Section A. Introduction
Section 1942(a) of Title XIX, Part B, Subpart III of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. § 300x52(a)) requires the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, acting through the

Administrator of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), to
determine the extent to which states1 have implemented the State Plan for the preceding fiscal year.
The purpose of the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant (SABG) Annual Report
is to provide information to assist the Secretary in making this determination.
States are required to prepare and submit an annual report that includes expenditure summaries for
(1) the state fiscal year (SFY) immediately preceding the federal fiscal year for which the state is
applying for funds; and (2) the obligation and expenditure period of the Substance Abuse Prevention
and Treatment Block Grant (SABG) Notice of Award (NoA) subject to CSAT compliance review
(Compliance Award), in the format provided in this guidance. The SABG Annual Report will
address the purposes for which the SABG funds were expended, the SABG sub-recipients, and the
authorized activities funded and services purchased with such funds. Particular attention should be
given to the progress made toward accomplishing the goals and performance indicators identified in
the states’ and jurisdictions’ plans.
All States are required to prepare and submit their respective SABG Annual Reports utilizing
SAMHSA’s Web Block Grant Application System (BGAS). Annual reports must be received by
SAMHSA not later than December 1 in order for a state or jurisdiction to receive its fiscal year
SABG NoA. If a receipt date falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the receipt date for a report will
be the next business day. The following schedule provides specific due dates for the SABG Annual
Reports, MHBG Implementation Reports and the Annual Synar Reports:

SABG Table 5a - Primary Prevention Expenditures Checklist
The State or jurisdiction must complete either SABG Table 5a and/or 5b. There are six primary prevention strategies typically funded by principal
agencies administering the SABG. Expenditures within each of the six strategies or Institute of Medicine Model (IOM) should be directly associated
with the cost of completing the activity or task. For example, information dissemination may include the cost of developing pamphlets, the time of
participating staff and/or the cost of public service announcements, etc. If a state or jurisdiction employs strategies not covered by these six
categories, please report them under “Other,” each in a separate row.
Section 1926 – Tobacco: Costs associated with the Synar Program Pursuant to the January 19, 1996 federal regulation “Tobacco Regulation for
Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grants, Final Rule” (45 CFR § 96.130), a state may not use the SABG to fund the enforcement of
its statute, except that it may expend funds from its primary prevention set aside of its Block Grant allotment under 45 CFR § 96.124(b)(1) for
carrying out the administrative aspects of the requirements, such as the development of the sample design and the conducting of the inspections.
States should include any non-SABG funds* that were allotted for Synar activities in the appropriate columns under 7 below.

Plan Table #6
Proposed Categories for Expenditures for System Development/Non-Direct-Service Activities
Expenditures in the following categories of activities may involve the time of State or sub-State personnel, or may be funded through
contracts, grants, or agreements with other entities. Expenditures may come from the administrative funds and/or program funds (but may not
include the HIV set-aside funds). Please utilize the following categories to describe the types of expenditures your state supports with BG
funds, and if the preponderance of the activity fits within a category.
We understand that a particular activity may cross categories, but try to identify the primary purpose or goal of the activity. For
example, a state may utilize BG funds to train personnel to conduct fidelity assessments of evidence-based practices. While this could
fall under either training/education and/or quality assurance/improvement – the primary purpose is to assure the implementation of
EBPs, so that expenditure would most likely be captured under quality assurance/improvement.
Information systems – This includes collecting and analyzing treatment data as well as prevention data under the SABG in order to monitor
performance and outcomes. Costs for electronic health records and other health information technology also fall under this category.
Infrastructure Support – This includes activities that provide the infrastructure to support services but for which there are no individual
services delivered. Examples include the development and maintenance of a crisis-response capacity, including hotlines, mobile crisis teams,
web-based check-in groups (for medication, treatment, re-entry follow-up), drop-in centers, and respite services.
Partnerships, community outreach, and needs assessment – This includes state, regional, and local personnel salaries prorated for time and
materials to support planning meetings, information collection, analysis, and travel. It also includes the support for partnerships across state
and local agencies, and tribal governments. Community/network development activities, such as marketing, communication, and public
education, and including the planning and coordination of services, fall into this category, as do needs-assessment projects to identify the
scope and magnitude of the problem, resources available, gaps in services, and strategies to close those gaps.
Planning Council Activities – This includes those supports for the performance of a Mental Health Planning Council under the MHBG, a
combined Behavioral Health Planning Council, or (OPTIONAL) Advisory Council for the SABG.
Quality assurance and improvement – This includes activities to improve the overall quality of services, including those activities to assure
conformity to acceptable professional standards, adaptation and review of implementation of evidence-based practices, identification of areas
of technical assistance related to quality outcomes, including feedback. Administrative agency contracts to monitor service-provider quality
fall into this category, as do independent peer-review activities.
Research and evaluation – This includes performance measurement, evaluation, and research, such as services research and demonstration
projects to test feasibility and effectiveness of a new approach as well as the dissemination of such information.

