DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Proposed Data Collection Available for Public Comment
In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on proposed data
collection projects, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a copy
of the data collection plans and instruments, call the SAMHSA Reports
Clearance Officer on (301) 443-0525.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: Alcohol and Drug Services Survey (ADSS) Phases II
and III--New--ADSS Phase II will gather information from a sample of
180 treatment facilities nationwide, including facility-level
information on substance abuse treatment services and client record
abstracts on a sample of 4,050 treatment clients. Phase III will
collect follow up data from the Phase II client sample, including post-
treatment data on drug and alcohol use, criminal behavior, employment
status, and subsequent treatment services. This ADSS client sample,
along with the 1990 DSRS/SROS study cohort of approximately 3,000
clients and an out-of-treatment comparison group of 600 drug users,
will be followed over about three years. Automated collection
techniques are not cost-effective for this study. ADSS is a three-phase
study that will be conducted twice. The total annual burden estimate
for Phases II and III of the first cycle of ADSS is 11,703 hours, as
shown below:
