SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: OPRE/ACF/HHS proposes qualitative data collection as
part of the Success Sequence Interviews study. The goal of this project
is to understand complex decisions and circumstances of youth
transitions to adulthood and explore the complexities around achieving
the success sequence milestones of high school graduation, full-time
employment, getting married, and having children. The data collected
from the interviews will help ACF and the broader research field
understand adults' perspectives and experiences related to the
milestones, and will provide ACF's Family and Youth Services Bureau's
Sexual Risk Avoidance Education grant program with greater insight into
the program content and strategies related to the success sequence
milestones and their ordering that could best resonate with youth. To
support these efforts, we seek approval from the Office of Management
and Budget to collect qualitative interview data from adults ages 30-
35, recruiting from online research panels with participants across all
U.S. regions. We propose the following data collection instruments:
(1) Success Sequence Screener: The screener will be administered by
telephone. Information collected through the screener will be used to
screen interview respondents into the study based on respondent
demographics, household income, geographic location, and life
milestones.
(2) Success Sequence Interview Protocol: We will administer an
asynchronous interview with adults ages 30-35. Information collected
through the interview protocol includes respondent life history focused
on education, employment and work experience, family life, and
financial status.
Respondents: A total of 225 interview respondents will be recruited
from existing large national online panels of research participants.