Training and education– This includes skill development and continuing education for personnel employed in local programs as well as
partnering agencies, as long as the training relates to either substance use disorder service delivery (prevention, treatment and recovery) for
SABG and services to adults with SMI or children with SED for MHBG. Typical costs include course fees, tuition, and expense
reimbursements to employees, trainer(s) and support staff salaries, and certification expenditures.

Tables 21-36: Prevention Performance Measures
Tables 21 – 30 Prevention Performance Measures
Introduction
The National Outcome Measures (NOMs) are a set of domains and measures that the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) uses to accomplish its vision and
to meet all of its federal reporting requirements, thus reducing burden and redundancy for
grantees.
The NOMs Data Collection and Reporting tables are to be completed as part of the state's annual
SABG application. For Tables 21-25 and 27-30, the compliance year is calendar year (CY) 2017
(note that pre-populated NOMs from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH)
reflect pooled data from CYs 2016-2017. For substance abuse prevention NOMs Table 26, the
compliance year is School Year 2017.
For purposes of this section, unless otherwise noted, the term "state" refers to states, territories,
and the one Native American tribe that receive SABG funding.
Tables 21 through 30 Information
A. Pre-populated Data
CSAP and the states have agreed that the state-level reporting requirement for the NOMs listed
in Tables 21-30 will be fulfilled through the use of extant data from sources including the
National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), the Fatality Analysis Reporting System
(FARS) of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Uniform Crime Report
(UCR) of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES) of the U.S. Department of Education. These pre-populated state-level NOMs will meet
most of the state-level NOMs reporting requirements for the prevention portion of the SABG
funding. These data will be pre-populated into the data tables by CSAP.
NOMs Domain - Reduced Morbidity Abstinence from Drug Use/Alcohol Use
• Table 21: 30-Day Use

In this block grant application, pre-populated data are automatically provided to fulfill the
majority of the reporting requirements.
Territories and Native American tribes for which there are no NSDUH, FARS, UCR, and/or
NCES data will not be required to report on those measures on those measures, but will be
encouraged to provide substitute data in Column D.

B. Supplemental Data
States may also wish to provide additional data related to the NOMs. The data can be included in
the block grant appendix. When describing the supplemental data, states should provide any
relevant Web addresses (URLs) that provide links to specific state data sources.

NSDUH does not ask this question of all sampled parents. It is a validation question posed to parents of 12- to 17-year-old survey
respondents. Therefore, the responses are not representative of the population of parents in a State. The sample sizes are often too small
for valid reporting.

The following chart is for collecting information on the reporting periods for the data entered in
Tables 31-35. Please note that the correct reporting period for Tables 31-34 is the Calendar
Year (CY) which coincides with the reporting period for the pre-populated prevention
NOMs in Tables 21-30. We understand that some states have reported on the state fiscal
year (SFY) or federal fiscal year (FFY) for these tables in past SABG Reports. If your state
is unable to report on the calendar year, please indicate in this footnote why you are unable
to report on the calendar year and the steps the state intends to take to make calendar year
reporting possible in future years. Note that the correct reporting period for Table 35 is the
SABG compliance period that coincides with the reporting period for Tables 4, 5a, 5b, 6
and 7.
Rows 1 through 5 each correspond to a single form in the current year's application among the
following five tables: 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35.

Evidence-Based Programs and Strategies by Type of Intervention

Definition of Evidence-Based Programs and Strategies: The guidance document for the
Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant, Identifying and Selection Evidence-based
Interventions, provides the following definition for evidence-based programs:
• Inclusion in a Federal List or Registry of evidence-based interventions
•

Being Reported (with positive effects) in a peer-reviewed journal

•

Documentation of effectiveness based on the following guidelines:
o

Guideline 1: The intervention is based on a theory of change that is documented
in a clear logic or conceptual model; and

o

Guideline 2: The intervention is similar in content and structure to interventions
that appear in registries and/or the peer-reviewed literature; and

o

Guideline 3: The intervention is supported by documentation that it has been
effectively implemented in the past, and multiple times, in a manner attentive to
Identifying and Selecting Evidence-Based Interventions scientific standards of
evidence and with results that show a consistent pattern of credible and positive
effects; and

o

Guideline 4: The intervention is reviewed and deemed appropriate by a panel of
informed prevention experts that includes: well-qualified prevention researchers
who are experienced in evaluating prevention interventions similar to those under
review; local prevention practitioners; and key community leaders as appropriate,
e.g., officials from law enforcement and education sectors or elders within
indigenous cultures.
