Abstract:
The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks approval for data collection activities conducted for the Evaluation of Employment Coaching for TANF and Other Related Populations. The objective of this evaluation is to provide information on coaching interventions implemented by Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) agencies and other employment programs. The evaluation will describe up to three coaching interventions and assess their effectiveness in helping people obtain and retain jobs, advance in their careers, move toward self-sufficiency, and improve their overall well-being. The evaluation will include both an experimental impact study and an implementation study. This information collection request (ICR) covers data collection activities for both an impact and an implementation study. Data collection activities for the impact study include: (1) baseline data collection and (2) two follow-up surveys (the first of which is covered in this ICR). Data collection activities for the implementation study include: (1) semi-structured staff interviews; (2) a staff survey; (3) in-depth participant interviews; (4) staff reports of participant service receipt; and (5) video recordings of coaching sessions. A subsequent ICR will request approval for the second follow-up survey of the impact study.
