Submission for OMB Review; 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 2-
year data collection as part of the ``Evaluation of Domestic Human
Trafficking 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, client interviews, bimonthly telephone
interviews, and cost modules (i.e., structured interviews with project
directors to collect information on costs). Data will be collected via
two site visits per year, during 2016 and 2017. 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 severe forms of human trafficking.
Respondents: Project directors and 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.
