Abstract: The 2008 survey differs from earlier surveys by (a) shifting its focus from the mental health providers' organization level to the providers' point-of-service level, (b) introducing more client/patient-oriented questions, (c) including best practices questions, and (d) simplifying the questions to improve response rate. On average, each mental health organization has three service locations. It is this service location, or facility-level, that is the focus of this revised survey.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: Although the 2008 NSMHTF is now at the facility level (13,831 facilities compared with 4,160 organizations), the total hour burden is 632 hours less than the 14,463 hours estimated for the 2004 IMHO. The decrease is due to the reduction in the complexity of questions used in the organization level survey and the use of a single questionnaire with easier questions that require less effort (resources) to answer.
