SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The SRAE National Evaluation: Impact and
Implementation Study will include implementation and impact studies of
SRAE programs for youth. The implementation study will describe youth
attendance, program fidelity, youth engagement and rapport with
facilitators, and fit of the program to the implementation setting. The
impact study will assess data about study participants, which the study
team will use to estimate the impact of the SRAE program. This new
information collection request includes a youth survey for the impact
study, which will be used to collect data from youth in participating
sites three times, (1) before randomization (pre-survey), (2)
immediately after completion of the SRAE or the comparison program
(immediate post-survey), and (3) 6 months after study enrollment
(follow-up survey). It also includes a semi-structured interview guide
for program staff and a youth focus group discussion guide. These
instruments will provide information on the effectiveness of the
delivery of the SRAE program. The data will be used to add to the
evidence base of SRAE programming to inform SRAE grant recipients'
implementation and program improvement efforts, aligned with SRAE
legislation that calls for a national evaluation of the program.
Note: Draft versions of this information collection were previously
available for public comment (89 FR 105050, 90 FR 23530) as part of a
separate request. This comment period and submission request are
specific to the SRAE National Evaluation: Impact and Implementation
Study.
Respondents: The implementation study data collection instruments
will be conducted with program staff and youth program participants.
The youth survey will collect outcome data from youth program
participants before and after completing the program, and 6-months
after study enrollment.
