Abstract: OMB approved the impact and implementation studies and instruments for the OPRE Study, Supporting Youth to be Successful in Life (SYSIL) on July 27, 2021. As part of the implementation study, the initial approval included two rounds of site visits and two “check-in” calls. Our initial plans for site visits were for 1.5-hour interviews with an average of 3 staff in each of 12 sites (6 Pathways and 6 comparison). The original request approved by OMB included 30 respondents for each condition (total of 60 respondents) across both rounds of site visits. During the first round of site visits, sites requested that we include additional staff in the interviews. As a result, we interviewed 22 staff in Pathways sites and 29 staff in comparison sites (51 site staff total for just the first round of visits). We now need to plan for the second round of site visits and estimate a similar number of respondents for the second round of interviews. As such, we need to increase the estimated number of respondents to the interviews. Additionally, through a January 2022 non-substantive request, we were approved to speak with a total of 16 respondents across both conditions (one respondent per site ) for the check-in calls for each of the two rounds. Similar to the first round of site visits, we received requests from sites to include more than one person in the check-in call. We need to account for an increase from what was originally estimated for the number of participants on check-in calls. Finally, during data collection some youth and young adults have requested to participate in a one-on-one interview instead of a focus group. We would like to accommodate the requests of these potential respondents. This change requests implements updates to address the items above.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: We propose adjusting the questions on the 6-month, 12-month, and 24-month follow-up surveys to reduce the potential for emotional discomfort for respondents. We anticipate removing the proposed items will decrease the burden to complete each survey by 5 minutes (0.08 hours). Additionally, we propose replacing the currently approved contact update process with four short contact information requests (Instrument 5). The contact information update requests are estimated to take 5 minutes to complete (.08 hours) and that 50 percent of youth will complete each of the four requests. Overall, the changes proposed in this request result in a decrease to the total annual burden estimates from 489 hours to 461 hours. See associated nonsubstantive change memo for additional information about proposed changes.
