National Outcome Measures (NOMs)
Overview
The National Outcome Measure (NOMs) are a set of domains and measures that SAMHSA uses to measure whether the agency’s vision is being achieved. In addition, completion of NOMs satisfies SAMHSA’s Federal reporting requirements including reducing burden and redundancy for grantees.
With NOMs, SAMHSA is using data to manage and measure performance. In collaboration with the States and jurisdictions, SAMHSA has defined ten domains in which NOMs are grouped. Associated with the domains are relevant outcomes for people who are striving to attain and sustain recovery; build resilience; and work, learn, live, and participate fully in their communities. The SAMHSA website (www.nationaloutcomemeasures.samhsa.gov) presents a matrix that defines the NOMs domains, outcomes, and specific measures for mental health, prevention, and treatment.
