Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; 
Public Comment Request

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the Secretary (OS), Department of 
Health and Human Services, announces plans to submit a new Information 
Collection Request (ICR), described below, to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB). Prior to submitting the ICR to OMB, OS seeks comments 
from the public regarding the burden estimate below or any other aspect 
of the ICR.

DATES: Comments on the ICR must be received on or before February 7, 
2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to 
[email protected] or by calling (202) 690-5683.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When submitting comments or requesting 
information, please include the document identifier OS-0990-New-60D for 
reference.
    Information Collection Request Title: A Client-Centered Performance 
Measure for Contraceptive Services.
    Abstract: The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health/Office 
of Population Affairs is seeking an approval by the Office of 
Management and Budget on a new information collection. We propose to 
evaluate a scale previously developed by our collaborators at the 
University of California San Francisco (UCSF)--the 11-item 
Interpersonal Quality of Family Planning Care (IQFP) scale--among 3,000 
female family planning clients. Initially informed by qualitative work 
around women's preferences for contraceptive counseling, the IQFP scale 
has already been shown to be a valid and reliable scale in research 
settings but its use as a performance measure hasn't yet been 
evaluated. Family planning providers will also complete a short survey 
about provider characteristics (approximately 80 providers) and clinic 
demographics (approximately 10 clinics).
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The proposed use of the 
information to be collected is to develop a patient-reported outcome 
performance measure (PRO-PM) on contraceptive counseling and assess its 
validity, reliability, feasibility, usability, and use. If we find that 
this measure has adequately met these criteria, UCSF and the Office of 
Population Affairs (OPA) will prepare it for submission to the National 
Quality Forum (NQF) for use in a variety of clinical settings where 
family planning care is provided. Measurement of the quality of 
contraceptive counseling can be used as part of quality improvement 
activities to increase awareness and use of client-centered counseling 
approaches. By improving client-centered services, women can choose the 
contraceptive method that works best for them, which can lead to 
reductions in rates of unintended pregnancy and other adverse 
reproductive outcomes.
    Likely Respondents: Family planning providers and their patients.
