SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: OPRE/ACF/HHS proposes to conduct the NWS, a sub-study
under the NDS of the SRAENE, to learn about Sexual Risk Avoidance
Education (SRAE) program implementation experiences and outcomes of the
SRAE grant program. The NWS builds on the Early Implementation Study,
the first sub-study of the NDS, which was designed to tell the story
about SRAE grant program plans (OMB Control #0970-0530). The NWS, which
responds to Congress's reauthorization in February 2018 of title V,
section 510 of the Social Security Act (Pub. L. 115-123), extended by
the CARES ACT of 2020 (Pub. L. 116-136), will use a mixed-methods
approach of surveys and focus groups to tell the story of the SRAE
grant program, collecting detailed information on grantee program
implementation experiences from grant recipients, SRAE program
providers and facilitators, and youth program recipients. The NWS will
also make use of extant data from grant-recipient performance measures
on program outputs and outcomes. Combined with data on program
implementation, the NWS will examine associations between
implementation, outputs, and outcomes. The survey and focus group data
are key to fully understanding program implementation experiences from
all levels that bring the SRAE programs to youth-from grant
administrators to program supervisors to the facilitators who interact
directly with the youth themselves.
The study is being undertaken by ACF and its contractor
Mathematica. The study research questions driving the need for data
collection are as follows:
1. What are grant recipients' and providers' experiences with
delivering SRAE curricular content? What are youth's experiences with
receiving the SRAE curricular content?
2. How did grant recipients and providers interpret, understand,
and address the A to F topics in the SRAE legislation?
3. Are some features of implementation more strongly associated
with youth outcomes than others?
4. What provider characteristics are associated with a greater
number of youth served and with youth outcomes?
To support these efforts, ACF proposes the following data
collection activities: (1) a web-based survey of all grant recipient
Directors who are not also providers, (2) a web-based survey of all
SRAE program providers, (3) a web-based survey of all SRAE program
facilitators, and (4) in-person (or virtual if necessary) focus groups
with youth recipients of SRAE programming across five geographic
regions of the United States.
Respondents: Respondents to the surveys will be SRAE program grant
Directors, SRAE program providers, and SRAE program facilitators. Focus
group participants will be youth recipients of SRAE programming. The
focus group participants will be recruited from middle and high school
across five U.S. Geographic regions: West, Midwest, Southwest,
Southeast, and Northeast.
