Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program when the participating

under MIHOPE-Long-Term Follow-Up (MIHOPE-LT).

the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: This request for an extension is to complete the
following data collection activities for MIHOPE-K: (1) A survey with
the child's primary caregiver (who will be the mother if she is
available), (2) direct assessments of child development, (3) surveys
with the child's teacher, (4) a direct assessment of the caregiver, (5)
videotaped interactions between the caregiver and child, (6) a
caregiver website to provide current contact information, (7) state
child welfare records, and (8) school records. In addition to
collecting these data, the MIHOPE-K project will continue to maintain
up-to-date consent forms for the collection of administrative data.
Future information collection requests and related Federal Register
notices will describe future data collection efforts for this project.
Data collected during the kindergarten follow-up study is being
used to estimate the effects of MIECHV-funded programs on the following
seven domains: (1) Maternal health, (2) child health, (3) child
development and school performance, (4) child maltreatment, (5)
parenting, (6) crime or domestic violence, and (7) family economic
self-sufficiency.
Respondents: The respondents in this extension will include 1,391
families who have not yet participated in the kindergarten follow-up
study activities. We have assumed that only 25 percent of respondents
will complete the caregiver website. We will also obtain child welfare
data from 11 MIHOPE states and school records data from state and local
agencies. We have assumed that we will obtain data from 11 states and 5
local education agencies.
