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 to include three additional programs in the Evaluation of Employment Coaching for TANF and Other Related Populations. We have adjusted the burden and cost estimates to reflect the total burden and cost of evaluating these additional three programs. These additional programs increase the diversity of employment coaching implementation approaches and target populations for programs included in the evaluation. As a result, including them will expand the contribution of the evaluation to our understanding of the effectiveness of coaching for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and related populations. The objective of this evaluation is to provide information on coaching interventions implemented by TANF agencies and other employment programs. The evaluation will describe six 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.
