SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The proposed information collection activities are
part of the second phase of a study that intends to assess the impact
and implementation of LifeSet, a program that provides services and
supports to young adults ages 17 to 21 with previous child welfare
involvement. The program aims to support young adults in their
transition from foster care to independent living in the areas of
education, employment and earnings, housing and economic well-being,
social support, well-being, health and safety, and criminal
involvement. It focuses on helping young adults identify and achieve
their goals while developing the skills necessary for independent
living.
The evaluation is part of a larger project to help ACF build the
evidence base in child welfare through rigorous evaluation of programs,
practices, and policies. The activities and products from this project
will contribute to evidence building in child welfare and help to
determine the effectiveness of a program for youth formerly in foster
care on young adult outcomes.
The implementation study will collect information through video
conferences and site visits to the participating program and child
welfare agency. Data collection activities for the implementation study
began, as previously approved by OMB. Additional protocols are proposed
as part of the implementation study. Proposed information collection
activities include interviews and focus groups with administrators and
staff from the program developer, child welfare agency, and program
providers; online survey of program staff; interviews with youth who
participated in the program; and focus groups with youth who
participated in the program and who received services as usual.
Respondents: Program participants, young adults receiving services
as usual, agency and program administrators and staff, other program
stakeholders.
