will spend more time using media
features than text-based content.
All information will be collected
electronically. This study will collect
data through two mechanisms: (1) Selfadministered online surveys, and (2) the
Crush enrollment database. Participants
will complete a total of three selfadministered online surveys at baseline,
three and six month follow-up. Survey
questions will assess behavior, attitudes,
social norms about sexual behavior,
contraception and clinic utilization, and
satisfaction with Crush.
The mobile response surveys will be
sent to participants via text message
which they can complete on a
smartphone. The estimated burden per
response is 13–20 minutes. Survey
and duration of each visit by User ID
and IP address. Web analytics are
generated for any Web site and are a
standard evaluation mechanism for
assessing the traffic patterns on Web
pages. This technology permits
development of an objective and
quantifiable measure that tracks and
records participants’ exposure to Crush.
This study component does not entail
any response burden to participants.
Findings will be used to inform the
development and delivery of effective
health communications.
OMB approval is requested for one
year. Participation is voluntary and
there are no costs to respondents other
than their time.
responses will be matched by each
participant’s unique identifying
number. Each participant will receive
up to two survey reminders starting one
week after the initial survey link is sent,
for two consecutive weeks. There are
minor differences in survey content for
the control and intervention groups.
Each participant will create a profile
in the database upon enrollment. This
database will collect initial
demographic and contact information,
informed consent signatures, and
information about the participant’s
navigation pattern through Crush. Any
information entered directly into Crush
interactive features will not be stored in
the system. The database only collects
web analytics data about page visited

Title: Youth Education and
Relationship Services (YEARS)
Descriptive Study.
OMB No.: New Collection,
Description: Since 2006, Congress has
authorized dedicated funding (currently
at the level of $75 million annually) to
support programs providing healthy
marriage and relationship education
(HMRE). In order to better understand
the services that federally-funded HMRE
programs are providing to youth and the
populations the programs are reaching,
The Office of Planning, Research and
Evaluation (OPRE), within ACF/HHS, is
proposing data collection activity as
part of the Youth Education and
Relationship Services (YEARS)
descriptive study. The data that ACF
proposes to collect includes information
on funding spent serving youth, the
number of youth being served, youth
demographic characteristics,
characteristics of the organizations or
programs serving youth, information on
program curricula and contents, and
program implementation information.
This data is to be collected through a
web-based survey that is to be
completed by HMRE grantee program
staff. This information will be critical to
inform future efforts to improve HMRE
programs serving youth.
Respondents: Healthy marriage and
relationship education (HMRE) grantee
program staff.
Note: To fully address the objectives
outlined for this project, it was determined
that additional information collection beyond
what was proposed in the 60 day Federal
Register notice is necessary. Therefore, the
proposed semi-structured interviews
submitted with this request (including the
site visit screener and semi structured
interviews with Program directors/
Administrators, Facilitators, and Partner
organizations/providers) require additional
burden beyond that originally estimated in
the 60 day Federal Register notice.

OMB No.: New Collection.

Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is proposing data
collection activities as part of a project
to understand the intersection between
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) and Refugee Cash
Assistance (RCA) programs. The goal of
this project is to help ACF better
understand how the variety of systems
that assist refugees collaborate to
promote common goals of selfsufficiency and employment, and how
refugees’ experiences might differ
depending on the structure of the state
(or local) program arrangements. To
achieve this goal, this study aims to
document what states are doing to help
refugees gain self-sufficiency; if and
how states are integrating RCA, TANF,
and associated services to better meet
the needs of refugees; and what data is
collected currently, or might be
collected in the future, to better
understand refugee resettlement
services and suggest future areas for
inquiry.
The proposed data collection
activities described in this notice will
collect data about state policies and
practices; how TANF, RCA, and
associated services are provided; the
respective roles of the various agencies
and organizations in serving
participants; how the agencies and
organizations integrate services
internally and/or collaborate with other
organizations; refugee populations
served; approaches to addressing the
particular barriers refugees face;
promising practices and strategies for
assisting refugees; gaps in services; local
labor market conditions; and
experiences of refugees accessing
services through these programs.

proposed new information collection
activities for this study: (1) The survey
of state refugee coordinators and
Wilson-Fish program coordinators will
be administered to state refugee
coordinators in each state and the
District of Columbia. The survey will
collect information about state policies
and practices.
(2) The four site visit interview guides
will collect information about how
TANF, RCA, and associated services are
provided; the respective roles of the
various agencies and organizations in
serving participants; how the agencies
and organizations integrate services
internally and/or collaborate with other
organizations; approaches to addressing
the particular barriers refugees face;
promising practices and strategies for
assisting refugees; gaps in services; data
maintained by programs serving
refugees; and local labor market
conditions.
(3) The focus group guide will collect
information from program participants
about the services they received, how
they were delivered, their experiences
attempting to achieve self—sufficiency
within a rapid timeframe, and the
challenges they have faced.
Respondents: Individuals receiving
RCA, TANF, and related services; State
Refugee Coordinators/Wilson-Fish
Program Coordinators; Managers and
staff at local TANF offices; local
resettlement agency staff; communitybased organization staff providing
services to refugees; staff operating
alternative cash assistance programs for
refugees such as Public/Private
Partnerships(s) and Wilson-Fish
programs (if different from the local
resettlement agency); and staff from
other programs providing employability
and social adjustment and cultural
orientation services to refugees.
