DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Title: Accomplishments of the Domestic Violence Hotline, Online
Connections and Text (ADVHOCaT) Study.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The National Domestic Violence Hotline (NDVH) and the
National Dating Abuse Helpline or Love Is Respect (NDAH/LIR), which are
supported by the Division of Family Violence Prevention and Services
within the Family and Youth Services Bureau of the Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), serve as partners in the intervention, prevention, and
resource assistance efforts of the network of family violence, domestic
violence, and dating violence service providers.
In order to describe the activities and accomplishments of the NDVH
and NDAH/LIR and develop potential new or revised performance measures,
the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE), within ACF/HHS
is proposing data collection activity as part of the Accomplishments of
the Domestic Violence Hotline, Online Connections and Text (ADVHOCaT)
Study.
This study will primarily analyze data previously collected by the
NDVH and NDAH/LIR as part of their ongoing program activities and
monitoring. ACF proposes to collect additional information, including
information about the preferred mode (phone, chat, text), ease of use,
and perceived safety of each mode of contact.
This data is to be collected through voluntary web-based surveys
that are to be completed by those who access the NDVH and NDAH/LIR Web
sites. This information will be critical to informing future efforts to
monitor and improve the performance of domestic violence hotlines and
provide hotline services.
Respondents: Individuals who access the NDVH and NDAH/LIR Web
sites.
