Abstract:
In July, 2011, OMB approved the baseline data collection for this evaluation (OMB 1205-0486), and in March, 2012, OMB approved a subsequent request for the process study data collection, which includes site visits and focus group administration (OMB 1205-0487). The request for approval in this information collection request is limited to the follow-up interviews planned for all study participants 18 months and 36 months after baseline collection. Requests for approvals for this evaluation needed to be submitted in three parts for several reasons. The main reason is that it was necessary to (1) conduct random assignment and collect baseline data early in the study period to obtain a sample size needed for the estimation of program impacts and (2) conduct two rounds of process study visits, including one when the early sample was participating in the training program. In addition, the study structure required that the baseline data inform the development of the follow-up data collection effort. As a result, it was necessary to initiate the baseline data collection and gain experience in its implementation before the follow-up instruments could be developed. The current request addresses the need to increase incentive payments in an effort to increase response rates.
