The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is proposing a new tool called the SAMHSA Unified Client-Level Performance Reporting Tool (SUPRT) to streamline and improve how they collect data on mental health and substance use programs.

The SUPRT will help SAMHSA align its data collection with other federal agencies and improve its ability to monitor and evaluate the performance of its grant programs, contributing to broader public health goals. Public comments on this proposal can be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget by January 6, 2025.
