Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Accomplishments of the Domestic Violence Hotline, Online
Connections and Text (ADVHOCaT) Study.
OMB No.: 0970-0468.
Description: The National Domestic Violence Hotline (The Hotline)
and loveisrespect (LIR), which are supported by the Division of Family
Violence Prevention and Services within the Family and Youth Services
Bureau (FYSB) 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. To describe the activities and accomplishments of
The Hotline and LIR and develop potential new or revised performance
measures, the ACF Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE)
and FYSB are proposing a data collection activity as part of the
Accomplishments of the Domestic Violence Hotline, Online Connections
and Text (ADVHOCaT) Study.
As part of the ongoing program activities and monitoring for The
Hotline and LIR, ACF proposes to collect additional information via
voluntary phone, chat, and Web-based surveys of individuals who contact
The Hotline and LIR. Participants will complete an exit survey at the
end of their contact with The Hotline and LIR, and a follow-up survey
approximately two weeks later. The survey will include questions about
reasons for contacting The Hotline/LIR, whether needs were met,
satisfaction with services received, and helpfulness of information
provided. This data collection builds on a previous data collection
that was focused on understanding the preferred mode of contact by
those who contact The Hotline and LIR. This new information will inform
future efforts to monitor and improve the performance of domestic
violence hotlines and provide hotline services.
Respondents: Individuals aged 18 and older who contact The Hotline
and LIR via phone or chat.
