Now Available: SPARS Newsletter for July 2024

SPARS News, Issue 45, includes information about how SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) and Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) grantees may avoid data loss at data entry by using the new SPARS “incremental save” feature. This feature enables grantees to pause data entry mid-record and resume where they left off at a later time. 

Issue 45 also includes a video describing plans for enhancing user management in SPARS which will occur in Fall 2024. User management enhancements will offer a speedier onboarding process for users, along with a streamlined sign-on and improved self-service. 

Finally, Issue 45 includes links to recently updated online reports and accompanying report guides for CMHS and CSAT. These online reports allow users to understand their grant and program data through sophisticated visualizations and detailed tabular summaries.
