This pilot study
is approved for use through 7/92 under the condition that no later
than 12/91 ADAMHA staff briefs OMB regarding its major research
objectives in substance abuse prevention and treatment and how
existing and future efforts will support such objectives. OMB is
concerned that different ADAMHA components are pursuing individual
projects that alone do not enable the Federal government to
evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and prevention programs and
State administration. For example, this particular effort, like
existing projects, is exploratory and its results will be
inconclusive. The next submission for OMB approval must demonstrate
that this effort 1) achieves different objectives and/or is
designed to test different hypotheses than currently approved
efforts; 2) will produce results that can be meaningfully linked
with other sources; and 3) is crucial to meeting ADAMHA's research
objectives.
