DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
Title: CrossSite Evaluation of the Children's Bureau Grantee
Cluster: Supporting EvidenceBased Home Visiting Programs to Prevent Child Maltreatment (EBHV).
OMB No.: New collection.
Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF),
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing this
crosssite evaluation data collection activity to identify successful
strategies for adopting, implementing, and sustaining highquality home
visitation programs to prevent child maltreatment. An evaluation study will address four domains: (1) Systems change to develop
infrastructure, (2) fidelity to evidence
[[Page 55052]]
based models, (3) costs of home visiting programs, and (4) family and
child outcomes (via a review of grantee analysis reports). A process
study will focus on the broader grant initiative to understand how
programs plan and develop the infrastructure needed to support home visitation services and how they ensure service quality.
Information will be collected through biennial site visits, web based data entry, a data quality progress table, a relationship questionnaire completed by participants and home visitors, and a granteepartner network survey. In particular, site visits will include interviews with key grantee staff and stakeholders involved in the execution of the grant and in the efforts to make system changes. Grantees will complete systems webbased data entry on goals and operations every six months while agencies implementing home visiting programs associated with the grantee will utilize the fidelity/cost webbased data entry to provide EBHV program, provider, and participant characteristics along with yearly data on costs of home visiting programs.
Respondents: EBHV grantee and key staff (evaluators, home visitors
and supervisors), partners, implementing agencies, home visiting participants, and home visitors.
