Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request; Proposed
Projects
Title: DHHS/ACF/ASPE/DOL
Enhanced Services for the Hard-toEmploy Demonstration and Evaluation:
Kansas and Missouri 36-Month Data
Collection
OMB No.: New Collection
Description: The Enhanced Services
for the Hard-to-Employ Demonstration
and Evaluation Project (HtE) seeks to
learn what services improve the
employment prospects of low-income
persons who face serious obstacles to
steady work. The project is sponsored
by the Office of Planning, Research and
Evaluation (OPRE) within the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) and the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation (ASPE), both within the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), and the U.S.
Department of Labor (DOL).
The HtE project is a multi-year, multisite evaluation that employs an
experimental longitudinal research
design to test four strategies aimed at
promoting employment among hard-toemploy populations. The four strategies
include; (1) Intensive care management
and job services project for Rhode Island
Medicaid recipients with serious
depression; (2) job readiness training,
worksite placements, job coaching, job
development and other training
opportunities for recent parolees in New
York City; (3) pre-employment services
and transitional employment for longterm participants receiving Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF),
and (4) two-generational Early Head
Start (EHS) services providing enhanced
self-sufficiency services for parents,
parent skills training, and high-quality
child care for children in low-income
families in Kansas and Missouri.
The purpose of this document is to
request public comment on the
proposed 36-month parent survey and
direct child assessments in Kansas and
Missouri. The research team plans to
collect parent-reported survey assessing
parents’ employment, education and
economic outcomes, child outcomes, as
well as aspects of parental psychological
well-being, parenting, family
functioning and routines, and child care
use. This data collection effort will also
include direct assessments of young
children’s cognitive, socioemotional and
behavioral development.
The follow-up survey and direct child
assessments at the 36-month follow-up
in Kansas and Missouri will be used for
the following purposes: To study the
extent to which EHS services with
enhanced self-sufficiency services
(enhanced EHS services) affect
employment, earnings, income, and
welfare dependence of low-income
parents with young children; to study
the impacts of enhanced EHS services
on child well-being and school
readiness; to examine the impacts of
enhanced EHS services on key aspects
of parental psychological well-being,
parenting, family functioning and
routines, and child care that might
account for the effects of the
intervention on young children; to
collect data on a wider range of outcome
measures than is available through
welfare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, Social
Security, and Unemployment Insurance
records.
The 36-month data collection effort
draws heavily from the 15-month survey
and direct child assessments conduced
in this site. Materials for the survey and
direct child assessments for the 15month data collection effort were
previously submitted to OMB and were
approved (OMB Control No. 0970–026).
Respondents: The target population of
the HtE project in Kansas and Missouri
is low-income pregnant women and
families with infants and toddlers.
The respondents to the 36-month data
collection effort will be all participants
in the program and the control groups
of the HtE project in Kansas and
Missouri. Parents will be responding to
a survey. Children between the ages of
2 and 7 years old at the 36-month
follow-up will be asked to participate in
direct child assessments aimed at
understanding their emotional,
behavioral, and cognitive development
and school readiness.
The annual burden estimates are
detailed below, and the substantive
content of each component will be
detailed in the supporting statement
attached to the forthcoming 30-day
notice.
