GPRA
Also written as: GPRA — Government Performance and Results Act
Government Performance and Results Act data collection required for federal behavioral health grant programs.
Full Definition
Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) data collection requirements apply to federally funded behavioral health programs and mandate systematic tracking of client outcomes and program performance. GPRA data typically includes demographic information, substance use patterns, mental health status, criminal justice involvement, employment, education, and housing stability. Data collection occurs at baseline (intake), during treatment, and at 6-month follow-up intervals. GPRA reporting enables federal agencies to assess program effectiveness, justify continued funding, and identify areas for improvement across different treatment modalities and target populations.
Usage
Usage note: Applies specifically to federal grant programs; state-funded programs may have different reporting requirements.
