DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Proposed Information Collection Activity; Replication of Recovery
and Reunification Interventions for Families-Impact Study (New
Collection)
AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation, Administration
for Children and Families, Department of Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
proposing a data collection activity as part of the Replication of
Recovery and Reunification Interventions for Families-Impact Study (R3-
Impact). The R3-Impact Study aims to satisfy the legislative
requirements called for by the 2018 SUPPORT for Patients and
Communities Act by replicating and testing the efficacy of two recovery
coaching interventions for families engaged in the child welfare system
due to parental substance use disorders.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of publication. In compliance with
the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is
soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information
collection described above.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of
information and submit comments by emailing
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#de918e8c9bb7b0b8b1bdb1b2b2bbbdaab7b1b09ebfbdb8f0b6b6adf0b9b1a8"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e8a7b8baad81868e878b8784848d8b9c818786a8898b8ec680809bc68f879e">[email protected]</span></a>. Identify all requests by the title of
the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The R3-Impact study will use experimental and quasi-
experimental designs to test the effectiveness of the recovery coaching
interventions on key child welfare and parent well-being outcomes. The
implementation study will document the fidelity of program
implementation, describe the services participants receive under each
approach, and provide operational lessons gathered directly from
practitioners. These goals represent ACF's interest in understanding
whether recovery coaching interventions yield successful parental
recovery and child welfare outcomes, and if so, whether the potential
exists to scale the interventions for the benefit of more affected
families. The proposed information collection activity consists of (1)
Baseline data collection: collection of baseline demographic and parent
well-being data from study participants; (2) Contact form: short form
sent to study participants quarterly for one year after study
enrollment to keep contact information current and generally maintain
the participant's connection to the study; (3) Validation interviews:
short interviews with a subset of study participants to monitor the
quality of data collection interviews and to validate that the
interviewer spoke with the participant; (4) Implementation study
interviews: using topic guides, collect information from program
supervisors and frontline staff, community providers, child welfare
staff, and parents enrolled in the programs to assess the fidelity of
implementation, document program services, and gather operational
lessons; and (5) Parent Interview Information Form: demographic
information to support analysis of parent perspectives by personal
characteristics and history. Future information collection requests
will be submitted to collect follow-up data.
Respondents: Parents enrolled in the R3-Impact Study, and program
and agency staff involved in implementing the R3 interventions.
