Information Collection Request Title: Evaluation of the Office on 
Women's Health Coalition for a Healthier Community Initiative

    Abstract: This collection is to provide data for the national 
evaluation of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), 
Office on Women's Health (OWH) Coalition for a Healthier Community 
(CHC) Initiative. The initiative supports 10 communities with grants to 
support coalitions in implementing gender-based public health systems 
approaches, evidence-based health interventions, and outreach and 
education activities to reduce barriers to and enhance facilitators of 
improvements in women and girls' health. Each of the grantees has 
implemented an IRB-approved local evaluation; however, OWH is seeking 
to

collect core data across grantees to examine the extent to which the 
Government's investment has resulted in achieving OWH-related Healthy 
People 2020 priorities and yields lessons learned upon which to plan 
future initiatives related to its mission.
    Likely Respondents: The proposed collection includes plans for 
interviews with key staff (project directors, project coordinators, 
local evaluators), coalition members (including chairs and co-chairs), 
and community leaders connected to the coalitions. These respondents 
will also complete online surveys about their perceptions of the 
changes in their community as a result of coalition activities. Program 
participants and other community members exposed to the coalitions' 
activities through social media will also complete online surveys. 
Project directors and local evaluators also annually provide 
information to OWH on their coalition's functioning, the status of the 
cost-effectiveness analysis for their coalition's interventions, and 
the coalition's plans for sustainability. The following table 
summarizes the ``Total Estimated Annualized Burden--Hours'' by form and 
type of respondent.
