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, which included a baseline survey and 6-, 12-, and 24-month follow-up surveys. Currently, the approved study includes the following information collections: • Four 30-minute web-based surveys: one at baseline (enrollment), and then post-enrollment at 6-, 12-, and 24-months. • Administrative data from Linked Network of Colorado (LINC) to look at additional youth outcomes. • Four contact information update web-based surveys at 9-, 15-, 18-, and 21-months. • Virtual and in-person visits to sites to interview staff and youth. • Two additional brief check-in calls with staff. Baseline data collection with youth for the impact study began in September 2021. Data collection for the 6-month and 12-month follow-up surveys began in April 2022 and October 2022, respectively. After 18 months of enrollment, the number of youth enrolled was 63 percent of the expected sample, with monthly enrollment numbers averaging 12 youth per month, as opposed to the projected 19 youth per month. After numerous discussions with the study team and caseworkers to understand the cause of the lower enrollment and to address the challenges, the study team decided to extend enrollment by 6 months and decrease the number of follow-up surveys. These proposed changes are an effort to help increase enrollment into the study. This request includes the following nonsubstantive changes: • Replacing the 24-month survey with 24-month administrative data from LINC that will allow us to look at longer term outcomes without the 24-month post-enrollment survey. • Reducing the number and revising the timing of the contact information requests since there will no longer be a survey at 24 months. We propose a change from 4 requests at 9-, 15-, 18-, and 21-months post-enrollment to 2 requests at 3- and 9-months post-enrollment with the same $5 token of appreciation. • Replacing the test of the $5 token of appreciation for the contact information requests with a test of using a $5 pre-payment for the 6-month follow-up survey.
