Abstract: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks approval to continue to conduct a long-term follow-up of the families participating in the Mother and Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation (MIHOPE). In 2011, ACF and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) within HHS launched MIHOPE and the study began enrolling eligible mothers in 2012 (see Supporting Statement B2: Target Population for eligibility criteria) and has followed up with the recruited sample when the MIHOPE child was 15 months, 2.5 years old, 3.5 years old, and enrolled in kindergarten. The proposed information collection would follow up with families while the MIHOPE child is in elementary school, in approximately third grade. Completing this information collection is necessary for understanding the effectiveness of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV) in its first few years of operation and for helping states and practitioners develop and strengthen home visiting programs in the future (see Supporting Statement A, A2). The legislation that authorized MIECHV indicated that home visiting programs are expected to improve school readiness and academic achievement. The MIHOPE third grade follow-up allows researchers to obtain school records that include reading and math test scores at the first point at which they become available. Further, the legislation called for an evaluation that includes an assessment of the potential for home visiting programs to reduce costs. Obtaining information at or following third grade is especially important for conducting benefit-cost analyses because allowing more time for benefits to accrue will provide more precise estimates of these benefits (see Supporting Statement B, B1).

Short Statement: This is a revision of an existing information collection for MIHOPE (OMB #0970-0402). The estimated burden has changed for two reasons: 1. Burden associated with the MIHOPE kindergarten follow-up has been updated to show only remaining burden to complete data collection. 2. Burden associated with a the new MIHOPE-3G data collection has been added. Additionally, we have updated hourly wage used in these calculations for staff from agencies from which we will collect administrative data to reflect current data.
