Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant Application Format--FY 2000-2002 (OMB No. 0930-0080, Revision)--The Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300x 21-35 & 51-64) authorizes block grants to States for the purpose of providing substance abuse prevention and treatment services. Under the provisions of the law, States may receive allotments only after an application is submitted and approved by the Secretary, DHHS. For the FY 2000 Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block Grant cycle, SAMHSA will provide States with modified application forms and instructions. These changes affect several areas of the application and add new sections to accommodate voluntary State reporting of treatment and prevention outcome measures. The portion of the application that asks for information related to section 1926 (sales of tobacco to minors) combines questions related to enforcement of laws related to youth access to tobacco and provides clarifying information and additional instructions related to other existing required information. Additionally, with respect to the treatment portion of the SAPT block grant, the revised application will: replace information requested for Intravenous Drug Users that has not been required since 1995 with reporting of expenditures for HIV Early Intervention Services required of designated States; provide an appropriate format for reporting of funds authorized under Pub. L. 104-121, the Supplementary Security Income special authorization for fiscal years 1997 and 1998; and, add additional instructions and questions related to the States' use of data generated by the State Needs Assessment Program in the application. A new Section IV is being added to accommodate voluntary reporting of prevention and treatment performance and outcome measures. Treatment information to be reported includes: an unduplicated count of primary persons (excludes family members or other persons collaterally involved in the client's treatment) who received services (excluding those who received detoxification, outreach, early intervention or assessment/ Central Intake services but who did not enter treatment) from treatment programs that received some or all of their funding from the SAPT Block Grant; and changes in client Alcohol and Drug use, Illegal Activity, Employment Status and Homelessness. Prevention information to be reported for prevention programs funded through the SAPT BG includes: use of substances in the past 30 days; age of first substance use; perceived risk/harm of substance use; attitudes about substance use; and, intention/expectation to use substances. States are asked to report this voluntary information for the most recent State Fiscal Year for which the data are available at the time the application is submitted.
