Title: Descriptive Study of Early Head

Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), requests clearance to

recruit Early Head Start (EHS) programs
for participation in the Descriptive
Study of Early Head Start (DSEHS) and
to conduct a pilot test of potential
measures.
DSEHS is a longitudinal study of a
representative sample of programs and
children in three age cohorts, which
will collect information about programs,
families, and services. When completed,
data will be collected on a sample of
approximately 2,100 children and
families from 60 EHS programs. Data
will be collected in four waves: Fall
2008, Fall 2009, Fall 2010, and Fall
2011. Children and families will be
followed until children are three years
old and exit EHS programs.
Data collected under DSEHS will
complement information gathered under
the Survey of Early Head Start Programs
(SEHSP), OMB Control No. 0992–0008.
SEHSP gathered information on the
management systems, services, and
characteristics of children and families
served by EHS programs. To
complement this information, DSEHS
will gather information on the needs
and characteristics of children and
families enrolled in EHS programs,
including an assessment of children’s
and families’ needs, how programs meet

the needs of children and families in
EHS programs, and how children and
families in EHS programs progress over
time.
The activity proposed under this
notice includes only the data collected
during the selection and recruitment of
programs to participate in DSEHS and a
pilot study on the feasibility of
proposed measures.
To select and recruit programs, ACF
intends to send letters to program
directors of selected EHS programs.
Directors will receive a summary of the
study goals that will include an
overview of the design and data
collection, a brochure describing the
study, and examples of the consent
materials for enrolling study
participants. Programs will not be asked
to enroll participants during the initial
selection and recruitment phase.
Selected programs may also receive a
follow-up phone call to answer
questions from EHS directors or staff.
Program directors will be asked to
provide information on the numbers of
families enrolled with children who
will be within two months of the target
ages at the time of each of the four fall
data collections.
ACF intends to conduct a feasibility
pilot study at two EHS programs in June
2008. In the pilot study, ACF will test
the feasibility of administering various
direct child assessment measures and
parent interviews.
Respondents: EHS Program Directors,
Parents, and Children.

Proposed Project
Title: Descriptive Study of Early Head Start (DSEHS).
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF),
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), requests clearance
to recruit Early Head Start (EHS) programs for participation in the
Descriptive Study of Early Head Start (DSEHS) and to conduct a pilot
test of potential measures.
DSEHS is a longitudinal study of a representative sample of
programs and children in three age cohorts, which will collect
information about programs, families, and services. When completed,
data will be collected on a sample of approximately 2,100 children and
families from 60 EHS programs. Data will be collected in four waves:
Fall 2008, Fall 2009, Fall 2010, and Fall 2011. Children and families
will be followed until children are three years old and exit EHS
programs.
Data collected under DSEHS will complement information gathered
under the Survey of Early Head Start Programs (SEHSP), OMB Control No.
0992-0008. SEHSP gathered information on the management systems,
services, and characteristics of children and families served by EHS
programs. To complement this information, DSEHS will gather information
on the needs and characteristics of children and families enrolled in
EHS programs, including an assessment of children's and families'
needs, how programs meet
[[Page 66180]]
the needs of children and families in EHS programs, and how children
and families in EHS programs progress over time.
The activity proposed under this notice includes only the data
collected during the selection and recruitment of programs to
participate in DSEHS and a pilot study on the feasibility of proposed
measures.
To select and recruit programs, ACF intends to send letters to
program directors of selected EHS programs. Directors will receive a
summary of the study goals that will include an overview of the design
and data collection, a brochure describing the study, and examples of
the consent materials for enrolling study participants. Programs will
not be asked to enroll participants during the initial selection and
recruitment phase.
Selected programs may also receive a follow-up phone call to answer
questions from EHS directors or staff. Program directors will be asked
to provide information on the numbers of families enrolled with
children who will be within two months of the target ages at the time
of each of the four fall data collections.
ACF intends to conduct a feasibility pilot study at two EHS
programs in June 2008. In the pilot study, ACF will test the
feasibility of administering various direct child assessment measures
and parent interviews.
Respondents: EHS Program Directors, Parents, and Children.
