SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description:
The Sexual Risk Avoidance Education National Evaluation Impact Study of Co-Regulation Facilitation Strategies in SRAE programs will collect impact and implementation data to test the impact of training and coaching facilitators to use co-regulation strategies while delivering a commonly used SRAE program. The implementation study data will describe the facilitators' use of the co-regulation strategies and the connection to youth experiences in the SRAE program. The impact study will assess data about study participants, which the study team will use to estimate the impact of the co-regulation training and coaching on facilitators and youth outcomes. This new information collection request includes a youth survey for the impact study, which will be used to collect data from youth in participating sites two times: (1) before programming (pre-survey) and (2) immediately after completion of the SRAE program (immediate post-survey). It also includes youth exit tickets administered after up to six SRAE program lessons, a semi-structured facilitator interview protocol administered on average three times, and facilitator logs completed six times. The study will also analyze data from SRAE performance measures entry and exit participant surveys (Office of Management and Budget #: 0970-0536). Together, these instruments will provide information on the effectiveness of the delivery of the SRAE program. The data will be used to add to the evidence base of SRAE programming to inform SRAE grant recipients' implementation and program improvement efforts, aligned with SRAE legislation that calls for a national evaluation of the program.
Note:
Draft versions of this information collection were previously available for public comment (89 FR 105050, 90 FR 23530) as part of a separate request. This comment period and submission request are specific to the SRAE National Evaluation Impact Study of Co-Regulation Facilitation Strategies in SRAE programs, for which the drafts previously available for public comment have been tailored.
Respondents:
The youth survey and youth exit tickets will collect outcome data from youth program participants. The facilitator interview protocol and facilitators logs will collect implementation data collection from program staff.
Annual Burden Estimates
The youth survey has been tailored to only take 8 minutes, as opposed to the original estimate for the draft version of 30 minutes. The draft facilitator logs were estimated to take 4 minutes per response, while the tailored versions are estimated at 2 minutes per response. Additionally, the estimated number of times a respondent will be asked to complete an activity has been reduced to ensure the collection is as least burdensome to respondents as possible while still providing utility to the government.
