Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Preventing and Addressing Intimate Violence When Engaging 
Dads.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), 
Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) proposes to collect 
information as part of the Preventing and Addressing Intimate Violence 
when Engaging Dads (PAIVED) study. Since 2006, the Healthy Marriage and 
Responsible Fatherhood (HMRF) initiative has funded programs that play 
a key role in helping the Office of Family Assistance (OFA) achieve its 
goals to foster economically secure households and communities for the 
well-being and long-term success of children and families. The purpose 
of the PAIVED study is to better understand the prevalence of intimate 
partner violence (IPV) experienced by the population of fathers served 
by Responsible Fatherhood (RF) programs, and the services that 
federally- and non-federally funded RF programs are providing to 
address and contribute to the prevention of IPV among its participants.
    The proposed data collection will include whether IPV content is 
included in RF programs, the types of activities they are using to 
address IPV, and related successes and challenges. Other collected data 
will include barriers to addressing IPV in RF programs, the relevance 
of addressing IPV with fathers, fathers' reactions to this programming, 
and what types of partnerships RF programs have with other agencies to 
address IPV. This information will be collected through interviews 
conducted over the phone and in-person with RF program staff and 
community partners. This information will be critical to inform future 
efforts to address and contribute to the prevention of IPV through RF 
programming.
    Respondents: Responsible Fatherhood program staff (e.g., program 
directors and facilitators) and community partners.
