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

Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a list of information collection

Proposed Project
State Prevention Needs Assessments: Alcohol and Other Drugs--New--
SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) has awarded
contracts to several States (Cohort III) to collect data to assess the
nature and extent of substance abuse prevention services needs. In
addition, the data collection from these States will be used to pilot
test several instruments and methodologies to determine standard
measures and methodologies to be used by the next cohort of States
(Cohort IV) funded to conduct needs assessment studies.
Data will be collected in school surveys, community-based
prevention resource assessments (CRA), and special population studies.
The information collected in this project will be combined with
existing sources and may use multiple approaches to assess risk and
protective factors for substance use, prevention service needs, and
substance abuse prevalence. These needs assessment studies will permit
cross-State comparisons of predictor variables to assist Federal
program planning, allocating resources, and responding to the
Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA).
The estimated annualized burden for the five-year project is shown
below.
