ACF is implementing a multi-pronged
research and evaluation approach for the HPOG program to better
understand and assess the activities conducted and their results.
The current submission is in support of the HPOG Impact Study
(HPOG-Impact). Currently, we request a revision to OMB clearance
number 0970-0394 to add baseline questions to the PRS, which is
currently in use by all HPOG grantees. These added questions will
be administered to HPOG-Impact study participants only, including
both those in the treatment group(s) and control group, at baseline
(i.e., prior to random assignment and prior to intake into the
programs studied for the treatment group) in conjunction with the
currently approved PRS. These Supplemental Baseline Questions will
complement baseline data already being collected about the universe
of HPOG program participants through the PRS.
