This information
collection is approved through 8-94 under the followi conditions:
As agreed to by ACF, the Agency will compare the findings of this
evaluation to the aggregate data reported on the Program
Information Report. This will include a comparison of information
on the health status of the child, including immunization records
as reported by the parents versus what the Center has in its
records. The accuracy of reported data will become increasingly
important as the program moves to outcome-based evaluation which
will likely rely heavily on record-keeping. The Agency will also
make changes in the parent interview to 1)# 5, change Multiracial
to "Other race"; 2) eliminate question22; 3)Rephrase # 51a to read
"Did you make any changes in the following areas? For the Health
Coordinator Interview, ACF will 1) Modify # 24 to make these
value-free statements, i.e. a. Frequency of Meetings. These changes
should also be made in the other coordinator interviews where
necessary. Finally, ACF will delete the Education Coordinator
Interview because it is duplicative of information already
collected through the other interviews.
