Abstract: The 2014-16 N-MHSS differs from the previous version of the survey in the following ways: (a) to facilitate completing the survey online, definitions of terms and other survey information will be offered at the survey website; (b) the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the survey, previously outlined in a flyer accompanying the survey, have now been incorporated into the questionnaire as screening questions; and (c) the questionnaire has been reorganized for greater simplicity and shortened by eliminating several questions identified as no longer relevant.

Short Statement: Currently, the total annual burden hours for the abbreviated 2012 N-MHSS-Locator Survey is 6,930 hours based on an estimated response time of 25 minutes for an estimated 16,500 facility respondents. SAMHSA/CBHSQ is now requesting a total annual burden of 11,594 hours for the N-MHSS. The increase of 4,664 hours is due to a program change. The number of mental health facilities is derived from an expanded search of departments/offices within each state with responsibility for the funding or licensing of mental health treatment facilities; of national and regional accreditation entities; and other national provider organizations and associations. This number is based on an estimated response time of 45 minutes for an estimated 17,000 facility respondents in the full-scale survey in 2014 and 2016, an estimated response time of 25 minutes for an estimated 17,000 facility respondents in the Locator Survey in 2015, and an estimated response time of 25 minutes for an estimated 1,700 facility respondents in the Between-Survey Update in 2014, 2015, and 2016. The increase is also due to the N-MHSS Between-Survey Update activity which identifies and collects data from new facilities on a rolling basis throughout the year.
