Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request
a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, e-mail
[email protected] or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office at (301)

The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:
Proposed Project Title: Evaluation of the National Healthy Start
Program--[NEW]
Background: The National Healthy Start Program, funded through the
Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) Maternal and
Child Health Bureau (MCHB), was developed in 1991 with the goal of
reducing infant mortality disparities in high-risk populations through
community-based interventions. The program originally began as a five-
year demonstration project within 15 communities that had infant
mortality rates 1.5 to 2.5 times above the national average.
The National Healthy Start Program has since expanded in size and
mission to include 102 grantees across the nation, emphasizing a
community-based, culturally competent approach to the delivery of care
for women and their babies. MCHB seeks to conduct a cross-site
evaluation of all Healthy Start grantees to document the
accomplishments made by the National Healthy Start Program.
Purpose: The purpose of the survey is to collect consistent data on
the services and activities of all 102 Healthy Start grantees. The data
collected though this survey will be used to:
Evaluate the grantees' performance and progress toward
achieving short-term and long-term goals;
Evaluate the relationship of performance and progress to
implementation features of Healthy Start Program components;
Assist MCHB in determining on a national level where
technical assistance may be needed to improve program performance, set
future priorities for program activities, and contribute to the overall
strategic planning activities of MCHB; and
Provide foundation data for future measurement of the
initiative's long-term impact.
Respondents: The project directors of Healthy Start grants funded
by HRSA will be the respondents for this data collection activity. The
estimated response burden is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to
the desk officer for HRSA, either by email to [email protected] or by fax to 202-395-6974. Please direct all
correspondence to the ``attention of the desk officer for HRSA.''
