OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Family and Youth Services Bureau (HHS/ACF/ACYF/
FYSB) and the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (HHS/ACF/
OPRE) in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) propose a
data collection activity as part of the Personal Responsibility
Education Program (PREP) Multi Component Evaluation.
In addition to other activities, the PREP Evaluation will document
the design of the PREP State grant programs via data gathered from
States and selected sub-awardees funded by PREP. The findings will be
of interest to the general public, federal and state policy-makers,
PREP sub-awardees, community-based organizations, and other
organizations interested in teen pregnancy prevention.
The proposed activity involves the collection of information
through telephone conversations or in-person interviews held with
administrators and program staff at the State and sub awardee level.
The data collection instrument will focus on information related to
program context, administration, and design. This includes, but is not
limited to: Program goals and strategy/approach, program setting,
population characteristics, state-level requirements and processes,
program monitoring, and training and technical assistance.
Respondents: State Level Coordinators; Program Directors; Program
Staff; General Staff; Schools and Organizations; and Community-Based
Organizations.
