Information Collection Request Title: Home Visiting Assessment of
Implementation Quality Study: Exploring Family Voice and Leadership in
Home Visiting, OMB No. 0915-xxxx--[NEW]
Abstract: The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting
(MIECHV) Program, authorized by Social Security Act, title V, section
511 (42 U.S.C. 711) and administered by HRSA in partnership with the
Administration for Children and Families, supports voluntary, evidence-
based home visiting services during pregnancy and for parents with
young children up to kindergarten entry. States, tribal entities, and
certain nonprofit organizations are eligible to receive funding from
the MIECHV Program and have the flexibility to tailor the program to
serve the specific needs of their communities. Funding recipients may
subaward grant funds to local implementing agencies (LIAs) to provide
home visiting services to eligible families in at-risk communities.
Through the Home Visiting Assessment of Implementation Quality
Study, HRSA aims to examine specific components of the Home Visiting
Implementation Quality Conceptual Framework to inform strategies for
implementing high quality home visiting programs. One of the three
quality components the study will focus on is family voice and
leadership (FVL), which involves including families in decisions
related to program implementation. The requested information collection
will provide a better understanding of how MIECHV-funded home visiting
programs currently engage families and will provide preliminary
information on how FVL may influence home visiting implementation and
program quality. Data collection activities include an online survey,
focus groups, and interviews.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA is seeking
additional information about how the MIECHV Program engages and
supports families in leadership opportunities to inform and improve
programs. HRSA intends to use this information to identify actionable
strategies that MIECHV awardees and LIAs could take to engage families
meaningfully and effectively in program decisions and to ensure that
families' unique strengths, needs, cultures, and preferences drive
service delivery.
Likely Respondents: MIECHV Program awardees that are states,
nonprofit organizations, and Tribes, LIA staff (program directors,
coordinators, supervisors, and home visitors); and families who have
been engaged in FVL activities by MIECHV-funded home visiting programs.
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the
information requested. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for
this ICR are summarized in the table below.
