Information Collection Request Title: Home Visiting Assessment of
Implementation Quality Study: Understanding Supervisor Supports 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
[[Page 7401]]
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 support for supervisors
of home visitors. A qualified, stable, and supported home visitor
workforce is an important quality component of home visiting, and
supervision is a key part of supporting that workforce. The requested
information collection will explore how training for supervisors may be
linked to home visitor job satisfaction. It will also examine how
supervisor training in important content areas (e.g., substance use,
intimate partner violence) may affect the extent to which home visitors
talk to families about these topics. Data collection will include an
online recruitment survey, interviews, and focus groups.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA is seeking
additional information about how the MIECHV Program can train and
support supervisors of home visitors to provide high-quality
supervision. HRSA intends to use this information to identify practices
that MIECHV awardees and LIAs could use to best support home visiting
supervisors, improving home visitors' ability to deliver high-quality
home visiting services.
Likely Respondents: MIECHV-funded LIA staff, including program
directors, coordinators, supervisors, and home visitors.
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.

HRSA specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and
utility of the proposed information collection for the proper
performance of the agency's functions, (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected, and (4) the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection burden.
