Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Cross-Site Evaluation of the Children's Bureau Grantee.
Cluster: Supporting Evidence-Based Home Visiting Programs to
Prevent Child Maltreatment (EBHV).
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description
The Administration for Children and Families (ACE), U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing this cross-site
evaluation data collection activity to identify successful strategies
for adopting, implementing, and sustaining high-quality home visitation
programs to prevent child maltreatment. An evaluation study will
address four domains: (1) Systems change to develop infrastructure, (2)
fidelity to evidence-based models, (3) costs of home visiting programs,
and (4) family and child outcomes (via a review of grantee analysis
reports). A process study will focus on the broader grant initiative to
understand how programs plan and develop the infrastructure needed to
support home visitation services and how they ensure service quality.
Information will be collected through biennial site visits, web
based data entry, a data quality progress table, a relationship
questionnaire completed by participants and home visitors, and a
grantee-partner network survey. In particular, site visits will include
interviews with key grantee staff and
[[Page 20851]]
stakeholders involved in the execution of the grant and in the efforts
to make system changes. Grantees will complete systems web-based data
entry on goals and operations every six months while agencies
implementing home visiting programs associated with the grantee will
utilize the fidelity/cost Web-based data entry to provide EBHV program,
provider, and participant characteristic along with yearly data on
costs of home visiting programs.
Respondents
EBHV grantee and key staff (evaluators, home visitors and
supervisors), partners, implementing agencies, home visiting
participants, and home visitors.
