Abstract:
On March 26th, 2024, OMB approved the information collection request to: (1) collect survey data from up to 600 Early Head Start programs representative of the population of Early Head Start programs in the continental United States; and (2) recruit Early Head Start program directors, or another program staff to answer the survey about (a) their program’s staff recruitment, training, and professional development strategies; (b) their programs’ successes and challenges with those strategies for hiring and maintaining staff with the qualifications and competencies to serve infants, toddlers, and pregnant women. The study team started collecting data in April of 2024 and preliminary analysis of our data showed that there was a survey logic error that made 43 of respondents skip over a subset of follow-up questions from instruments 1, 2, and 3. It is important that our team collects complete information from most participants to ensure representativeness of the Early Head Start program population. Finding this error highlighted a need for our team to be able to follow-up with certain participants about this specific question and other issues that might arise as we perform quality assurance checks of the data.
