Data Collection Overview
This website contains information and resources related to the SOS program evaluation and its federal reporting requirements under the Substance Use Administration and Mental Health Services (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). All SOS award recipients must adhere to the data collection and reporting requirements set forth by Ohio Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) and SAMHSA.
SOS Quarterly Reporting
Quarterly reporting is required for all Ohio SOS grantees. Each organization directly funded by DBH is required to complete both the Performance Progress Report (PPR) and SOR/TOR reports. See the SOS Quarterly Reporting page for more details.
SUPRT Data Collection
The new SAMHSA Unified Performance Reporting Tools (SUPRT) has replaced the GPRA data collection tool as of October 1, 2025. Copies of the SUPRT are available on the Ohio SOS Evaluation Resources webpage. The SUPRT-A (Administrative) and SUPRT-C (Client) have replaced the GPRA tool for all client-level data collection and should now be used for all active and new SOS 4.0 clients. This overview comparison resource includes details on changes between the GPRA and SUPRT tools.
- SUPRT-A is completed by agency staff using information from client records, rather than interviews with the client. SUPRT-A is mandatory for all clients. See the corresponding SUPRT-A QxQ Guide from SAMHSA for support with data collection.
- SUPRT-C is self-administered by clients, caregivers, or proxies. Client participation in SUPRT-C is voluntary. See the corresponding SUPRT-C QxQ Guide from SAMHSA for support with implementation.
Complete the SUPRT-A and SUPRT-C forms on paper for online data entry when the new SOS iPortal launches. Note: All Ohio SOS SUPRT data will be submitted via iPortal, once launched. DBH gathers iPortal submissions and submits all reported data to SAMHSA via SPARS for Ohio awardees.
SUPRT-A/C Data Collection Requirements
The SUPRT assessment schedule has been expanded from the GPRA and includes completion windows for each assessment time point:
- Baseline Assessment: completed within 30 days of intake
- 6-month Reassessment: due 180 days from baseline assessment and completed +/-30 days from due date
- Annual Assessment: due every 12-month anniversary of the baseline assessment and completed +/-30 days from due date
- Closeout Assessment: due w/in 30 days of end of episode of care
Note: the reassessment and annual assessments are required for each client who has received a baseline assessment and has not received a closeout assessment.
