Information Collection Request Title:
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
Outcomes within the Context of the
Affordable Care Act, OMB No. 0906–
xxxx—New.
Abstract: The Health Resources and
Services Administration’s HIV/AIDS
Bureau (HRSA/HAB) implements the
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
(RWHAP). This program provides HIVrelated services in the United States for
those who do not have sufficient health
care coverage or financial resources for
coping with HIV disease. Enacted in
2010, the Affordable Care Act has had
profound impacts on health care
financing and delivery that are
continuing to unfold. The expansion of
health care coverage impacted many of
RWHAP’s traditional clients who are
now eligible to receive health care
coverage through Medicaid coverage

and qualified health plans available on
Health Insurance Marketplaces. These
changes have required RWHAP sites to
adapt in order to fill different gaps in
care experienced by clients across the
varying health care coverage options.
The purpose of this evaluation study is
to determine the effect that Affordable
Care Act related health care coverage
has had on overall health outcomes,
service utilization, and gaps in care for
people living with HIV. This evaluation
seeks to understand how RWHAP
provider sites meet the needs of clients
under the variety of health care coverage
options clients are encountering across
the country.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The expansion of health
care coverage now offers new options of
obtaining health care services for many
individuals with HIV. Due to these
changes, additional information
concerning overall client health
outcomes, pharmaceutical and core
medical processes and outcomes, and
client access to and utilization of
support services is needed. Data from
this evaluation study will be used to
provide HRSA/HAB with the necessary
information to understand the changes
in primary health care outcomes of
RWHAP clients’ pre- and postimplementation of the Affordable Care
Act. This will inform how the RWHAP
can best serve clients in the
environment of the health care reform.
Likely Respondents: RWHAP
administrators, RWHAP care providers,
and RWHAP clients are the likely
respondents.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing, and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the

Information Collection Request Title:
Healthy Start Evaluation and Quality
Improvement OMB No. 0915–0338—
Revision.
Abstract: The National Healthy Start
Program, funded through HRSA’s
Maternal and Child Health Bureau
(MCHB), has the goal of reducing
disparities in infant mortality and
adverse perinatal outcomes. The
program began as a demonstration
project with 15 grantees in 1991 and has
expanded over the past 2 decades to 100
grantees across 37 states and
Washington, DC. Healthy Start grantees
operate in communities with rates of
infant mortality at least 1.5 times the
U.S. national average and high rates for
other adverse perinatal outcomes. These
communities are geographically,
racially, ethnically, and linguistically
diverse low-income areas. Healthy Start
covers services during the perinatal
period (before, during, after pregnancy)
and follows the woman and infant
through 2 years after the end of the
pregnancy. The Healthy Start program
has five approaches, including: (1)
Improving women’s health; (2)
promoting quality services; (3)
strengthening family resilience; (4)
achieving collective impact; and (5)
increasing accountability through
quality assurance, performance
monitoring, and evaluation.
MCHB seeks to implement a uniform
set of data elements for monitoring and
conducting a mixed-methods evaluation
to assess the effectiveness of the

Sfmt 4703
program on individual, organizational,
and community-level outcomes. Data
collection instruments will include a
National Healthy Start Program Survey;
Community Action Network Survey;
Healthy Start Site Visit Protocol;
Healthy Start Participant Focus Group
Protocol—these instruments have not
been changed. The Preconception,
Pregnancy and Parenting (3Ps)
Information Form will also be used as
a data collection instrument; however
the 3Ps Information form has been
redesigned from one form into six
forms. The six forms include: (1)
Demographic Intake Form; (2)
Pregnancy Status/History; (3)
Preconception; (4) Prenatal; (5)
Postpartum; and (6) Interconception/
Parenting. The purpose of this redesign
is to enhance the 3Ps Information Form
to ensure collected data is meaningful
for monitoring and evaluation, as well
as screening and care coordination, and
streamline previously separate data
systems. The 3Ps Information Form was
also redesigned to allow questions to be
administered in accordance with the
participant’s enrollment/service
delivery status and perinatal period. In
addition to redesigning the 3Ps
Information Form, HRSA deleted
questions that are neither critical for
evaluation nor programmatic purposes.
HRSA also added questions to the 3Ps
Information Form to allow the Form to
be used as an all-inclusive data
collection instrument for MCHB and
Healthy Start grantees. The additional
questions extend and refine previously
approved content, allowing for the
collection of more granular and/or indepth information on existing topics.
Adding these questions allows Healthy
Start grantees to better assess risk,
identify needed services, provide
appropriate follow-up activities to
program participants, and improve
overall service delivery and quality.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The purpose of the data
collection instruments is to obtain
consistent information across all
grantees about Healthy Start and its
