DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Title: Evaluation of Domestic Human Trafficking Demonstration
Projects.
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 as part of the ``Evaluation of Domestic Human Trafficking
[[Page 76022]]
Demonstration Projects'' study. This notice addresses the cross-site
process evaluation to be conducted with the FY 2015 domestic human
trafficking demonstration sites funded by the Family and Youth Services
Bureau (FYSB).
The objective of the process evaluation is to describe program
operations and implementation experience, such as start-up efforts,
service provision to a wide array of trafficking victims, collaboration
development, training, and sustainability actions. Information from the
evaluation will assist federal, state, and community policymakers and
funders in laying the groundwork for the refinement of program models
to serve domestic victims of human trafficking, as well as evaluation
strategies for future programs targeting trafficking victims.
The evaluation of domestic human trafficking demonstration projects
will document and describe each site's community and organizational
capacity; partnership composition and functioning; comprehensive,
victim-centered services; and survivor characteristics, experiences,
and outcomes. Primary data for the evaluation will be collected via
qualitative interviews, including key informant interviews, case
narrative interviews and client interviews. Data will be collected in
two waves, during 2016 and 2017. Only the case narrative interviews
will include follow up interviews. Interviews from multiple
perspectives will enhance the government's understanding of strategies
by which grantees can identify, engage and serve diverse populations of
victims of sever forms of human trafficking.
Respondents: Case managers at the three FY 2015 FYSB funded
demonstration projects; staff (e.g., program managers and directors)
from partner organizations that are working with the three FY 2015
FYSB-funded demonstration projects; and clients who have received
services from the three FY 2015 FYSB-funded demonstration projects.
