Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Title: Youth Education and Relationship Services (YEARS)
Descriptive Study.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: Since 2006, Congress has authorized dedicated funding
(currently at the level of $75 million annually) to support programs
promoting healthy marriage and relationship education (HMRE). In order
to better understand the services that federally-funded HMRE programs
are providing to youth and the populations the programs are reaching,
The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE), within ACF/HHS
is proposing data collection activity as part of the Youth Education
and Relationship Services (YEARS) Descriptive Study. The data that ACF
proposes to collect includes information on funding spent serving
youth, the number of youth being served, youth demographic
characteristics, characteristics of the organizations or programs
serving youth, information on program curricula and contents, and
program implementation information. This data is to be collected
through a web-based survey that is to be completed by HMRE grantee
program staff. This information will be critical to informing future
efforts to improve HMRE programs serving youth.
Respondents: Healthy marriage and relationship education (HMRE)
grantee program staff.
