Title: Head Start Health Managers Descriptive Study.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF),
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing a data
collection activity that will provide descriptive data about the Head
Start Health Services Area. The goals of the Head Start Health Manager
Descriptive Study are (1) to describe the characteristics of Health
Managers and related staff in Head Start (HS) and Early Head Start
(EHS) programs; (2) to identify the current landscape of health
programs and services being offered to children and families; (3) to
determine how health initiatives are prioritized, implemented, and
sustained; and (4) to identify the programmatic features and policy
levers that exist to support health services including staffing,
environment, and community collaboration. These objectives will be
accomplished through an online survey of all HS/EHS Health Managers,
including American Indian/Alaskan Native and Migrant and Seasonal Head
Start grantees. The survey responses will be further informed by semi-
structured interviews conducted with a subsample of Head Start health
managers, teachers, family service workers, and home visitors.
Respondents: The target respondents for this data collection are
Head Start Health Managers at the grantee and delegate level; however
data will also be collected from Head Start Directors, Teachers, Family
Service Workers, and Home Visitors.
