Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Title: Maternal and Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation
(MIHOPE) Check-In project--Update contact information, consent forms,
child and family outcomes survey.
OMB No.: 0970-0402.
Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), in
partnership with the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA), both of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS),
is proposing a data collection activity as part of the Maternal and
Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation (MIHOPE) Check-In project. The
purpose of the MIHOPE Check-In project is to maintain
up[hyphen]to[hyphen]date contact information for families that
participated in MIHOPE (the national evaluation of the Maternal,
Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting program), so it is possible
to conduct future follow-up studies and assess the potential long-term
impact of the program. In addition to contact information, the MIHOPE
Check-In project will also maintain up-to-date consent forms for the
collection of administrative data and administer a brief survey on
child and family outcomes.
Respondents: Adult participants in MIHOPE and adult primary
caregivers of children who participated in MIHOPE.
