Proposed Project: Phase I of the National Evaluation of the
Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and
Their Families Program
(OMB No. 0930-0171, Extension, no change)--The Center for Mental
Health Services (CMHS) is seeking OMB approval for a 1-year extension
of this evaluation of integrated child mental health service systems.
The core and comparison studies of the evaluation collect information
on child and family demographics, child mental health status, and
service system development. In the core study, data are collected from
children and families at intake into services, six months later, and
every 12 months thereafter while the children remain in services. In
the comparison study component, information is collected at intake, 6
months, 12 months, 24 months, and annually thereafter. In both studies,
data were collected annually from grantees' administrators and
providers. This request is to extend OMB clearance to allow: (1)
continued data collection in two core study sites for two months, and
(2) completion, by the end of the approval period, of data collection
in the comparison study component sites. The response burden for this
extension is as follows:
