Abstract:
The Office of Community Services (OCS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is requesting approval of a collection to provide information on baseline diaper need for participants served by the Diaper Distribution Demonstration and Research Pilot (DDDRP), as well as on changes in diaper need and family financial security and self-sufficiency after receipt of DDDRP services. The DDDRP is the first-ever federal diaper pilot, and research on diaper need and how diaper programs address that need is nascent. This data collection will supply critical information on diaper need and participant outcomes to provide timely information to program administrators at the federal level in addition to program administrators of DDDRP grant recipients. OCS has been collecting this information under the Formative Data Collections for ACF Program Support generic information collection (OMB #0970-0531). The formative collection supported the development of two virtual surveys hosted by OCS. The surveys included an enrollment version that was administered before participants took home their first pack of diapers and a follow-up version administered after participants had received diapers for several months. This information collection will build upon what OCS has learned from the formative collection and feedback received during the 60-day public comment period to continue collecting beneficiary data while transitioning to a new approach led by grant recipients. With this information collection, current grant recipients that are already using the virtual surveys hosted by OCS will continue to use the OCS-hosted enrollment survey for newly enrolling beneficiaries. Grant recipients awarded in fiscal year (FY) 2024 and later will use information they collect from individuals through their enrollment and tracking processes to complete an aggregate report of beneficiary characteristics and outcomes. The aggregate report will serve as a supplement to the Performance Progress Report that is approved under the Generic Performance Progress Reports collection (OMB #0970-0490).
