- Description
- The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Behavioral Health and Statistics (CBHSQ) is soliciting proposals on a full and open competitive basis to acquire support services for the operation of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Data Archive (SAMHDA). The purpose of the contract is to support SAMHDA, which provides access to substance abuse and mental health data in order to increase the use of data for understanding and assessing substance abuse and mental health problems, as well as the impact of related treatment systems. SAMHDA is the sole point of disbribution foir the public-use files for the majority of SAMHSA's CBHSQ surveys, namely the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS), the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN), the National Mental Health and Services Survey (N-MHSS) and the Treatment Episode Admissions and Discharge Data Sets (TEDS). In addition, SAMHDA houses other data from SAMHSA and other key substance use and mental health studies, such as the baseline National Comorbidity Survey (NCS-1). The data are currently distributed both as data files and through online table-generating software. Restricted NSDUH data is currently made available through an online restricted data analysis tool. Full access is available to approved researchers through the secure Data Portal for DAWN, NSDUH and other supplemental datasets collected under CIPSEA. All datasets are processed to ensure consistent display and documentation properties. All aspects of the website are maintained to mimic the look and feel of the SAMHSA website. The contractor will be required to: (1) host, maintain and expand a web-based archive of datasets pertaining to substance use and mental health; (2) make these data and documentation available through statistically valid online data analysis tools, downloads and other methods; (3) use statistical expertise to (a) process all incoming datasets, and (b) conduct disclosure analyses on non public-use datasets to determine disclosure risks. Based on the results of the disclosure risk analysis, the contractor will be required to implement statistical disclosure limitation (SDL) measures in the creation of public use files; (4) create dissemination and outreach materials and resources, represent the archive at relevant conferences, and provide technical assistance to users; (5) make restricted-use data available through a restricted-use data analysis system that implements data file-specific disclosure limitation methods to individual datasets as analyses are conducted; (6) make confidential restricted-use data available through a data portal that will house confidential restricted-use data; (7) create an online application system for researchers to apply for access and for easy maintenance and approval by CBHSQ staff; and (8) allow approved researchers access to these data from their off-site locations. The anticipated period of performance for this contract is a base period of 12 months, plus four (4) 12-month option periods, with an anticipated start date on or about May 1, 2015.
