as
follows:
