The goal of the Sexual Risk Avoidance
Education Program (SRAE) Performance Analysis Study (PAS) is to
collect performance measures data from SRAE grantees and their
program participants ages 10–20 on: the characteristics of youth
involved in programming; youth sexual behavior, sexual behavior
intentions, and behaviors relevant to the success sequence; the
range of services youth receive; program structure, cost, and
support for implementation; program attendance, reach, and dosage;
how programs addressed the A–F topics; and youth outcomes at
program exit. OMB originally approved the information collection in
October 2019, and grantees have been collecting SRAE PAS data since
January 2020. In the most recently completed reporting year
(2020–2021), performance measures data were submitted for 177
grants and 510 program providers, including entry survey data for
108,895 youth participants and exit survey data for 83,785
participants. The performance measures have and will continue to
allow both the ACF program office and grantees to monitor and
report on progress in implementing SRAE programs, and informs
technical assistance. No changes are proposed to the currently
approved materials, only burden estimates have been updated to
reflect the current number of estimated youth
participants.
This is a request to continue
an existing information collection, and the burden estimates have
changed due to changing assumptions. Since the original OMB
submission in 2019, OMB has approved several nonsubstantive change
requests. Since the most recent approval, we have revised our
assumptions about (1) the numbers of youth participants (based on
information submitted during earlier rounds of performance
measures), and (2) the hourly wage rate (which reflects the most
recent numbers available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics). The
combination of these updated assumptions changed the total expected
annual burden hours from 121,244 in the most recent request to
149,113 currently and changed the total annual cost from $707,017
to $748,821.
