Activity; Comment Request
Title: Innovative Strategies for
Increasing Self-Sufficiency: Baseline
Data Collection.
OMB No.: 0970–0343.
Billing Accounting Code (BAC):
418409 (CAN G996121).
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is proposing a data
collection activity as part of the
Innovative Strategies for Increasing SelfSufficiency (ISIS) demonstration and
evaluation. The ISIS project will test a
range of promising strategies to promote
employment, self-sufficiency, and
reduce dependence on cash welfare.
The ISIS project will evaluate multiple
employment-focused strategies that
build on previous approaches and are
adapted to the current Federal, State,
and local policy environment. The
major goals of the project include
increasing the empirical knowledge
about the effectiveness of a variety of
programs for low-income families to
sustain employment and advance to
positions that enable self-sufficiency, as
well as producing useful findings for
both policymakers and program
administrators.
This proposed information collection
activity focuses on collecting baseline
data elements. Two data collection
instruments will be completed by all
participants prior to random
assignment, and a third will be an
interview guide to collect information
from program staff. The first is a short
baseline information form (BIF) that will
collect basic identification,
demographic, and contact information.
The form will include relatively
standard items from prior evaluations
and national surveys. The second
instrument will be a self-administered
questionnaire (SAQ), covering
information related to the project goals.
The third instrument, baseline
implementation data collection
interviews, will be used to collect
information from knowledgeable
informants about the service context for
each evaluation site using a baseline
implementation guide. The purpose of
such interviews is to document and
assess the service environment in which
the evaluation is implemented and the
opportunities for control group
members to access the same or similar
services as the treatment group
members.
Respondents: Individuals enrolled in
ISIS demonstration interventions,
control group members, ISIS program
operators (BIF and SAQ) and State and
local informants (interviews).
