Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Building Evidence on
Employment Strategies for LowIncome Families (BEES) (New
Collection)
Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation; Administration for
Children and Families; HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:

The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
proposing a data collection activity as
part of the Building Evidence on
Employment Strategies for Low-Income
Families (BEES). The purpose of BEES
is to evaluate the effectiveness of a
broad range of innovative programs
designed to boost employment and
earnings among low-income Americans.
Within this general focus area, ACF has
a particular interest in programs that
serve adults whose employment
prospects have been affected by
substance use disorder (SUD), opioid
use disorder (OUD), mental health
conditions, and justice involvement.
ACF expects that a subset of programs
to be evaluated will serve these specific
target populations. To meet these
objectives, this study will include
impact and implementation evaluations
for up to 21 sites, as well as descriptive
work focused on other sites that have a
focus on clients with opioid use and
other substance abuse disorders. When
possible, a randomized control trial
research design will be used for the
impact evaluations. The purpose of the
current submission is to request
approval for data collection needed for
the BEES study.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
requirements of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

SUMMARY:

Frequency of
the response

the Administration for Children and
Families is soliciting public comment
on the specific aspects of the
information collection described above.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed
collection of information can be
obtained and comments may be
forwarded by writing to the
Administration for Children and
Families, Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation, 330 C Street SW,
Washington, DC 20201, Attn: OPRE
Reports Clearance Officer. Email
address: OPREinfocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. All requests should be
identified by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The BEES impact studies
call for multiple data collection points
with study participants. Data will be
collected from study participants
through the following methods: (1)
Baseline information form completed by
study participants at study entry, (2)
study participants will also be asked to
periodically update their contact
information, (3) interview administered
to participants in non-behavioral health
sites 6 months after study entry to learn
about program participation, (4)
interview administered to participants
in behavioral health sites approximately
12 months after study entry to learn
about employment and related
outcomes, (5) individual interviews
with up to 6 participants in each site
and their case managers. These data will
be used to assess the extent to which the
programs being evaluated improve
participants’ employment, earnings,
income, behavioral health, and wellbeing. They will also be used to assess
the extent to which individuals in the
study receive employment services.
The research team will also collect
data from researchers, policy experts,
state and local administrators, and
program staff to identify potential sites.
These data will be collected primarily
by telephonic staff interviews using
discussion guides.

For the implementation studies, the
research team will collect data from
program staff to assess program
implementation. Information will be
collected in consistent ways across sites
and, to the extent feasible, will use the
same measures and data collection
procedures. Data collected from
program staff during the study will
include the following: (1) Site visit data
including staff interviews, (2) interviews
with case managers as part of the

participant case studies mentioned
above, and (3) program staff surveys.
These data will be used to measure
program implementation and fidelity,
factors affecting service delivery,
program staff characteristics, and staff
time allocation. All impact study sites
will include an implementation study.
In addition, there will be several
descriptive studies of other sites that
use some of the implementation
instruments to better understand

programs serving clients with opioid
use and other substance abuse
disorders.
Future information collection requests
and related Federal Register Notices
will describe future data collection
efforts for this project.
Respondents: Participants enrolled in
the study, program staff, national policy
experts and researchers, and state and
local administrators.
