SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The HPOG 2.0 evaluation of non-tribal programs is
assessing the implementation and impacts of HPOG
[[Page 40846]]
in non-tribal HPOG programs and will include a cost-benefit analysis.
Key participant outcomes of interest include (but are not limited to)
educational progress, employment, and earnings.
The HPOG 2.0 Long-Term Follow-Up Study will use survey and
administrative data to estimate longer-term (approximately 5\1/2\ years
after random assignment) program impacts at the local and national
level and to explore characteristics of local programs that are
associated with more favorable outcomes. By extending data collection
to include an LTS, OPRE can address important unanswered questions for
policymakers and practitioners. The HPOG 2.0 LTS specifically will
provide insights into the long-term impacts of HPOG 2.0 for outcomes
that are not captured in administrative records, such as details about
educational experiences, characteristics of employment, self-
employment, and earnings from jobs not covered in administrative data,
receipt of public assistance, physical and mental well-being, and child
outcomes. There are two versions of the HPOG 2.0 LTS, the full version
(Instrument 21) and a shorter version with critical items of interest
only (Instrument 21a). Instrument 21a will be offered to reluctant
participants who would otherwise not complete the survey to help
maximize response rates and reduce item non-response for the most
critical outcomes in the study.
Respondents: HPOG 2.0 impact study participants from the 27 non-
tribal HPOG 2.0 grantees (treatment and control group members) who
enrolled between September 2017 and January 2018.
Annual Burden Estimates: This request is specific to the HPOG 2.0
Long-Term Follow-Up Survey (LTS) (both the full and critical items only
versions). Currently approved materials and associated burden, which we
plan to continue to use can be found at: <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAICList?ref_nbr=201904-0970-006">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAICList?ref_nbr=201904-0970-006</a>.
