Abstract:
The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE), in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks renewal of this generic survey development clearance to allow us to use samples of more than nine participants in applying methods useful for identifying questionnaire and procedural problems, suggesting solutions, and measuring the relative effectiveness of alternative solutions. OPRE studies ACF programs, and the populations they serve, through rigorous research and evaluation projects. These include evaluations of existing programs, evaluations of innovative approaches to helping low-income children and families, research syntheses and descriptive and exploratory studies. This generic clearance allows us to identify if and when a survey may be simplified for respondents, respondent burden may be reduced, among other possible improvements. The research completed under this generic is intended to be informative in nature; the studies may be iterative, as variation in questions or procedures are proposed, evaluated, and retested. The core methodology and target populations will be consistent and burden caps and incentive structure are proposed in this request. The pretesting of surveys will inform future ACF/OPRE information collections, resulting in higher quality studies.
